所谓的不稳定阶级是最原子化的阶级 ……"不稳定阶级内部自相残杀。其中一部分人可能会指责另一部分人的脆弱和不值得的生活方式（例如，临时工反感下层服务阶级的思想和生活方式）。底层阶级内部的矛盾使人们相互对立，使他们难以意识到社会和经济结构本身才是造成他们苦难的原因。他们中的许多人将被民粹主义政客和新法西斯主义呼吁所吸引，我们已经看到这一过程在欧洲、美国和其他地方展开”

"I think that my assumption was a triumphalism and a sense of victory after the fall of the Soviet Union. But the fact that the week of the Berlin Wall falling, they were already talking about new enemies —enemies that had gone underground in certain ways or transformed in ways that were elusive — was the beginning of the rabbit hole. Because once you accept the idea that Marxism and socialism have survived and yet have changed their face, then anything can be Marxism and socialism.
I think this is how we can understand the fixation of the right wing on things like what they call “cultural Marxism” or “gender ideology” as essentially the new enemy of humanity. Because the adversary continuously changes shape, it makes them open to endless reinterpretation. There is a paranoid quality to the term. And the paranoia doesn’t really have any bounds, as I show in the book.
So I think the narrative arc comes from a feeling on the part of the libertarians, and often the racist libertarians, that they can contain their enemy in new ways by pinning it down on hierarchies of intelligence or deploying the latest findings from genetics. But by the end of the book, with a chapter on “gold bugs” and the far-right obsession with gold, there’s almost a sense of desperation or surrender to the inevitable, a failure to contain their enemies and the idea of an impending collapse and inevitable apocalypse.
(...)
What I recognize is a sort of desperation and a kind of ungoverned willingness to reach for radical remedies in a time of great peril. And as I described in the last chapter, often the rhetorical technique of the gold bug is to predict a coming apocalypse and then immediately sell you the only means there is to protect you from the worst.
I think there’s that accelerationism visible right now on the far right, certainly in the United States."

"Creativity and cognitive flexibility are really powerful resilience factors against thinking in ideologically closed and authoritarian ways."
From a really fascinating interview with Leor Zmigrod, neuroscientist and author of 'The Ideological Brain'.
#neuroscience #ideology #cognitive #creativity
Fascinating look at how our brains influence ideology and political beliefs, insightful work by @leorzmigrod.bsky.social. Just added her new book, “The Ideological Brain”, to my reading list! #Neuroscience #Ideology #Politics #ResearchSky
Ideology May Not Be What You T...
"The Trump administration is quietly drafting a bold new strategy for combating terrorism that targets a wide range of perceived foes, from Tesla vandals to everyday protesters, intelligence sources say.
White House counterterrorism czar Sebastian Gorka is leading the effort, which covers both foreign and domestic strategies. Gorka recently boasted that the president has “done a 180 on our counterterrorism policy.” He’s also been quite candid in comparing his political opponents to terrorists, as I’ve written about.
Farewell episode of “The Gorka Reality Check” show in January
The domestic focus derives from the view that foreign control, antisemitism and a conspiracy against Donald Trump are behind everything from Gaza protests to Planned Parenthood. White House insiders firmly believe that protestors are being “paid” to disrupt the Trump agenda, the same sources say. "

Lao Socialism with Buddhist Characteristics
https://monthlyreview.org/2025/04/01/lao-socialism-with-buddhist-characteristics/
Through the doctrine of karma, it encourages a prudent approach to natural resource use and discourages greed and overexploitation. This ecological ethic has shaped Lao environmental policies and practices, fostering the integration of 'green growth' principles into national development strategies.
This trend was started in Apr 2024 by everyone’s favorite #vatnik #propagandist and “#Russia expert”, Tucker Carlson. He gave #Dugin an uncritical platform. By doing so, he mainstreamed his #ideology to millions already primed to distrust their own democratic institutions.

"Today, it’s increasingly clear that it’s the tech oligarchs — not their algorithmically-steered platforms—who present the greater danger. Their arsenal combines three deadly implements: plutocratic gravity (fortunes so vast they distort reality’s basic physics), oracular authority (their technological visions treated as inevitable prophecy), and platform sovereignty (ownership of the digital intersections where society’s conversation unfolds). Musk’s takeover of Twitter (now X), Andreessen’s strategic investments into Substack, Peter Thiel’s courting of Rumble, the conservative YouTube: they’ve colonized both the medium and the message, the system and the lifeworld.
We must update our taxonomies to account for this new species of oligarch-intellectuals. If yesterday’s public intellectual resembled a careful archaeologist methodically excavating cultural artifacts for display in rarefied literary journals, today’s model is the demolition expert, wiring entire societal structures with ideological explosives and detonating them from the safe distance of offshore accounts. They don’t write about the future; they install it, beta-testing theories on unwitting populations in history’s largest unreviewed experiment.
What distinguishes them from previous wealth-encrusted elites isn’t avarice but verbosity—a torrential output that would exhaust even Balzac. Where industrial barons funded think tanks to launder interests into policy papers, our oligarch-intellectuals cut out the middleman. Forget steering the algorithms: oligarch-intellectuals steer the conversation itself – and they do it with philosophical meme-grenades. Dropped at 3 AM on X, they invariably become international headlines by breakfast."

"President Donald Trump’s latest executive order titled “RESTORING TRUTH AND SANITY TO AMERICAN HISTORY” replicates a tactic used by all authoritarian regimes. In the name of countering bias, they distort the nation’s history into self-serving mythology.
History will be used to justify the power of the ruling elites in the present by deifying the ruling elites of the past. It will disappear the suffering of the victims of genocide, enslavement, discrimination and institutional racism. The repression and violence during our labor wars — hundreds of workers were killed by gun thugs, company goons, police and soldiers from National Guard units in the struggle to unionize — will be untold. Historical figures, such as Woodrow Wilson, will be social archetypes whose darker actions, including the decision to re-segregate the federal government and oversee one of the most aggressive campaigns of political repression in U.S. history, will be ignored.
In the America of our Trump-approved history books — I have read the textbooks used in “Christian” schools so this is not conjecture — equal opportunity for all exists and has always existed. America exemplifies human progress. It has constantly improved and perfected itself under the tutelage of its enlightened and almost exclusively white male rulers. It is the vanguard of “Western civilization.”
Punch #Nazis? Sure. Talk about all the Nazis dying? OK, whatever. Angry at racists? Me, too. Angry at bigots of all kinds? Hell, yes.
But don't get it twisted. The people must be resisted, sometimes even fought, but they are not the root enemy, and if you find yourself just wanting to hurt bad people, you might become a worse person.
The enemies are the ideas. The #ideology. The cultural patterns. Nazism is worse than #Nazis. Bigotry is worse than bigots. #Racism is worse than racists. #Autoritarianism is worse than authoritarians.
We fight the ideas. We fight them with better ideas.
Also sometimes with punching
