"Without this theoretical grounding [of class], it is impossible to determine whether purported Political novelties are in fact the product of strong topological interventions that subvert and recompose the structure (i.e. whether they are in fact novelties)."
A quote from the article "Rupture, Residual, and the Party Form" by A.M. The quote reads: "Contrary to the assertion that we should pursue a post-classist mode of politics, class must be vigorously re-centred in our political interventions even if our vision of class Politics must anticipate the emergence of post-classist formations and take into consideration the ways in which class itself is overdetermined by (settler-)colonialism, patriarchy, racism, etc."

In Theses on Fascism, Cam W explores how fascism is a nihilistic politics where, since the world is already doomed, joy is derived from spiting enemies: www.negationmag.com/articles/the...
Text: Politics as ressentiment entices Trump supporters. If you resign yourself to the reality that the political system is broken and that the world is burning, why not vote for the guy that trolls people you hate? Why not own the libs and drink liberal tearS? Clark says that Trump supporters are "as cynical as he is. Or rather, they are serious about spectacle. About the chanting, the hats, the latest insult. They know that's what politics now is." Some Trump supporters were motivated mainly by a desire to use slurs, which "wokeness" has taken away from them. Trump supporters believe that if the world is going to burn, they might as well have fun in the process. Fascism's embrace of nihilism is directly tied to its embrace of bad faith, as Sartre observed almost a century ago. You can't reason with fascists because they don't care about making sense. It's all a game.

“Rather than casting the Arab Spring and George Floyd protests aside as historical aberrations which reinforce the need for a return to the ways of the past, we must see them for what they are: visions of a future that belongs to a united multitude.”

“to understand the laws of ideology is to be anchored… in the unshakeable resistance of revolts which are also and always the indomitable refusal of popular thought to submit.”

from @marineluvr.bsky.social in our latest newsletter, which continued on the theme of organization and culture:
If the real enemy is resignation, then we must instill a culture of hope and confidence everywhere we organize. Namely, we must make these two attitudes commonplace: 1) Your life isn't that hard. 2) The struggle for a new world is something you can take part in. It isn't going to shame you or exhaust you or abuse you or burn you out or make you fuck up or put you in harm's way. It isn't a job meant only for smart people, or perfect people, or extroverts, or abled people, or people with more privilege than you, or people with more experience of oppression than you. It's your job.When I say we need to "instill a culture of hope", I don't mean we need to persuade people that these things are already true for them regardless of reality. We need to MAKE them true. This is the direction we should be facing: a culture where, when your comrade tells you their hours are too long or their domestic situation too fucked up to help out right now, you try to use your organizational resources to improve their situation. When a comrade seems to be working way too hard, you step in, learn their duties and take on a few. When a comrade gets frustrated by the style of a reading or action, you take this in good faith as a real challenge to transform it.
