    That said, the reason Golden Dawn lost out is probably because many of its voters switched their support to New Democracy, which has basically taken on board the far-right's anti-immigration rhetoric. Mitsotakis appealed to centrists, but his party remains a v/ right-wing force.

    If there's a silver lining to the election results in , it's that Golden Dawn did not make the 3% threshold and will no longer be represented in parliament, while MeRA25 did get 9 MPs elected, enabling to lead a small but credible left-wing opposition.

    On this day in 2015, 61% of Greek voters rejected the EU's austerity regime in a national referendum. Today, exactly 4 years later, Tsipras is about to be swept from office by a reinvigorated right. All he achieved was to destroy the left in the process.

    Immanuel Wallerstein writes his final commentary. His parting words: ”I have indicated in the past that I thought the crucial struggle was a class struggle ... I think there is a 50-50 chance that we’ll make it to transformatory change, but only 50-50.“

    In his review of Sassoon's new book, Harold James includes a rather strange dismissal of important recent research on capitalism's violent origins in slavery and colonialism as “just a meaningless bit of mythmaking prehistory.” I'm not sure what to say...

    Assessing Streeck's recent writings on capitalism and migration, I argue that his "exceedingly catastrophist worldview, devoid of any emancipatory potential, has tempted him to veer dangerously close to the welfare chauvinism of the nationalist right."

    In 2016 (!), I wrote a 12,000-word critical review of Wolfgang Streeck's recent work for Historical Materialism. They've just published it as an advance article on their website. I'll be linking to a non-paywalled pre-print version in the thread below:

    House prices in Amsterdam have risen by 64% over the past 5 years, while real disposable household income grew by only 4.4%. The city has become a “cash machine” for international investors, but many Amsterdammers can no longer afford a place to live.

    We live in a time of political and ideological turbulence, and everyone loves to quote Gramsci’s famous line on “The old is dying and the new cannot be born”. But what does such a breakdown of hegemony actually entail? I try to anwer it this my new article in P&S

    "Turbulence and instability are as natural a state for the capitalist world economy as stable hegemony. If we can draw one lesson from history, it should be the astonishing ability of capitalism to overcome crisis."

    For my next book, I ditched Word in favor of Scrivener. Best. Decision. Ever. Should've made the switch ages ago. If you're doing a PhD or writing a book, and if you like to have your manuscript, your notes and your readings all in one place, don't waste your time like I did ☝️
