Delighted that my essay on the @versobooks.bsky.social blog, "Notes on Campist Internationalism," has been translated into Chinese on a site named Utopia. The editorial introduction (as translated into English by AI) in many ways does a better job than my own essay. m.wyzxwk.com/Article/sich...

"And today, once again, from the genocide in Palestine to the attempted destruction of Iran along with Lebanon, we see in action what Du Bois called 'that chiefest industry — fighting,' which Rubio’s mighty civilization has excelled at." The WWI era is such a relevant precedent for our moment.
