There's a certain tendency that you see on the Left, you could call it ecomodernist, that sees industrial agriculture as good and necessary; we just need to democratize it or socialize it and take the reins. So they might see agroecology as backwards and even repeat Green Revolution talking points. What is wrong with that idea? And what do you say when you encounter people like that?
Well, I'm curious why the Sixth Extinction doesn't matter for communists. I think it should. It's entirely possible to have social control over that and still end up annihilating the planet if we don't recognize the importance of robust and diverse ecosystems. We still need to live in some sort of recognition that humans can't hive themselves off into cities and pretend that nature happens outside the city, and inside the city is some fantastically controlled biome over which humans have dominion. That's not the way that the planet or ecology works. We've got plenty of evidence now that suggests that the rise of inflammatory disease lies precisely in humans believing that we ought to just bleach our way out of anything and everything that we don't like. What we see as a result is the rise of certain kinds of diseases that are associated with a lack of biodiversity within our own microbiomes. I'm not seeing any plans for bioreactors that address or acknowledge in any way the vital importance of a robust microbiome.
If the charge is happening under the red flag, then it's important to recognize how much fucking communist and socialist activity is happening on the land. You don't get to be the person who champions bioreactors for the people, but at the same time waves away all the Marxist activity that's happening on, in, and around the land in the name of and by workers who are every bit as communist as the communists who have the “Nothing's too good for the working class” bumper stickers on their cars. A bit of solidarity would be nice to have from our comrades who are pushing this ecomodernist approach that seems to me functionally indistinguishable from what the capitalists are pushing.
Yeah, I totally agree with that. So an agroecological food system would require more human labor because you're replacing fossil fuel inputs and things like that, and that's often presented as a serious detriment because farm work can be very onerous, especially under our current system. But I don't know if that's necessarily a bad thing. People garden in our spare time, there's increasing interest in farming among young people, so I feel like people feel alienated from our ecology and where our food comes from. What do you think about the idea that we will need more people in agriculture, and the challenge and promise in that?
It's certainly the case that industrial agriculture has for centuries been trying to maximize profit. When workers push back against that, then capitalists replace labor with machines, with chemistry, and with a range of technologies that seek both to steal from the worker and from a range of knowledge producers’ ideas about how to farm, but without ever paying for that. And to steal from future generations the possibility of a viable planet, but to do it in a way that maximizes profit by essentially kicking workers off the land.
Now after centuries of having successfully gotten rid of workers, we find ourselves needing an agriculture that brings them back again. This is used as an argument against agroecology, and I get where that's coming from. But, as you say, some of the benefits accrue directly to the workers whose bodies are rendered more resilient and more diverse through their connections with a vibrant ecosystem and through the dirt under their fingernails. We've got lots of data to suggest that folk who grow up and work on farms that are rich in agroecological practices have less in the way of inflammatory diseases than those who are either not exposed to soil or are exposed to the industrial chemicals that are part of the modern food system.
I think it's okay to say, “Yes, there will be a need for more labor in food systems,” and then also to say, “And that's why we need to pay workers better up and down the food system so that we recognize the vital value of knowledge that's brought to agriculture.” Because at the moment, the cheap farm labor in the United States is usually migrant farm labor, and that farm labor has been trained in farmwork over decades and generations. There's a lot of expertise that is required even for industrial agriculture, and that's usually coming from farmers and farmworkers who've been working the land for generations south of the border. Is it right that we should be paying for that? Absolutely. A potential dividend of a shift towards agroecology is a recognition not only of the imperial character of American farming even today and the need to engage in reparations for the destruction of agriculture south of the border, but also a recognition of the deep knowledge and work that is required to make agriculture possible. So is it going to be more expensive? Yes, and it should be because cheap food has been bought at the expense of the planet and of workers for far too long.

Inflamed: Deep Medicine and the Anatomy of Injustice (ENCORE)
  Inflammatory diseases are on the rise around the world, and doctors are finally starting to pay more attention to them. But why does a beneficial part of our immune system turn unhealthy? Raj Patel and Rupa Marya think it has a lot to do with the world we’re forced to live in.  They talk about the collapse of our planet and what it has to do with inflammation, and how our bodies are a mirror of…

Existential connection between capitalism and entropy
According to Raj Patel and Jason W Moore, in his treatise ‘Das Kapital’ Karl Marx defined capitalism as combining labour power, machines and raw materials to produce commodities that are sold for profit which is re-invested in yet more labour power, machines and raw materials.  In other words, capitalism involves processes that produce profit from an economic perspective, and from a thermodynamic…

