Though, for what it's worth, for me that doesn't negate the importance of other parts of her work (though I haven't read her most recent book or two).
I attended a conference on the "Mode of Production" debate at Nottingham in 2019, at which Federici was present. I recall the late Neil Davidson politely but firmly deconstructing the historical basis of her witchcraft arguments.

The book reads Marx in light of the ideas, art and practices emerging from contemporary global peasant movements (e.g., La Via Campesina and the Brazilian Landless Workers’ Movement), while revealing lines of thought in Marx’s work germane to ecological framings of land, food and agrarian politics.

happy first day of school to semester colleagues please enjoy this jameson syllabus from January 1996
The US attack on Venezuela is rampantly and shamelessly illegal.
Donald Trump has repeatedly made it clear that the US wants to steal Venezuela's resources.
This gangsterism, trashing anything left of the 'international order', will pave the way for global violent mayhem.
The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela.
This is a brazen attempt to secure control over Venezuelan natural resources.
It is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk, and should be condemned by anyone who believes in sovereignty & international law.

Nigeria banned organochlorine pesticides in 2008, yet lab tests still detect them in farm soils and crops, and farmers say the chemicals are sold locally.
Researchers warn misuse without protective gear is harming health and urge shifts to IPM, agroecology and climate-resilient farming.
Neben der Abbildung ›Anemone‹ und handschriftlichen Beschreibungen aus Rosa Luxemburgs ›Herbarium‹ ist ein aufgerastertes Porträt von ihr zu sehen. Dazu der von uns publizierte Bildband »Rosa Luxemburg – Herbarium«.
Ursprünglich wollte sie ja Botanik studieren: #RosaLuxemburg. Die Liebe zur Natur gab ihr immer Kraft, auch in den Jahren ihrer Haft. Ab 1913–1918 legte sie ein umfängliches Herbarium an und füllte 16 Hefte. Viel zu Entdecken für alle Naturfreund:innen: dietzberlin.de//herb...
“Food systems have been erased from these negotiations. Not by accident. Industrial agriculture holds extraordinary power over this process, and it shows. This is not failure. This is capture. And until we name it for what it is – until governments choose people over corporate interests – these negotiations will continue to betray the very communities they claim to serve.” Raj Patel, IPES-Food
#COP30 has ended without recognising industrial #FoodSystems as a major driver of the climate crisis. Food is left out of the final deal.

"My modest proposal would be an antifascist take on Nietzsche’s idea of becoming who one is: becoming what the far right imagines you to be, realizing their imaginary enemy."

Unless the government introduces PR, there will be a far right government in power in 2029. And like the compliant liberals they always were, the Labour party are building the administrative tools to help those fascists round you and your friends up for deportation. Frightening.
