@Jodi7768 Powerful words by Mohammed El-Kurd. “Settler” doesn’t capture the full brutality—“homicidal burglar” hits much closer to the truth. #Palestine #ColonialViolence #MohammedElKurd

Exciting! Can’t wait for Capital's Grave to come out. Love that it offers not just an analysis of technofeudalism but also a focus on the path forward through the sector of servants. A crucial perspective! 📚✨ #CapitalGrave #WorkersRights #ServiceWorkers
My book will be out in about a month. I hope people will read it not just as another take on the technofeudalism idea (which it is) but also for its emphasis on a way out—the sector of servants, that is, the majority of waged and unwaged service and care workers.
