The fact that he does not seem to have an extensive review for the film The Death of Stalin makes my soul feel empty.

But looking to see if he had one did lead me to this, which was fun: https://espressostalinist.com/2016/06/09/why-does-the-pseudo-left-hate-grover-furr/

Just saw that movie last week, def enjoyed it, also made me fantasize about a TV miniseries adaptation of "Red Plenty" done as a sequel to it, with Steve Buscemi reprising his role as Khrushchev etc

DSA is descending into ridiculousness over his still unannounced 2020 run already. :lol

I'd say it's going to be a fun convention this year but the 2 big cliques voted to dissolve themselves last year and all we have now are baby libsocs shouting, "all power to the locals," not realizing that, "all power to the soviets," was a slogan to spur reluctant revolutionaries to take actual political power instead how they use it (American brain poison with socialist characteristics) and a reformed version of one of the 2 failed cliques.

It's pretty amusing to see the Jacobin types get the faintest whiff of relevancy and immediately jettison anything that looks unfashionably radical.

I thought Bhaskar was tolerable when he recently debated a guy who doesn't know about the extant debate in trade unionism between the service and organizing models even though he has books published on capitalism and gets an economics column in the newspaper that doesn't negatively report on Amazon.com owned by the guy who owns Amazon.com (no relation) for the amusement of Ezra "I can't believe Paul Ryan was a liar" Klein.

He asked questions like, "Define middle class," and, "How can you get money out of politics with public financing when public financing will be paid for with taxes paid by bourgeois?" and the guy was straight shook, then started ranting about how great the Communist Party of China and / or measuring poverty at 1.90 a day is when that stat is questionable. He didn't even do the wacky Chartalist "it's free real estate" routine!

That said it was pretty funny when the DSA Twitter account recently tweeted something that should have been tweeted from Jacobin's Twitter account because 1 person has access to both accounts.

I'm to Pearlstein's first statement and it starts like this:
Quote
Ideas are important at such moments because those participating in the policy and political debates need a rationale to convince the country that disruptive change is necessary. That process often involves shedding old ideas that were useful and we thought were true in favor of other ideas that are useful and true. In the political marketplace, ideas matter in terms of the outcome, even if they were not the driving force. That’s different than saying that ideology or some ideological movement played a starring role.

So in the book, I lay out several of those ideas and why they are have been pushed so far that they are no longer useful or valid.

Our goal should be: Use all the tools available in a democratic society to convince a broad swath of the public — frontline workers, middle managers, professionals, executives, academics, journalists — that certain types of business behavior are no longer socially acceptable.

Unacceptable because they offend our moral sensibilities. Unacceptable because they are economically counterproductive. And unacceptable because they erode the trust and cooperation that are necessary for a successful capitalism, and a successful democracy.

Change the social norms in that way and the rules and laws naturally follow. That’s a goal that is more likely to be achieved, and more likely to be effective, than trying to change things by grabbing power and shoving a different set of rules and norms down everyone’s throats.

the petty asshole in me wants to point out that Ezra should have probably noted that he's blurbed on the cover of the book:
Quote
"If anyone can save capitalism from the capitalists, it’s Steven Pearlstein. This lucid, brilliant book refuses to abandon capitalism to those who believe morality and justice irrelevant to an economic system." ―Ezra Klein, founder and editor-at-large, Vox

I love that he thinks MORE MORES will "fix" capitalism when, say, the Victorian era was rife with mores but the capitalism was so bad that it actually generated labor strife in the imperialist core.

He then requested that the judge recuse herself because, as the mother of two teen daughters, she is biased (she actually has one daughter in her mid-20's).

Very cool that the U.S. government can't broadly restrict freedom of movement, and certainly not on the basis of something so unrelated to the one neat trick (national security) as gender, so they pass a specious crime bill and now businesses get to broadly restrict the freedom of movement on the basis of gender. I'm sure that's just a big coincidence!

I can't seem to find it on their site now so it might not have been Reason, but in any case some libertarian site did a story talking to some sovereign citizens in jail*, and one of them was a guy who was in for pretty much life, and after he got turned down twice for parole he started listening to the crazy guy in their cellblock and decided to do it just to fuck with the parole board. One of my few heroes in life.

*Apparently they are quite common in the northwest. Which probably is why the judges are so patient in the two videos of the Natural Living Man, common to deal with them.

As the American service economy crumbled under Obama, leftists told the unemployed to “learn to code”. Now that they are unemployed, ex-journalists claim those that tell them to “learn to code” are guilty of “targeted harassment”.

spooks you say? i found this on the charnel house blog
https://leftforum.org/events/zizek-delenda-est
Quote
Description:
Is Slavoj Zizek a US propaganda psyop? I want to ask my comrades on the left to consider the possibility. After years of research, I have come to the conclusion that Zizek is a charlatan posing as a "Stalinist" to both discredit communists by performing a caricature Bolshevik and simultaneously, to smuggle fascist ideas including old fashioned Aryan supremacism and 19th century race theory, back into public discourse disguised as radical left critique of liberalism. I will focus on how he exploits his radical left image to spread imperialist propaganda and disinformation. I'll trace the origins of the Zizek Industry to his first anointing by the New Left Review, then edited by (among others) Quentin Hoare and Branka Magas, Croatian Nationalists and Tudjman supporters and founders of the Bosnian Institute, as the Balkan Leftist who would initiate, in 1990, the dominant strain of imperialist propaganda about Yugoslavia, and yet further back to his career as an antiMarxist, antiCommunist "dissident" and Slovene ethnic nationalist. I will discuss the way he has influenced a generation to the point where now right wing and reactionary ideas as well as pure white house disinformation and propaganda are routinely packaged as hip "lefty" and "radical" thought.
