"These kinds of highfalutin intellectual arguments from the 18th century might seem far removed from the present day. But they reflect the efforts of the most farsighted and intelligent right-wing thinkers to repackage #hierarchy and #subordination for a popular age." liberalcurrents.com/the-origin

The Identity Politics of Masculinity as a Colonial Legacy

"The #PreColonial #Indonesian notion of personhood diverges from a western conceptualisation and is expressed instead through #cooperation, #mutuality, #sharing, #caring, and a readiness to #negotiate and #compromise – all of which are characteristics that are associated with feminine qualities and were thus considered inferior according to #Eurocentric understandings of the #subordination of women in #WesternSociety"

"[In this paper] I argue that a hierarchical structure between masculine and the feminine was introduced by the #Dutch #colonisers – a structure in which they considered themselves to represent the superior, masculine side of the binary, whereas the colonised were seen as their effeminate subjects."

Georgians take to streets in protest as pro-Russian party crowned election winner amid wide-scale #fraud

International observers, opposition politicians, and the country’s president all cried foul, alleging widespread #ElectoralFraud

“These elections cannot be recognized. This is the same as recognizing Georgia’s #subordination to #Russia. … No one can take away Georgia’s #European future,” she said

"La classe moyenne salariée se définit par le fait qu’elle est destinataire d’une partie de cette plus-value sous la forme du sursalaire. Le capital consent à ce supplément de salaire pour payer l’encadrement de la production et de la circulation de la valeur et s’assurer du zèle et de la fidélité de la classe moyenne salariée. Le fait d’être définie par sa fonctionnalité et la spécificité de ses revenus constitue la classe moyenne salariée en classe proprement dite. Il y a le prolétariat, défini par son statut de sans réserves, les capitalistes, détenteurs des moyens de production, et la classe moyenne salariée, caractérisée en même temps par son travail (intellectuel) et par la fonction d’encadrement qu’elle exerce par délégation des capitalistes. Cette classe défend normalement ses intérêts dans ses rapports avec les autres classes. Nous voici confrontés au ménage à trois de la lutte des classes, par opposition au schéma à deux classes (l’affrontement prolétariat/capital) qui prévaut depuis longtemps."

~ extrait de "Le ménage à trois de la lutte des classes" par Bruno Astarian et Robert Ferro (2019)

Nos firmes et administrations sont dominées par une clique de personnes qui, parce qu’elles sont intéressées symboliquement, “se donnent à 100 %” et attendent des autres qu’elles en fassent de même.

On peut parler d'une classe sociale chargée de l’organisation du travail :
“Le capital choisit une équipe de management pour le représenter sur place [dans les firmes] ; équipe qui, le représentant, supervise et organise le travail de la classe laborieuse”.
(Harry Braverman, États-Unis, 1974, p. 405)

Pour Braverman, celleux qui comptent vraiment, dans cette équipe, sont celleux dont les fonctions dirigeantes leur offrent “une _part du surplus_ produit par la firme, et donc destinée à les attacher au succès et aux échecs de la firme et à leur donner une part des intérêts de gestion, même si elle est maigre”.

TechHubEstelle Platini (@estelle@techhub.social)Our corporations and administrations are dominated by a clique of people who, because they are symbolically interested, "give 100%" and expect others to do the same. We can speak of a social class in charge of organizing work: "Capital chooses a management team to represent it on the spot [in the corporations. Executives are meant] to supervise and organize the labors of the working population" (Harry Braverman USA, 1974, p. 405) For Braverman, the people who really count in this team are those whose managerial positions offer them "a _share in the surplus_ produced in the corporation, and thus is intended to attach them to the success or failure of the corporation and give them a ‘management stake’, even if a small one."

Noam Chomsky: It's very hard to recognize one's subordination to a system of power

youtube.com/watch?v=su9w_EO1t7

And therefore the responsibility of raising the challenge is typically in the hands of those who recognize that they have a subordinate status. It's very hard to recognize that. I mean, people lived, you know, for millennia without recognizing that they are being subordinated in systems of power…
