I keep thinking of all the countries in Southeast Asia that embraced export-led development by attracting FDI, becoming manufacturing zones for fast fashion et al, disciplining their labor forces and now are being slapped with tariffs + potentially losing their top export markets

Here it is: I think it's some of the most important writing I have ever done. What We Are Up Against. Exposing the secret history of the making of the climate crisis should change everything about how we act to stop it. link.medium.com/T6eZSPLevKb

¿Por qué Milei se empecina en atacar a la UBA, que está entre las mejores universidades del mundo? Por eso mismo. Porque es ejemplo de educación pública de calidad, gratuita y masiva. Pero, sobre todo, porque quiere eliminar cualquier voz autorizada que no controle el mercado.

La gente ingenua cree que el sector privado es el que produce y sostiene al Estado improductivo. Pero no existe producción sin el trabajo que aporta el sector público. El mercado no funciona sin él, empezando por el derecho de propiedad, que otorga, registra y garantiza el Estado

Estamos orgullosos de que @PalmaEdwin llegue a la junta de #ecopetrol. Fue trabajador de #ecopetrol por más de 20 años, conoce como pocos la cadena petrolera colombiana y global y es un reconocido abogado laboralista. Lo que se está manifestando es un profundo clasismo esta tarde. #somosuso #vivalauso #transiciónenergética @USO_cartagena @USOCasabe @uso_meta @yezidgarciaa @fabioariascut @MontseMirR @FELIXAOVEJERO @danielSossa9 @mlorozco78 @cesarloza01

This is my favorite line I contributed to the piece fwiw. Our problem isn't growth/degrowth, but power/control.
“Degrowthers consistently misdiagnose the core problem of capitalism as ‘growth’ when in fact it is the lack of social control over production and investment decisions.” Excellent critique by @Matthuber78 and @Leigh_Phillips. jacobin.com/2024/03/kohei-sa…

Los anarcocapitalistas claman por liberar al empresario del yugo de los trabajadores, los políticos que los representan y el Estado que los sostiene. La libertad del fuerte sin límites para explotar al débil. Quieren librarse de la “opresión” de la igualdad y la democracia.
