@thedigradio.bsky.socialNew on The Dig: Confronting Labor's Crisis w/ Micah Uetricht & Chris Brooks It’s no surprise to our listeners that the US labor movement has long been in serious crisis - but we might soon be hitting a point of no return, after which the revival of organized labor might not be possible.
@thedigradio.bsky.socialIn this archive episode of The Dig, we discussed the ideology and politics surrounding far-right President Jair Bolsonaro - and in doing so, we also talked about far-right politics in the United States and beyond.
@thedigradio.bsky.socialWith his son, Flávio Bolsonaro, having won the first round of Brazil’s presidential election, Jair Bolsonaro is back in the political consciousness.
@thedigradio.bsky.socialHow did China become able to build so much, so quickly? It expelled the capitalists. Listen to Ben Tarnoff and Quinn Slobodian on our latest episode, Muskism
@thedigradio.bsky.socialSouth Africa has been labelled a 'reactionary futurist state' that uses high tech for backward political ends.
The country's political economy is key to understanding Musk.

@thedigradio.bsky.socialMusk helped create our technological infrastructure - a tool that people used to undermine conventions of gender, sex, class, and race. That’s why he sought to control these platforms - to ensure that they strengthened a conservative social order.
@alirizataskale.bsky.socialReposted by @thedigradio.bsky.socialGreat discussion of Muskism on @thedigradio.bsky.social: how speculative finance, state power & hard infrastructure combine to build a reactionary future. And lovely to hear @quinnslobodian.com give my work on reactionary futurism a shout-out alongside Becca Lewis’s! thedigradio.com/podcast/musk...

@thedigradio.bsky.socialWhat do someone courting venture capital and a liar have in common? Everything.
Listen to Ben Tarnoff and Quinn Slobodian on our latest episode, “Muskism.”
@thedigradio.bsky.socialMany books have been written about how foolish Musk was when he acquired Twitter.
But instead, they should be arguing that it was a shrewd decision that set him up for the manipulation of public opinion.

@robertdallasgray.comReposted by @thedigradio.bsky.socialnew @thedigradio.bsky.social is v good. nice to hear it said clearly that the aim of the ai takeover isn’t ‘nobody has to work!’ it’s that capital no longer needs labour and thus labour has much less power over capital
@vbivar.bsky.socialReposted by @thedigradio.bsky.socialThis is an excellent listen: @thedigradio.bsky.social with @quinnslobodian.com and @bentarnoff.com about their recent book. I went in cautiously b/c I can't spare another brain cell for Musk, but the emphasis is squarely on the 'ism'. Super interesting analysis.
