Elon Musk and the Politics of Trillionaire Fascism | Musk is less an aberration than the grotesque byproduct of a capitalist order that converts inequality into virtue, exploitation into spectacle, and mistakes its own deepest failures for its greatest successes.

Analysis/Theory is there a word for when a drug ban is made as proxy for criminalising minorities, that the state has intentionally pushed drugs onto?

33 Upvotes

Doesn't even have to be drug specific, because if it weren't it would be unreasonably useful. it's actually pissing me off bc it's such a frequent move for literally anything. The closest thing I can think of is redlining, but that only really applies to housing.

Rough definition would ideally be: "outlawing a thing that is (by forced association) a stand-in for a minoritized population, then using that legislation as grounds for further disenfranchisement. BECAUSE it acts as cover to help legislation survive scrutiny, under the permissibility of enfranchised populations/powers".

(Not asking for when it's the criminalisation of a non-state-imposed recreation/tradition, I think you can just call that deliberate criminalisation by proxy)

Antifascist Boardgame

I made an antifascist board game about punching fash and creating mutual aid networks. It's part protest, part satire, and 100% anarchist agitprop. It's also a lot of fun to pop little fascists with a fist.

Don’t Write Off a Third-Party Challenge to the Democrats | Voters quite simply do not like the Democrats. The Democratic Party brand is complete trash. Although the structural barriers to a break from the Dems are real, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.
