A graphic which uses the colours of the Palestinian flag: white, black, red and green. Text at the top reads “No games for genocide”, and text at the bottom reads “Boycott Xbox, Sign the pledge”, with the website nogamesforgenocide.com below. In the middle of the graphic is an icon of a fist punching upwards, splitting a missile in half. One half of the broken missile has the Xbox logo on it, and the other half has the Microsoft logo on it.

It was great to do the presentation with you! Lots of interesting ideas for developing the project

Everyone should subscribe to Long Haul. Beautifully made magazine of worker writing. Feels like the spiritual successor to Viewpoint longhaulmag.com

Just launched the 'Historical Materialism: Workers and Capital' journal. The starting point for this is a shared understanding that Marxism can provide important conceptual tools for understanding the relationship between workers and capital, as well as supporting the struggle against capital.

Announcing the new journal: "Historical Materialism: Workers and Capital"

We've launched a new Historical Materialism project with a CfP for the first issue. Abstracts due 31st of October

A bar chart titled Number of workers striking by year. The Screen Actors Guild was formed in 1933 amid lots of strikes before it and even more after it formed. Game Workers Started Organizing in 2017 where previously there were relatively few strikes for decades prior.

A graph of Union Membership in the United States from 1960-2020. It goes from 30% in 1960 to 10% in 2020.

Bar chart of Percent of Union Election Campaigns with an Illegal Firing. It's 5% in 1951 to 26% in 2007.

A bar chart with the title Is Ronald Regan to Blame? No has zero. Yes has 100.

Someone asked me why game workers haven't unionized if our conditions are so bad. These charts are why.

We have collectively lost the knowledge, skill, and willingness to organize and strike. We have to rebuild those, and that takes time.
