Economics can either enable the slide toward fascism, or defend affordability, dignity, and democracy. I wrote ANTI-FASCIST ECONOMICS with my baby by my side—a constant reminder that the future should be livable for all. Out in October with Random House.

Important point. Also, the way criticism of Chinese policies by scholars can be picked up and used to bolster American / European / “Western” identity politics, as in “clearly we have the moral high ground” (when “we” have nothing of the kind) is an issue many China scholars constantly grapple with

Thanks to @chinafile.bsky.social for doing the interview with me. One dilemma many of us CCP critics are grappling with these days is how to keep our criticism of the CCP from being weaponized by the wrong people for their own agenda.

Delighted to see more Labour MPs embrace the need to tax the super rich. But there is so much more to do. For an ambitious and stable economy take a look at our 10 policies - starting with a wealth tax and taxing wealth like work patrioticmillionaires.uk/latest-news/...

Just the same. What happened? Our leaders were not very good or nice people; they decided that the moment meant they were the best, most justified, most correct people who had ever lived and as a special treat for being so awesome, they could now do whatever the fuck they wanted, forever.

I would rather live in the part where the arc of the moral universe is bending toward justice. I hope we can get on with that again soon. 21:05 • 10 Mar 2026 • Everybody can reply

Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran. Iraq lessons must be learned. Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe. Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.

and strengthen “our” reactionaries in the name of battering theirs. Only an egalitarian and internationalist politics can bring either peace or justice. The foreign policy world of Biden and congressional leadership is simply incompatible with such a project.

Honestly, I do think that it’s good on the whole that the UK is more aggressive in its interviewing technique than their American counterparts, but this interview was fairly ridiculous and I think anyone watching it would struggle to think it was a good faith attempt to get to know Polanski.

Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Thanks for all the kind comments! I do agree that the Green Party seems to be interviewed with so much more hostility than anyone else. But you know what - bring it on. 💚 youtu.be/cpVOHPYnnmE?...
