I mean when you are surrounded by Americans I think it would be a bad sign if you didn’t feel like this at least sometimes

That’s the other Milan

Oxford was going to donate the rights to manufacture and market their vaccine until Gates stepped in and brought AstraZeneca on board. Good ole Horseman of Intellectual Property

What’s really funny to me is that all these books are just about how terrible and miserable England is (and I guess the anglosphere more generally re: Handmaids Tale) and then projecting that onto the USSR and communism. Like yes, 1984 is terrifying-- it’s about the UK government though, not the fucking Soviets.

A concept so genius it can be debunked by thinking about hunger for 5 seconds

I think you could argue that fascism is more generally the capitalist response to existential threats, which historically was domestic socialist and communist movements, but this definition leaves space to potentially include the present day US. Also, there is an interesting thread to pull relating to how the Trump admin is responding to crises borne out of the contradictions of neoliberalism, which in itself is a form of anticommunist repression created (in part) in response to the domestic socialist movements of the early 20th century.
