Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"There is perhaps no organization with a better reputation among leftists around the world than the MST. Its admirers will tell you that the group has managed accomplishments that elude progressive movements elsewhere: It maintains a radical approach, pushing for revolution in the long term while providing homes and incomes for working-class Brazilians in the short; it has adapted to shifting conditions without suffering major rifts; and it fought to get Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Brazil’s once and current president, out of prison in 2019 and back into power, all while keeping its independence from the ruling Workers’ Party. “We have been very inspired by the MST as a political and social movement,” Enzo Camacho, from the ALPAS Pilipinas, a group that works to organize the Filipino diaspora in Berlin, told me. Belén Díaz, a sociologist and a member of the left-feminist Bloque Latinoamericano collective, put it more bluntly: “The Landless Workers’ Movement is the most respected social movement in the world.”</p><p>In October 2022, the Workers’ Party won back the keys to the presidential palace and, despite a January 6–like coup attempt by Bolsonaro and his supporters, Lula took up residence the following year. With democracy secured and the reactionaries out of the executive branch, the MST shifted into a more offensive posture: It began to seize more unused land and to occupy illegal farms once again. The movement’s return to its pre-Bolsonaro form seemed to surprise Lula’s administration, and it generated some mainstream attention<br>(...)<br>Though Bolsonaro was defeated in 2022, his Partido Liberal won the largest bloc of seats in Congress. Lula must work with the right-wing forces funded by rich landowners and rapacious agribusinesses, lest his administration risk impeachment or abuses of the legal system"</p><p><a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/world/brazil-mst-landless-workers-movement/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">thenation.com/article/world/br</span><span class="invisible">azil-mst-landless-workers-movement/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Brazil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Brazil</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/MST" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MST</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/LandReform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LandReform</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Agriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Agriculture</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/MovimentoSemTerra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MovimentoSemTerra</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/ClassWarfare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClassWarfare</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Lula" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lula</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Bolsonaro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bolsonaro</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"What will it take to beat Amazon? Much more of what we’ve seen this past year, escalating to disruptive actions sustained over time and coordinated systematically on a global scale.</p><p>To get there, we will need union drives that embrace three principles: First, a class-struggle organising approach, recognizing that this is a fight between two opposing interests: Amazon workers, who demand the full fruits of their labor and rights at work, versus their bosses, who want to maximize profit and control. Second, the movement must be driven by bold, concrete demands that clarify what is at stake. Amazon workers have shown they will make extraordinary sacrifices if they are strongly motivated by the prospect of changing their lives. And third, there must be thorough and democratic shop-floor organising. There are no shortcuts to building the strength and resiliency necessary to withstand the blows of Amazon’s union busters.</p><p>This must be a coordinated, global effort."</p><p><a href="https://socialistproject.ca/2025/04/how-amazon-workers-can-organise-globally/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">socialistproject.ca/2025/04/ho</span><span class="invisible">w-amazon-workers-can-organise-globally/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Amazon</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigTech</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Unions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Unions</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/LaborMovement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborMovement</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/ClassWarfare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClassWarfare</span></a></p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"The US doesn't have enough qualified tool-and-die makers and other skilled tradespeople to produce the machines that will make the goods that Americans want to buy. New tradespeople can be trained, but acquiring these skilled trades is a process of many years. For the US to reshore its manufacturing, it needs substantial, sustained public investment in capacity-building: loans and grants to train workers and investment in basic research and other non-market goods needed to recover the US manufacturing base.</p><p>America should do all that, but if it wants to try, it needs a robust, predictable, orderly system of government to build upon. It needs the kind of reliable and orderly processes that make people feel safe about changing trades and going back to school. It needs imports of goods from overseas that can be used to restart the US manufacturing capacity that can replace those imports.</p><p>But in a market like this one, dominated by monopolies who needn't fear the Trump-gutted FTC, DOJ and CFPB; where cartels have captured their regulators; where Doge-style chaos spreads existential terror about the future, tariffs will only raise prices, without any significant re-shoring or capacity building. The Trump tariffs are a gift to giants like Nike, who have the logistics sophistication to exploit loopholes, demand preferential rates from shippers and brokers, and to pass on costs to their customers. Any domestic company that seeks to compete with Nike will not have these advantages. For Nike – and other dominant companies – the Trump tariffs are just another moat, another obstacle which they can hurdle, but which stops smaller competitors dead in their tracks:"</p><p><a href="https://pluralistic.net/2025/04/07/it-matters-how-you-slice-it/#too-big-to-care" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">pluralistic.net/2025/04/07/it-</span><span class="invisible">matters-how-you-slice-it/#too-big-to-care</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Economy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Economy</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Economics</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Tariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tariffs</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/TradeWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TradeWar</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PoliticalEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliticalEconomy</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Oligopolies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Oligopolies</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Antitrust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Antitrust</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/ClassWarfare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClassWarfare</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Capitalism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Neoliberalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Neoliberalism</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"The bad news, as demonstrated by the American story, is that an age of leisure will not automatically flow from increased productivity. The good news is that political interventions can bring us closer to this vision.</p><p>“While Keynes’ predictions regarding productivity growth have actually been exceeded over the past nearly 100 years,” conclude Behringer, Gonzalez Granda, and van Treeck, “the obstacles to more leisure time are primarily socio-political in nature.”</p><p>The Scandinavian social democracies, even in their recently weakened states, offer the starkest counterexample. They are highly productive, but their workers put in six to ten fewer hours per week than their American counterparts do, a trend that holds for low and high earners alike.</p><p>Unions have proven essential in translating productivity gains into shorter working hours. American union membership has collapsed since the postwar period; Scandinavian union rates have fallen recently, but workers in the region still maintain a powerful, centralized collective bargaining system that secures shorter workweeks, generous paid leave, and predictable schedules.</p><p>The comprehensive welfare systems in these countries further reduce overwork. With universal health care, subsidized childcare, free education through university, and robust social safety nets, Scandinavians don’t face the same financial pressures that drive Americans to sacrifice their free time for a paycheck. Importantly, these welfare policies have also increased female workforce participation, reducing women’s spousal dependency and decreasing the pressure on men to work long hours to support their families.</p><p>Scandinavian societies have seen inequality expand and their welfare states erode in recent years, but these features are still significantly more pronounced than in the United States." </p><p><a href="https://jacobin.com/2025/03/work-keynes-scandinavia-class-leisure/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jacobin.com/2025/03/work-keyne</span><span class="invisible">s-scandinavia-class-leisure/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Work" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Work</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Capitalism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Overworked" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Overworked</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Productivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Productivity</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/ClassWarfare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClassWarfare</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/WageSlavery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WageSlavery</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Keynes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Keynes</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Scandinavia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Scandinavia</span></a></p>

