The Supreme Court burns to the ground in Albania, Parliament and the Department of Education has been stormed, the Prime Minister is in hiding and the country is effectively in the hands of the rebels. Albania rejects blatant corruption and their country being sold.

"The French uprisings will amount to nothing, thus no political engagement is needed with them" is an admission your own fruitless anti-politics. Your entire political being is in service of smugly declaring "called it" should repression shatter the momentum. It's detestable.

it’s wild that people still cling so desperately to the party form in 2026. in 2020 people did establish councils and these types still said this. They will sit on the sidelines of the revolution declaring it imperfect and at the same time declare their irrelevance.
As intriguing as the French riots should be for communists, there’s no revolutionary party, nor even spontaneously formed workers’ councils. We must recognize the struggles’ significance without mistaking them for a revolutionary movement capable of overthrowing capitalism.

Looks like Americans got their livestreamed public execution after all
HORRIFIC: The U.S. Air Force tragically confirms the airman rappelling from the Alamodome rafters before the Navy-UTSA football game has died. Medical personnel immediately tended to the airman, and he was transported to a nearby hospital, where he later died from his injuries. Very sad!

Sometimes you get small crystal clear glimpses of the dynamics waiting patiently to unfold in the coming weeks/months/years.
Dior had no faith in the French police to protect their store so they brought in their own security team to protect the flagship store in Paris tonight

"Al río que todo lo arranca lo llaman violento, pero nadie llama violento al lecho que lo oprime". El poeta alemán Bertolt Brecht, sobre la hipocresía cuando se habla de la violencia del oprimido pero no de la opresión diaria del sistema capitalista.

Unlike most thinkers of his day Marx knew the real symbolic power and meaning of architecture. each building makes legible political and material forces and relationships within class societies. When they burn something else always burns too

Jag vill inte längre höra folk säga att det rör sig om ”vanliga” skolprotester. Bilderna och filmerna från Frankrike visar på ren och skär ondska.