The Day Site Director Ramirez Faced Unforeseen Challenges
It was a typical day at the Facility, with researchers bustling around the various labs and containment chambers. Dr. Patel was overseeing a team of scientists as they studied uSCP-5823, the sentient suit of armor, trying to determine the extent of its intelligence and whether it posed a threat to Foundation personnel.
Meanwhile, Agent Davis was monitoring uSCP-3467, the plant-like creature that emitted toxic gas. Recent testing had revealed the existence of an antidote, and she was overseeing the development of a more effective and efficient version.
Down the hall, Dr. Chen was overseeing the containment of uSCP-8776, the time looping chamber. The SCP had been causing some concern among personnel, as some had reported experiencing time loops outside of the chamber. Dr. Chen was working to determine the extent of the SCP's effects and to find a way to mitigate its potential impact on personnel.
In another part of the facility, Agent Rodriguez was overseeing the study of uSCP-5698, a mysterious object that had been recovered from a remote archaeological site. The object appeared to emit a low-level electromagnetic field that disrupted electronic devices and caused unusual sensations in nearby humans. The team was attempting to decipher the object's purpose and origin.
As the day wore on, each team reported progress in their research. Dr. Patel's team had discovered that uSCP-5823 was capable of limited communication and seemed to have a sense of self-preservation. Agent Davis's team had successfully developed an antidote for uSCP-3467's toxic gas that was more effective than the previous version. Dr. Chen's team had determined that uSCP-8776's effects were not permanent and could be reversed with treatment. Agent Rodriguez's team had made progress in deciphering the purpose of uSCP-5698 and had identified several potential applications for the object's unique properties.
As the day came to a close, the various teams reported their findings to Site Director Ramirez. Despite the challenges posed by these unpredictable and dangerous SCPs, the research teams remained committed to understanding them and finding ways to minimize their impact on Foundation personnel and the wider world.

May Maa Khodiyar bless you with all the happiness, love and success on this Khodiyar Jayanti. – Happy Khodiyar Jayanti! माँ खोदियार की कथा लगभग 700 ईस्वी सन् की है। भावनगर जिले के रोइशला गांव में ममदिया गढ़वी (ममदजी चरण) नाम का एक व्यक्ति रहता था। तत्कालीन शासक महाराज शीलभद्र के साथ उनके अच्छे संबंध थे। शासक के मंत्रियों ने इस असाधारण रिश्ते से ईर्ष्या की और ममड़िया से छुटकारा पाने की योजना बनाई। वे राजा को मनाने में बहुत सफल नहीं हुए, लेकिन वे उसकी रानी को मनाने में सफल रहे। एक दिन द्वारपालों ने ममड़िया को महल में नहीं जाने दिया। जब ममड़िया ने कारण पूछा तो उन्हें बताया गया कि निःसंतान व्यक्ति राजा की उपस्थिति के योग्य नहीं है। ममड़िया घर लौट आए और भगवान शिव से संतान के लिए प्रार्थना की और अपने जीवन का बलिदान करके "कमल पूजा" करने का फैसला किया। जैसे ही वह खुद को मारने वाला था, शिव प्रकट हुए और उन्हें नागों के राजा - नागदेव को देखने के लिए नागलोक - नागलोक में ले गए । उसकी कहानी सुनने के बाद, नागदेव की सबसे छोटी बेटी और उसके सात भाई-बहनों ने मदद करने का फैसला किया। सबसे छोटी बेटी ने उसे आठ बच्चों के लिए आठ पालने बनाने की सलाह दी। बाद में शिव और नागदेव के वरदान के कारण, उन्हें सात बेटियों (एक जनबाई उर्फ ​​खोडियार) और एक पुत्र का आशीर्वाद मिला। बच्चों को भयानक योद्धाओं के रूप में पाला गया और हमेशा अपने मूल स्थान नागलोक की याद में काले कपड़े पहने। इसलिए, उन्हें कोबरा बहनों या नागनेची के रूप में नाम दिया गया , जो तत्कालीन मारवाड़ राज्य के शाही घराने के संरक्षक देवता भी थे। जनबाई ने अपने भाई की जान बचाई, जो पानी के नीचे नागलोक की यात्रा करके एक जहरीले सांप के काटने से मरने वाला था, और उसके साथ अमृत (जीवन का अमृत) के साथ लौट आई। जनबाई के पैर में चोट लग गई और वह ठीक से चल नहीं पा रही थी, इसलिए वह एक मगरमच्छ पर सवार होकर वापस सतह पर आ गई, जिससे उसे दैवीय स्थिति प्राप्त हुई। वह खोदी (लंगड़ाते हुए) शब्द से खोडियार के रूप में जानी जाती थी और मगरमच्छ ने उसे ऊपर उठाना शुरू कर दिया । #khodal #khodiyar #maa #khodaldham #kagvad #patel #jay #rajkot #surat #gujarat #raj #patidar #india #khodiyarmaa #junagadh #ahemdabad #amreli #kathiyawadi #kagvaddham #baroda #jamnagar #mahesana #leuvapatidar #kutch #kanbi #saurashtra #mogal #leuva #khodalmaa #patlani (at Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn-9eh3ppZU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
