Here’s a quick roundup of highlights from research we published in 2023, on climate change, capitalism, colonialism, degrowth and post-capitalist futures. As always, free PDFs are available via the link at the end of the thread. 🧵

Ireland, Spain, Slovenia and the Netherlands are boycotting Eurovision over Israel’s participation. This is absolutely the correct move. Never normalize a genocidal regime.

"Socialism is the people. If you're afraid of socialism you're afraid of yourself."

On this day in 1969, the Black Panther Party deputy chairman Fred Hampton was drugged and murdered in his home on the orders of the FBI. Hampton sought to unify the US working class across racial lines, and inspired people toward socialism.

“To Leave” makes it sound like a kindness. Leaving without the possibility for return is called ETHNIC CLEANSING.

Here is the paper. Enjoy!

I'm excited to announce this new study, published in The Lancet Planetary Health, which explores public support for degrowth and ecosocialist transformation. The findings are quite surprising. We surveyed more than 5,000 people in the UK and US, using demographically

Let's be clear: the US govt *does not* care about the people of Venezuela. It cares about US hegemony and the interests of the US capitalist class. That is what this is about.

A US invasion would be a war crime against international law, and would result in tens of thousands of deaths. Every single one of these freaks posting pro-invasion takes will have blood on their hands.

Remember, these regime-changers *do not* care about democracy. This is pure PR narrative. The US gladly coups democratically elected leaders (Mosaddegh, Lumumba, Allende, etc), and gladly props up actual autocracies (Saudi, Jordan, Egypt, etc) if it serves their interests.

"The domestic destabilisation campaign is being amplified by an escalation of interference from the United States." The @ProgIntl Observatory is in Honduras to stand with its people against foreign intervention.

Western politicians say "Israel is defending our values" and all I can think about is images of children disembowelled by Israeli bombs, made in the USA.

You really don’t despise Israel enough

Refaat Alareer's book "If I Must Die" is now available in paperback and e-book, and the audio book will release December 9.

Delinking is gaining traction among some political movements in the global South. What is it, and how can it be achieved? https://t.co/npP4AStcxD

The UN General Assembly resolution against torture was rejected by only three countries: the US, Israel, and Argentina, who remind the world that they oppose even the most basic principles of humanity.

In a sane world, the government guilty of committing genocide would be dismantled, and forced to pay reparations. Instead they are allowed to corral their victims into a concentration camp and steal their land. We live in the most obscene of all possible timelines.

Israel and the US claiming more than half of Gaza through ethnic cleansing and genocide, appropriating most of its agricultural land and leaving Palestinians locked in a concentration camp, is truly plumbing the depths of evil.

In a normal world, this should be an immense scandal in Europe. Le Monde has a long article ( https://t.co/YMCO5sHYcL) describing the hellish life of Nicolas Guillou, a French judge at the ICC in The Hague, due to U.S. sanctions punishing him for authorizing arrest warrants

Someone in the replies claims China's clean energy development is only for export. This is false. China is installing more clean energy capacity than the rest of the world combined, while *also* exporting clean energy tech that's helping the rest of the world decarbonize.
