Lula beat Flávio Bolsonaro. But who actually rules Brazil? Revisit our pre-election conversation with Juliano Fiori on US interference, fragmented state power, and what it means to defend Brazilian sovereignty. buff.ly/Be3XYk4

The pre-political is important (which is why we talk about it on @bungacast). It concerns an intuition that the conditions on which socialism, let alone Marxism, were built are no longer with us. And not just the intellectual conditions, which is what people tend to focus on, but the cultural (psycho-social) ones.

The movie Backrooms turns places that could be anywhere into somewhere you can’t escape. Why does everywhere feel like nowhere? Bungacast’s documentary series Nowhere, Everywhere explores what happens to public space—and politics—when we lose our sense of place. LINK: buff.ly/2Crh6qk

"For now, Lula has done enough. In the words of his 1989 campaign song, Lula there, a star shines, hope grows. His star has confirmed itself in the firmament, and good-vibes progressivism holds out a bit longer against the forces of anti-society." Me in @compactmag

Pra quem quiser conhecer mais sobre as ideias do MBL/Missão, recomendo ouvirem a essa excelente entrevista do meu amigo @opslima pro @BungaCast, sobre a Nova Direita Brasileira. Orlando é um grande intelectual, recomendo lerem-no pra saírem do senso comum e do convencional.

48% of count in and Lula has taken the lead for basically the first time. Central São Paulo has exploded in chanting and singing.

Multiple cities in Brazil including São Paulo and Salvador which both went for Lula in the first round are reporting having significant parts of their public transport system taken offline as part of vote suppression tactics by pro Bolsonaro politicians

Quem quiser acompanhar a conversa completa, aqui está. 1h30min de podcast falando sobre Partido Missão, ideologias e modernidade. Aproveitem!
🚨New Episode🚨 Brazil's election has suffered from a lack of vision. No one really believes in the country's "glorious future". Except for Missão, an unlikely new party. One of its main thinkers is a "right-wing Zizekian"... /565/ New Right Modernizers? ft. @opslima [in PT]

We just put out our first @bungacast episode in Portuguese. I hoped YouTube auto-dubbing would make it easier to follow for our regular anglophone audience, but it has refused. Any advice?

Public infrastructure—private wealth. Who gets the final say? Fixing what’s falling apart means confronting the people who control the money. Scholar Joscha Abels joins us to talk about global infrastructure, from satellites to cloud computing to undersea cables. 👇

Great episode! always exciting to hear a fellow countryman I hadn’t heard of speak so intelligently about such fascinating things.
🚨 NEW EPISODE 🚨 We live in a world with satellites overhead yet potholes underfoot. Infrastructure is the wealth of those with no wealth. So what happens when we let it fall apart? We discuss with scholar Joscha Abels LISTEN: buff.ly/ci9Opbq

🇮🇪 The Irish state has published an advert discouraging grandparents from hugging their grandchildren, as part of a campaign designed to promote "consent".

What this interview really brought home was how utterly dependent we are on privately owned & controlled global infrastructure. We don't even have the emergency brake of expropriation at a national level anymore.
Why compete when you can own the infrastructure? Josha Abels on Big Tech carving up the digital world and states helping their corporations get ahead. Where does corporate power end and state power begin? 🎧 The Wealth of Those with No Wealth patreon.com/bungacast
