Nothing about the book, but curious about Praxis Press vs other leftist publishers like verso books, leftword, etc.?

Ah, I meant the selection of philosophers was Western biased. But yes, to your point, most Western philosophers also have Western biases

Our failure to reckon with this racism for black liberation means that this same genocidal playbook is extended to our fam in the middle east 💔

Unfortunately, most offered sources are implicitly biased towards Western/traditional intellectual philosophy as we live in a culture that has normalized and centered Western (male) philosophers

Oddly enough I think Action Comics's Action Philosophers is a really breezy introduction to an international body of philosophers that you can use to further your education. Still Western biased, but less so

I.e. Lao Tzu, Confucius, Simone du Beauvoir, Frantz Fanon, et al

It doesn't legitimize Merediths cash grab, but that union really isn't very "uniony" if it doesn't fight for it's members or act in solidarity with workers at large

Shout-out to aftermath and RPS for holding it down in the meantime

House of Fata Morgana has cult status imho and the best rated Switch game the year it released

They probably just avoided WW3 with that leak.

Good on them

Could have combined two of them to make room for patriarchy, but on point nonetheless 🇺🇲

Great answer fam 🏆

I'd dig a modern update given slavery never ended, it just moved beyond the public eye.

Since we still have legal slavery via 13th amendment of incarcerated peoples, how does that translate to current modes of production and Capital's desire for ever more profits/surplus value?
