    For centuries, the “left” hoped popular movements would lead to changes for the better. Today, many leftists seem terrified of popular movements for change, convinced “populism” must lead to “fascism.” But it needn’t be so, says Diana Johnstone.

    Capitalism as we know it is over. So suggests a new report commissioned by a group of scientists appointed by the UN Secretary-General. The main reason?

    Praxis and critical theory

    Originally published: Historical Materialism on November 2018 (more by Historical Materialism)  | (Posted Dec 04, 2018)

    In fact, my book begins with the early Marx because he created the first version of what I call the philosophy of praxis. The key problem of this version of Marxism is what Marx called the “realisation” of philosophy.

    Originally published: Marxist Sociology Blog on November 26, 2018 by Ryan Gunderson, Diana Stuart & Brian Petersen (more by Marxist Sociology Blog)  | (Posted Nov 29, 2018)

    Why are societies failing to effectively respond to climate change? Why is it that “environmental degradation increases amid the growth of environmental attention and concern,” as Alexander Stoner and Andony Melathopoulos put it?

    Radical black feminism and the simultaneity of oppression

    Originally published: Marxist Sociology on October 18, 2018 by Rose Brewer (more by Marxist Sociology)  | (Posted Nov 27, 2018)

    As the word intersectionality falls from the lips of Hillary Clinton and increasingly is normalized and sanitized, we should be clear about its radical moorings.

    The global rise of fascism: capitalism end game?

    Originally published: News Junkie Post on November 5, 2018 by Gilbert Mercier (more by News Junkie Post)  | (Posted Nov 20, 2018)

    It is everywhere. In a few years, it has metastasized like a cancer, on all continents. Its fervent proponents and ill-informed supporters call it populism or nationalism.

Characteristics, or “voice features,” like language accent, ethnic origin, emotion, gender, age, and background noise would be immediately extracted and tagged to the user’s data file to help deliver more targeted advertising.
