Just finished Kevin Anderson’s new book on colonialism, gender, and non-Western postcapitalism from @versobooks.bsky.social. It’s great! I used to do book summaries on Twitter, but Bluesky doesn’t seem to encourage that stuff. Would there be interest in a chapter-by-chapter breakdown of the book?

The claim that capitalism has been replaced by a new digital “feudal order” misreads the dynamics of today’s economy. Instead, our article of the week insists that capitalism endures, reorganized around rent, not production. By @koheisaito.bsky.social & @ryujisasaki.bsky.social buff.ly/uTbsnvE

Oh damn, Kohei Saito has entered into the techno-feudalism debate and his argument aligns with what me and @bigblackjacobin have been saying for a long time: Stop saying techno-feudalism, this is called rentier capitalism, and it's the basis for techno-fascism. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Rentier capitalism, technofascism and the destruction of the common by Kohei Saito and Ryuji Sasaki

This paper critically examines the emerging discourse on technofeudalism. While mainstream narratives celebrate technological advancement driven by American tech giants, proponents of the technofeudalism thesis argue that a new ruling class – ‘cloudalists’ – has supplanted traditional capitalists, extracting data and rent in ways reminiscent of feudal relations. However, this discourse fails to account for the ongoing dynamism of capitalist investment and competition. In contrast, this paper advances the concept of rentier capitalism by revisiting Marx’s analysis in Capital, with particular attention to his often-overlooked theory of ground rent in Volume III. Drawing on Marx’s notebooks published for the first time in the Marx-Engels-Gesamtausgabe (MEGA), the paper argues that rentier capitalism constitutes the most advanced and contradictory form of contemporary capitalism, which accelerates the destruction of the common and undermines the conditions necessary for working-class solidarity. As the dual crisis of capital accumulation and anti-systemic movements intensifies socio-economic and political instability, the threat of an authoritarian turn towards technofascism becomes increasingly imminent.

Many Marxists don’t understand the difference between value itself and the determination of value. The latter is literally what determines the former, not the same as the former.

Ultimately, the fundamental problem in the age of rentier capitalism is that the material basis of existing social stability is being totally weakened as the expropriation of surplus profit through the enclosure of the common becomes dominant and the state becomes explicitly complicit in it.
