“An economy based on information, with its tendency to zero-cost products and weak property rights, cannot be a capitalist economy.”

PostCapitalism: A Guide to our Future (2015)

“For the big-mouthed racist right, theirs is a rebellion in favour of order. For them, as in the 1930s, all variations – of gender, race or sexuality – have to be interpreted as the strong versus the weak.
