    “A struggle of the past against the future & against hope… of ignominy against dignity.” The “petroleum oligarchy, the big entrepreneurs, the owners of private TV networks… allied in a perfidious pro-coup coalition” aimed to “frustrate the dreams of social justice.” After “the ephemeral coup d’état president, Pedro Carmona (‘the Brief’) rushed out through the back door,” the plotters regrouped to “paralyze the economic heart of the country” via “media terrorism, something unprecedented in history.” “Private television networks & other media… attack the Chavez government 24 hours a day, calling all the time for civil disobedience, disseminating gross lies.” Their objective: “to wipe out in one fell swoop all the just laws” & “reinstate the past with its social exclusion & violation of rights.” President Chávez’s “combative & philosophical words… are an indispensable testimony of the battle that today is being waged in Venezuela for its people, for the ideas of Bolívar.”

    “Present-day imperialist & neocolonialist intervention”: “capitalism proceeded to introduce… external reforms designed to raise the extra money needed for the… welfare state at home” through “exploitation of the material & human resources of the colonial territories.” “Sham-independence” leaves “economic power under the control of international finance capital.” “Voice of America… pursuing its brainwashing mission” & “the paper war penetrates into every town & village.” Revolutionary warfare is “the key to African freedom,” requiring “an intelligent, egalitarian, critical & self-critical outlook” rather than “hierarchic, coercive & follow-like sheep relationships.” “Discipline comes from inner conviction”—“a freedom fighter who steals, loots, rapes or commits any other crime… endangers the whole revolutionary movement.” “Total liberation & unity of the African continent” is the aim.

    Samir Amin — The Law of Worldwide Value: Second Edition [2010-12-01]

    Here Samir Amin advances Marxian analysis for the era of globalized, financialized oligopolies following the 2008 collapse. Amin extends Marx’s reproduction schema by proposing a “Third Department of Production devoted to surplus absorption” to account for capital’s chronic overaccumulation. He introduces “imperialist rent”—the systematic wage differential between Global North & South—“whose effect has been to provide Northern capital with sufficient profits to permit it to pacify for a long period its conflict with the Northern proletariat.” To theorize this, Amin reformulates Marx’s law of value as a “law of globalized value” operating across polarized world structures. Situating the present within capitalism’s second long crisis (dating from the early 1970s), he concludes “no exit from repeated crises under capitalism except the descent into barbarism. The challenge is not to escape from the crisis of capitalism—a hopeless project—but to escape from capitalism in crisis.”

    Logseq. It works with Markdown or Org. Joplin is fine but I’ve moved away from it for Orgzly Revived + Logseq mobile/Emacs Orgmode + Logseq desktop all integrated with each other to do some stuff Logseq and Orgzly cannot do alone.

    You will not find a better option honestly I love my tools. Tried a lot of things and this is one that will grow with you and never overwhelm you if you respect it.

    Particularly nice to be able to smoothly turn Logseq/Orgmode stuff into LaTeX stuff and use Emacs Zotero integrations. I can publish professional-level papers and articles of pretty much any kind, from the same system where I work on Minecraft mods and remind myself to do house chores so my wife thinks I am a genius (because I am). I could write an entire textbook with it. It feels like being forced to use a revolver for years, and then switching to an AR platform.