Julian Crosson-Hill, ACC<p>I'm reading a lot of "analysis" that says Democrats should focus on class issues and downplay culture wars. While I agree, if "downplay culture wars" means "throw trans people under the bus" get out of here with that.

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Many factors contributed to Democrats’ losses, but party loyalists — especially the ones who oversaw the destruction of small-town and industrial America, are always happy to point the finger at bigotry. It’s a handy excuse for ignoring the party’s many flaws, including its capture by billionaire donors who directed Harris to back off her brief, tepid foray into economic populism.</p><p>Despite the rhetoric of the last decade, trying to win elections by exhorting Americans to exorcise their racist demons seems a dubious endeavor and one that, as scholar Adolph Reed has noted, risks “undermining the possibility of a political-economic challenge coming from the lower class.” Under the tutelage of Robin DiAngelo and earlier anti-racist gurus, social justice progressives have been trying for decades to train away the racism they believe is harbored in every “white-skinned body.”</p><p>The result? Democrats have now lost the trust of working America.

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"An independent left media will not create the same controlled environment many Democrats and their patrons have come to rely on: paid advertisements, social media posts, and highly selective engagements with professional news. Hopefully, the 2024 election compels Democrats to move beyond these safe spaces. A vibrant left media sphere — with different strains of Democrats and leftists engaging in meaningful debate — would likely cool some of the animosity that festers when some views and communities are kept isolated. It might also counter factionalism and splintering across the left-of-center coalition.</p><p>The reluctance to engage new voices extends far beyond elected Democrats. Many progressives instinctively resist calls for outreach beyond the base. Some radicals cling to the fantasy that simply exposing more people to radical views will inspire a groundswell of support. Some wealthy backers may fear the unpredictable demands that new voices might introduce. Some activists fear that calls for “outreach” are just a coded push for moderation and tacking to the center. Given how often moderation is framed as the only path to grow a coalition, this skepticism is warranted. But building a left media sphere isn’t about compromising — it’s about forging new pathways to the Left."</p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Media</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>News</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Politics</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AlternativeMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlternativeMedia</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Journalism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/WorkingClass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorkingClass</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/ClassWarfare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClassWarfare</span></a> <a href="https://jacobin.com/2025/03/left-media-working-class-right/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jacobin.com/2025/03/left-media</span><span class="invisible">-working-class-right/</span></a></p>

We gotta hit these billionaires where it will hurt them the most...their wallets! <a href="https://catgirl.center/tags/USPOL" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPOL</a><span> <br><br>Do your research and find non-American companies to buy stuff from online, and organize/join protests within your community. Get organized, and fight fight fight! Never back down, and never surrender. Remind people that this isn't people versus people, but us (working class) VERSUS the billionaires/elite. Anyone who is a working class person (whether they are Republican or Democrat or even a third party voter or even non-registered voter...or even an immigrant/migrant is your ally) and anyone who is a billionaire is your enemy! <br><br>Once we begin to stand together we can and WILL WIN! We can FORCE the Government to listen to our demands! If we don't get organized as a collective, then we might as well just start admitting we want to be slaves to the billionaires and to be poor! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT! Never surrender!<br><br>If you have any resources (websites with information regarding which companies are and are not American, or places to find protests, etc...) then feel free to link them below! </span><a href="https://catgirl.center/tags/USPOL" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPOL</a> <a href="https://catgirl.center/tags/ClassWarfare" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClassWarfare</a> <a href="https://catgirl.center/tags/EatTheRich" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EatTheRich</a> <a href="https://catgirl.center/tags/FuckTrump" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FuckTrump</a></p>
