But it isn't the same as if the entire working class had a collective say in the capital, not just those who choose to and have the resources to pay in. It isn't the same as the workers of that company having a say in their working conditions, shift lengths, compensation, etc.
A better way to say it would instead be the inverse: "If you don't work for a paycheck, you probably hold enough capital"
Captured implies that the State didn't already function as a tool of capital
All this because Republicans in the US don't like that sending arms to Ukraine makes Biden look good to the general public.
Yes, although the US pulled itself back enough with some of FDR's reforms that it kicked the can down the road a few generations, whereas the Weimar Republic actually collapsed.
They're banking on the 6-3 conservative majority being willing to use their power.
When organized labor is crushed, what comes next is never pretty (see: 1930s Germany).
I don't know how to confirm this myself but I have read and heard that before anything else, after it was known Hamas fighters were inside Israeli territory, the IDF first move militarily was to start bombing Gaza. No one can argue honestly that the IDF defends Israelis - its literally just the most reactionary of religious Zionists that they serve.
Secular Jewish Israelis? Nah they can fend for themselves for a few hours, we've gotta attack Palestinian civilians, says the IDF. And that's not even bringing up that 20% of Israeli citizens ARE ARABS, some of whom were also attacked in their homes in Southern Israel 10 days ago, but of course the same people calling Hamas human animals will go after them next (not to suggest they aren't already, only that Gazans face more immediate extermination).
The impression I had gotten from interviews (Al Jazeera, the Guardian, Haaretz) was that Israeli civilian police were there and exchanged fire with Hamas but that it was HOURS before they came across any IDF personnel. I've been focusing on this less as the time goes on and the catastrophic situation in Gaza gets worse and worse, so maybe further sources have come out regarding the Nova Festival.
Regardless I would like to see consequences to the people who authorized a festival so close to Gaza in the first place...
Hope these are accurate! PiS's actions towards democracy and free press are sickening
Damn right when the premium plan is going up (at least in my country)
"Cmon, can't we all just hate queers in peace, together?"
Macron really going out of his way to fuck over the French people, eh? Calls snap elections right after the far right wins big in eu elections, then refuses to follow the will of the people when said election backfires.
Part of my thinks the left will be better off in opposition, though.
