Few Arab intellectuals have woven Marxism, Sufism, and Taoism into a single worldview as boldly as Hadi al-‘Alawi, an Iraqi Marxist scholar who spent his life rethinking Arab heritage (turath) through anti-authoritarian spirituality and social justice.

I love Ashok's total rejection of decades of left melancholia: no more sitting on the sidelines, basking in the glory of high principles while complaining of being powerless. The strategy is not only stick to those high principles but fight for them at the v heart of the arena.
🎥 “We want to go the Farage route, not the Lib Dem route.”
Ashok Kumar of Greens for Palestine spoke to Novara Media about strategy behind the Green Party’s “Zionism is racism” motion, which took a year to organize and was designed to expose Labour’s politics. He said PM Andy Burnham’s response revealed him as little different from Keir Starmer.
Inspired by Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s France Unbowed and its “strategy of conflict,” the idea is to set the terms of debate, provoke a backlash, and heighten contradictions to force opponents to reveal positions.
Rather than chase more MPs by moderating its politics, Kumar says the Greens should use confrontation to shift the debate leftward and become an anti-establishment force.
“We want to drag [the paradigm] to the left kicking and screaming.”
