There was no genocide. If you want a decent source on Libya I've seen Everyday Politics in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya by Matteo Capasso recommended. But I've yet to read it, it's still on my backlog.

The Deprogram guys have a channel called First Thought. Don't know if they're still continuing that project or if that's what you're looking for.

Yes! Thank you, I've been looking for it for a while!

Does anyone have the really long Twitter thread on Yemen? I think it started from 20th century all the way to present day and posted by either Aldanmarki or Aryjeay. I remember it being posted on the news mega around the beginning of the war.

Ali Kadri has written about these concepts too in works such as The Accumulation of Waste - A Political Economy of Systemic Destruction.

 

I've seem his ideas mentioned frequently, so curious as to what a good starting point is.

I think duendes are real and do a little bit of trolling and mischief.

On the topic of ecology, A People's Green New Deal by Max Ajl is quite good but I remember him being critical of Andreas Malm. And on nationalism James M. Blaut's The national question: decolonizing the theory of nationalism is also quite good. On Soviet ethnography there's Soviet but Not Russian and When The North was Red: Aboriginal Education in Soviet Siberia, but I've only read a bit of the former. Those are the books off the top of my head and the list is already huge.
