Introduction: The End of Critique Is the Beginning of Alternatives Over the previous four installments, we completed the dissection of platform capitalism. Data is not a new raw material but a tool by which capital reshapes production relations (Part 1); delivery, care, and cloud workers are a new p...
Monopoly Is Not an Exception but a Tendency of Capitalism Free-market advocates view platform monopoly as a "deviation." The narrative goes that Kakao and Naver have grown too large, and the market has been distorted because regulation lagged behind. The prescription is equally simple: strengthen fa...

We examined why capitalism structurally produces ecological crisis (Part 1), that real socialism was not free from the productivist trap (Part 2), and what class limitations each of the two leftist alternatives, degrowth and the Gree...
The leftist response to the climate crisis is not singular. If there is one strategic debate today that generates the sharpest friction within the international progressive camp, it is the opposition between Degrowth and the Green New Deal. Both positions share a critique of capitalism's ecological...
Starting with the Most Uncomfortable Rebuttal When discussing ecosocialism, the first rebuttal encountered is a historical fact: The USSR was not capitalist, but its ecological destruction was no less severe than capitalism's. The Aral Sea dried up, Chernobyl exploded, Lake Baikal was polluted. To i...
Let Us Reframe the Question The mainstream of climate crisis discourse treats 'carbon' as a material to be managed. Raise carbon taxes, switch to renewable energy, change individual consumption behavior — that is the gist. The IPCC reports, Green New Deal packages, South Korea's '2050 Carbon Neutral...

Part 3 of the series 'Trump's Second Term and the Rise of the Global Right — A Leftist Interpretation.'

1968–1969: The Revival of Marxist State Theory After Lenin's The State and Revolution (1917), Marxist political science experienced half a century of stagnation.

Why Gramsci? — Theory Born from Defeat Antonio Gramsci's (1891–1937) theory emerged from the experience of defeat. The 1920 Turin factory occupation struggle failed, and in 1922 Mussolini seized power. In 1926, Gramsci was arrested, and a fascist court sentenced him to "prevent his brain from functi...

Why State Theory? Many people declare, "We will change politics." But few ask about the material foundation of that 'politics' they seek to change — that is, what the state is. Whether one sees the state as a "neutral arbiter representing the interests of the community" or as an "apparatus that orga...

Between Slogan and Reality The Lee Jae-myung government's labor policy headline is "Genuine Growth with Labor." Formalized as the Ministry of Employment and Labor's 2026 vision, this slogan sounds like a declaration to reject the existing formula of "growth first, distribution later." Ten months int...
On June 4, 2025, Lee Jae-myung took office as the 21st President of South Korea. The path to power was unprecedented.

The world's center of gravity is shifting. This is not merely a story of U.S. hegemony weakening.

But this reali...

Summary The conclusion of the previous report was simple. While the share of direct U.S. imports from China fell, the China-centric supply chain did not disappear; Vietnam emerged as a rerouting node. This follow-up report digs deeper into that hypothesis. The conclusion is sharper. Vietnam is not a...
Summary The core conclusion is simple. The share of direct U.S. imports from China has declined, but this has not led directly to a return of manufacturing to the United States.

The core is the wrapper layer that treats the model as a pool of labor and boosts actual productivity through input re‑expression, parallelization, selection, post‑processing, and interface design. In...

Chapter 1. The Geometry of Isolation Park Jae-hyeon's morning in his room always began with the same sounds. The toilet flushing upstairs, then the gurgling noise in the pipes, and finally the sound of a delivery motorcycle in the alley outside. The order never changed. Gyeongnam Villa, Eungam-dong,...
⚠️ Correction of Initial Edition Errors The reports prepared in previous tasks (#51–#53) presented gold prices as $3,080–$3,120, but that is the price range for early 2025.
