the thing thats cool about feudalism is that despite every agricultural nation with a warrior aristocracy being fairly similar, theres always lots of different ways it was actually handled between nations, or even between specific ruling monarchs.

To what extent feudalism ever existed, and how homo/heterogenous it was, is an active issue in medieval historiography.

Red/Blue/Green Earth trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson is about how Mars is colonised and terraformed by earth/megacorps and the inevitable peoples revolt. Jameson writes about it in Archeologies of the Future which might be interesting.

its not even a people's revolt though. its just that the raw materials of the solar system + the anti-aging treatment developed by the original astronauts + all the robotic manufacturing means capitalism is just a ruder way of organizing all the endless resources. the only people you could even consider proles are the ones on earth that cant afford a ticket on the space elevator

Ah I maybe you're right. I mostly remember the endless descriptions of the Martian terrain, and the workers in various Martian cities organising councils and forming a faction after the Russian dude from the first book.

What do I google to learn more about this, Gramsci?

I was prompted in the same direction by the SI and especially T. J. Clark's Heaven on Earth: Painting and the Life to Come. From the publisher:

quote:

In this latest work, respected art historian T. J. Clark sets out to investigate the different ways painting has depicted the dream of God’s kingdom come: heaven descended to earth. He goes back to the late Middle Ages and Renaissance—to Giotto in Padua, Bruegel facing the horrors of religious war, Poussin painting the Sacraments, and Veronese unfolding the human comedy, in particular his inscrutable Allegory of Love. Was it ultimately to painting’s advantage that in an age of orthodoxy and enforced censorship (threats of hellfire, burnings at the stake) artists found ways reflect on the powers and limitations of religion without putting their thoughts into words? In conclusion Clark brings us into the Nuclear Age with Picasso’s Fall of Icarus, made for UNESCO in 1958, which already seems to signal, or even prescribe, an age when all futures are dead.

is there good literature on Sankara?

Sankara scholarship is very limited, and often never translated from French.

Thomas Sankara : An African Revolutionary is a good overview by an American socialist journalist who was covering Burkina Faso at the time of Sankara's rule. Thomas Sankara Speaks: The Burkina Faso Revolution, is a collection of Sankara's speeches.

If you want to watch a video, "The Upright Man" documentary on youtube is as good an introduction as any.

The statistics for Bolivia tally with a startling trend associated with populist leaders, particularly in Latin America. Their time in government is correlated with significant declines in economic inequality, according to new research by political scientists.
[...]
The association between populist leaders and a decline in economic inequality holds true for a slew of Latin American leaders, mostly on the left, who use populist rhetoric in their speeches.

They include ex-leaders such as Peru’s Alan García, El Salvador’s Antonio Saca, Ecuador’s Rafael Correa and Venezuela’s Hugo Chávez.
[...]
However, it was the link between populism and the shrinking gap between rich and poor that was most striking. And the drop in inequality under Morales was sharper than most.
[...]
David Doyle, an associate professor at the University of Oxford, says the correlation was difficult to explain and cautioned against drawing concrete conclusions.
