"So many important connections to be made to today. helpful to be reading an actual BOOK from 25 years ago that reaffirms the ongoing political education masses are engaging with now, live action, re the media and the “west”. I like how the focus on a region is consistently grounded in international events — can’t see them in isolation from one another" — Nov 02, 2025 10:23PM

“The people come to understand that wealth is not the fruit of labour but the result of organised, protected robbery. Rich people are no longer respectable people; they are nothing more than flesh eating animals, jackals and vultures which wallow in the people's blood.”

“The exchange between plants and people has shaped the evolutionary history of both. Farms, orchards, and vineyards are stocked with species we have domesticated. Our appetite for their fruits leads us to till, prune, irrigate, fertilize, and weed on their behalf. Perhaps they have domesticated us. Wild plants have changed to stand in well-behaved rows and wild humans have changed to settle alongside the fields and care for the plants—a kind of mutual taming.”
