Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor’s @nytimes.com interview is an abject lesson in the bankruptcy of liberal extremism of this newspaper. There is an ideological failure to come to terms with the reality of their front page as Klein says somewhere in these interviews. #EndTimesFascism

A question for post-Keynesians and others: how will the economy be stabilized in the aftermath of an AI-crash? Perhaps this time a politically induced crash given the rising doom day scenarios and the anti-data center sentiments across the country.

It is “Late Capitalism,” not “Late Stage Capitalism.” I wonder what makes those who use the latter version to add “Stage”? A nod to stagism perhaps.

After Michigan Loss, AIPAC Weighs a Second Effort to Defeat El-Sayed
The pro-Israel organization spent $32 million in an unsuccessful effort to defeat Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary. It might try again in the general election.

El-Sayed victory is a litmus test for the Dems. They have a choice: Either they will capitulate to the extremism of white supremacism and genocide denialism or embrace a truly moderate, gentle progressive agenda.

Trump is a symptom of the radically centrist Democratic Establishment and its persistent disavowal of its obscene obsolescence in the face of climate crisis, the decline of the US Empire and centralization and concentration of capital in oligarchic nodes. Convince me otherwise.

Have to imagine it's a complete coincidence that the same outlets publishing one piece after another talking about how extremely dangerous and unacceptable the Left is are also laundering genocide and normalizing targeting of trans people while featuring puff pieces on Far Right fascists.

Centrist Democrats Rebuke Party's Left Wing: 'We Are Capitalist, Not Socialist' Following high-profile primary victories by democratic socialists, some moderate Democrats are advocating a different course, highlighting tensions in the party.

Probably this is in part Americans genuinely not wanting another Iraq/Afghanistan but also recognizing that this is only going to accelerate the demise of the global equation that made the US possible. Labor aristocracy of the center is the counterpart of the comprador bourgeoisie of the periphery.

Somethings happen very quickly. After the 1929 Crash, New Deal took less than a decade (1933-1938) to establish all the mediating institutions that made US win the war and the subsequent Pax Americana possible. Those were also the years Nazis goose stepped into power.
