The morning sun is already high and hot as we enter the grounds of San Giovanni Park, the former asylum in Italy’s north-eastern city Trieste, through Europe’s largest rose garden – 3000 varieties in mid to full bloom, hot-pinks and blood-reds, lemons, peaches and creams. ‘A multitude in place of economic and moral servitude’, our […] The post Trieste: Where Mad Minds Can Fly appeared first on Salvage.| Salvage

The Palestinian Marxist Ghassan Kanafani, in his famous study of the Great Arab Revolt of 1936–9, and its defeat, theorised the regional and international character of the Palestinian struggle through the alliance of enemies it faced. Reflecting on the Palestinian uprising under the British Mandate, he wrote ‘between 1936 and 1939, the Palestinian revolutionary movement suffered a severe setback at the hands of three separate enemies’. This tripartite enemy constituted and remained ‘t...| Salvage
Symbolically, affectively, and materially, the car is a ‘vehicle’ for the far right, channelling apolitical investments in the status quo into reactionary forms of anti-ecological politics. In this conjuncture, the car is a symbol of individual liberty, the nuclear family, and the ‘energy-secure’ nation. In a populist key, the car is ‘the people’.

Conservatives counterpose distant, alienated social forces against British ones.
