The overarching focus of the book has been described as "the ways in which our experiences of gender, power, and control are bound up in the vast, multifaceted ideology of late capitalism and our lives are organized around satisfying, or disappointing, male desire."

what he does is go to the Bronx and engage with folks in one of the areas of the city that swung hardest toward Trump during the election. And he just starts asking people what they care about, why they voted that way. One of the most remarkable things about the video is, Mamdani doesn’t argue with anybody, he just listens, and then he asks them if their life would be better if their rent were frozen, if buses were free, if childcare were affordable. Perhaps most relevant to this point, he doesn’t shame them, even though they had very obviously made a devastatingly self-defeating choice. He gave them an affirmative alternative to move toward, and in doing so, empowered both those people and himself to do something better.

This is the kind of solution that most AI critics are not allowing for right now when they only picture a shame-based corrective to individual people’s use of AI. It is possible to build human-centric, empowering tools and platforms that are owned by the people instead of by billionaire tycoons, that are responsible about the environment and with people’s data and privacy, that are accountable to the communities that they serve. If we engaged every person who made some AI slop and said, “would you rather have tools that help you make something amazing, and brought you into a community of creators?” I don’t think anybody would say no.

Woolf’s molecular sensibility illustrates that sexuality is elemental, geological, meteorological, cross-species. It organizes entire territories of becoming by including non-human elements, like the quality of the light and the curve of the wind. Woolf creates heterogeneous assemblages of life lived more intensely. The spatio-temporal, geographical, historical and environmental features are a vector for collective non-human and more-than-human encounters. Sexuality constitutes the transversal plane of immanence that goes beyond individual psychologies and circumstances. Something much more elemental, more raw, is at stake: desire draws its own affective landscapes.
— Rosi Braidotti, Posthuman Feminism

They believed that new forms of mutual aid, cooperation, and association were needed to bring each functional unit of the modern industrial economy together in a mutually supportive web, and prevent the worst effects of the competitive division of labor and the poverty it produces.

Solidarity in Social and Political Philosophy article in Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy on writings from Robert Owen (1771–1858), Henri de Saint-Simon (1760–1825), and Charles Fourier (1772–1837)

I find it somewhat incredible that those criticisms of "the individualism and egoism fostered by market society" (Claeys 2011) existed already so long ago!
