My friend and I are reading Capitalism & Disability, and we talked about exactly that last night!
Looking forward to political cartoons of Powell joining the ranks of McCain and Lewis in heaven getting mad at Trump.
I think you underestimate his appeal to the Black Community. Before Iraq he was royalty basically.
Perverting "rest in power" for a war criminal certainly can't be justified with any of that.
Unless Black Socialism is now okay with Black Imperialism/colonialism the use of 'rest in power' is very strange. Do the words actually mean anything anymore or are they just sounds we mouth without belief? Originally the 'power' in 'rest in power' referred to the 'power' of resistance, not of domination, which is the kind of power Powell exhibited in life.
The use of 'rest in power' here by Bowman completes the flanderization of the phrase.
What's next, 'rest in power' for a Black slumlord? Maybe 'rest in power' for a Latino drug boss?

Herr Lenin's words as applied to revolutionary phrases rather than revolutionary people.

Thanks for the reminder to post this:
Also, has anyone seen Miklos Jancso's The Red and The White? I can't remember who recommended it to me but it's about Hungarian Communists who aid the Bolsheviks in 1919. Heard it's really good.
The latest Jacobin has a good article on Fassbinder's leftism, which I wasn't really aware of. It's most evident in Eight Hours Don't Make a Day, his short lived series about workers.
Apparently, after his overdose, found in his notes for his next project was the title "Rosa L."
This reminds me of the time someone told me that Piketty was a "Neo-Marxist". People are crazy, man.

Yeah, I was gonna edit it with something else instead but now you've immortalized it!
I do not view 'defensive war' as 'subjugation', that is what you're missing. If they come at us, we will fight back, if they leave us alone we will leave them alone (as long as they are not oppressing allies). The model I'm using is inspired by this:
Alt-Right Coloradans Went to War with an Alpaca Farm — And the Farm Won
For nearly nine months, Tenacious Unicorn Ranch, a safe haven for trans and queer Coloradans, faced violent threats from right-wing extremists. Until, that is, they turned to their local anarchists for help.

Violence will likely be necessary, but even then there is justifiable self-defense versus antagonistic oppression. War exists along a gradient and some forms (particularly defensive ones) are less culpable than others.
Nah, I didn't want to derail the Biden thread with Russian history so I tagged yogurt to see if he was interested in continuing here.
Just ignore the workers agitating/quitting/striking for safer work environments during a pandemic, including masks and vaccine mandates for not just workers but people they have to interact with.
I'm no economist so I'm not sure how accurate this is but Varoufakis and Slavoj Zizek had a very interesting conversation where the former expounded on his theory that capitalism has evolved since the crash of 2008 into techno-feudalism. He describes it as a movement from markets to platforms where the entire system is basically kept afloat by money coming from the central banks. Some of y'all with more knowledge about economics might find it interesting.
My... "obsession" with avoiding technofeudalism contributed not insignificantly to my leftward turn. I will have to watch that video later. Thanks for posting. OFC I hate GaaS/SaaS/rental economy.
