Dear Brian, just a quick question on this argument:
What we are experiencing in the world right now is the simultaneous breakdown of the neoliberal world order, and the intensification of climate change. Both of these are occurring in societies with undiminished capacities for the production of wealth - but with radically diminished capacities for the expression of solidarity, whether through material redistribution or through cultural transformation in recognition of past harms.
Would you agree that commercial media outlets and considerably commercial social media are means to prohibit solidarity (in this case, for example, with peaceful minded people on both sides) and can thus be understood as means of capitalists in the class struggle? If so, adding the structure of the public sphere to the means to express solidarity would be good...
