A good analysis of the way that the MAGA civil war that a lot of people have been talking about isn't only about antisemitism (though it's clearly about that too) but also about broader neoliberal policy issues.

Watching the protests like #NoKings call out "Save Our Government! Save Our #Democracy!" after centuries of colonization and decades of imperialism feels like watching people getting upset because their favorite Kaiju is losing the fight instead of doing something to help the people getting crushed by rubble.
Flashback: February 28, 2025
"The 'dismantling' that is currently occurring in the US and other states in the metropole represents a clear program of eliminating the welfare aspects of the state and reducing its less aggressive international interventions, while further expanding the reach of capital, particularly big tech capital. The mass layoffs we are seeing are meant to weaken precisely those elements of the state that are not useful to the rapacious extension of big capital’s grip on every aspect of society and the economy.
None of this amounts to a de facto weakening of the American state. Depending on popular response, either a strengthening or a weakening of the state are possible outcomes. Of course, neither the strengthening or weakening of the state necessarily means a parallel strengthening or weakening of capital.
The key immediate issue is how this impacts real people’s real lives and how we position ourselves in relation to that.
Clearly, lobbying for social reforms is not our wheelhouse. We should be articulating a viable anti-capitalist option in such a way that people can see it as both possible and realistic. We currently lack the elements necessary to do so: a clear revolutionary position around which the far left can cohere; an interested, informed, and involved audience open to our ideas; the capacity to insert ourselves in unfolding struggles in a way that allows us to provide some degree of ideological and practical leadership."

Matthew Lyons’ writing has had a huge impact on my thinking - #ThreeWayFight analysis, recognizing red-brown politics, criticism of liberal anti “extremism” - the list goes on.
His recent interview with @lastborn on the 2024 election is a must listen for anarchists and anti-fascists.

"To be clear, a second Trump presidency would be disastrous. Recognizing and countering that danger is more important than whether we call it fascist or not. And Trump doesn’t have to dismantle the US electoral system to wreak massive damage. That 'democratic' electoral system, in its various incarnations, has provided the framework for witchhunts and lynchings, roundups of political dissenters, the enslavement of African people and genocide against Indigenous nations. It can be turned to such ends again."
