    Jokes about capital/dead labor aside, this is the problem with handing over our video lectures and other original course materials to universities that don’t care whether we live or die. What a disrespectful way to treat the dead professor and his students

    Woody G. can be a great communist and antifascist, and This Land can be a subtly subversive song about property and property, and it can also be a ballad of settler colonialism, because US culture and the history of the left are complicated and contradictory, forged in empire

  14. It’s so weird to me how people feel like we either have to say Biden is a good man or trash the whole operation. The Biden administration is a lot of people, it’s bigger than Biden, it will be better than the T admin, and Biden still all did all of those horrible things.

    Don’t underestimate the importance of union buttons especially in hyper controlled work environments like retail. They rupture a bit the illusion of the boss as all powerful, signal solidarity to co-workers, and help create an open, positive campaign environment.
