At about minute 42 is my response to a report on the boycott of @RepeaterBooks Exploiting Palestinian suffering to conceal what really happened is exactly why identity politics destroys the left. Thanks to @artsexpress for giving space to correct this! open.spotify.com/episode/52K…

The people still at @RepeaterBooks are great people, especially Carl Neville. And the social media manager who sabotaged the account on his way out is one of the self-appointed gatekeepers I mentioned in my essay from a few weeks back: rhyd.substack.com/p/what-hap…
Recently, unauthorized posts were published on Repeater’s social media accounts. These reflected solely the views of our social media manager, Adam Jones, and did not represent Repeater Books or Watkins Media. These posts have since been removed. Additionally, misinformation was shared on Repeater's Wikipedia page asserting that the imprint is defunct—this is categorically untrue. Repeater Books is not closing down and remains fully committed to our excellent lineup of books scheduled for publication through early 2026, and to our backlist. To set the record straight, we paused new commissioning last year due to significant financial challenges. Following a modest profit in 2021, 2022 and 2023 were our toughest financial years, each resulting in losses of almost £200,000. Financial difficulties continued through 2024, with losses of approximately £139,000. Throughout this challenging period, our support for existing authors and their books has remained unwavering. Repeater has always championed bold, challenging ideas, and that remains unchanged. We’re alive, and we don’t agree

Happy Birthday to the Communist Manifesto. A book more people should read because currently this shit we have now is not working (or rather it does, for the bourgeois swine).

I'm one of the Repeater authors mentioned by @DanielTutt in his latest essay about left censorship. Here's my story. I'm glad I finally told it (link in bio).

Never forget when liberals bemoaned how Guantanamo Bay wasn't living up to its Green transition goals.

I have been working with this for a couple of months now & I am thankful for its wisdom. What I have always loved & admired about Rhyd’s work is he gives people permission to be simple. In a world with all the choices, Rhyd once again allows Tarot to be simple in the best way

"If you require an authoritarian strongman to manifest your destiny, then that destiny was never yours in the first place. And if a single authoritarian strongman can destroy an entire order of being, that order was never going to survive anyway."

The emerging order isn’t twentieth-century fascism. It’s something we haven’t seen before—a new configuration of forces that demands urgent critique and analysis on its own terms. And people should be honest about that.

What we’re seeing is the wholesale collapse of Anglo-American liberalism and the left, esp. after the latter became indistinguishable from the former in all the ways that matter in 2020. This is terrible in the short term but opens up a space for a new left, which must be open.

"The problem isn’t just that we cannot easily judge who and what should represent to us an accurate source of knowledge, but also that we don’t even have time to ask ourselves these questions before scrolling on to the next post, the next image, or the next reel."

Hey: you're gonna be okay. Seriously. Go for a walk, go be a body, get out of your head. This whole system works by feeding you crisis after crisis, keeping you in a perpetual state of emergency. The most effective resistance to this starts simply: just be.
