If I can push myself to do it, I will write an article about how the free software movement and the legal logic of copyleft is going to help us defeat fascism by taking finance capitalism out by its roots and replacing it with the infrastructure any democracy needs to function today.

Everyone talking about which country will be the next global reserve currency issuer needs to read The Global Minotaur by Yanis Varoufakis and consider we might instead collectively insist on the horizontal international monetary system that enables democracies by prohibiting autocracies in its very structure as a public, egalitarian union with recycling mechanisms for both global deficits and surpluses.

🇪🇺 Europe's elected leaders are punished for attending the victory parade in Moscow to commemorate the defeat of Nazi Germany
- Criminalising diplomacy has been a disaster and should end. Otherwise, peace in Europe will be negotiated solely by non-Europeans

Continued thread

I never like the “let’s be scared” framing of stuff like this (like, okay, that’s not helpful) but here it’s just a poor headline choice, not at all a theme of the interview. Balint is modeling what feels like very appropriate levels of anger, urgency, disgust, alarm (and grief), a place a lot more of us should be at or very quickly get to if effective mass action is going to be possible in the closing window before the full fascist clampdown. Also like you could show this to your mom.

A piece of knowledge many white non-immigrant English-speaking folks may need to absorb and internalize in this moment:

These government police forces acting brutally towards immigrants? They were always like that.

ICE and other policing forces in this country are fundamentally corrupt. In fact, the entire systems of "policing" and "border control" in America have racist and xenophobic origins.

If our country survives this coup attempt with democracy intact, these systems will need to be left behind or rebuilt from the ground up with a new vision. Otherwise we will be trading overt fascism for fascism lite.
