The use of "imperial force undermines the hegemonic power economically and politically, and is widely perceived as a sign not of strength but of weakness, first externally then internally.

I need some help identifying the book where these came from. The illustrations are pretty sweet! EDIT: it's "The Martial Arts of Medieval Europe by Ryuta Osada" 中世ヨーロッパの武術 (by 長田 龍太) https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/%E9%95%B7%E7%94%B0-%E9%BE%8D%E5%A4%AA/e/B08JVK5R9W/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1

El capitalismo no es un destino, sino una construcción histórica. No emerge de una necesidad interna, sino de un entramado de fuerzas y dependencias que han moldeado el mundo en el tiempo largo. En este ensayo, Immanuel Wallerstein lo piensa no solo como un sistema económico, sino como una arquitectura global del poder.

Desde la dialéctica entre centro y periferia hasta la erosión del Estado-nación, El capitalismo histórico desborda los márgenes de la economía política para situarnos en una historia materialista del presente. Breve en extensión, pero ineludible en su profundidad crítica. archivo y lectura en archive.org descárgalo gratis en pdf ig @/begoniamartz

We are face to face with uncertainty. It is all very well for Ilya Prigogine to tell us that uncertainty is the central reality of the universe, and not merely of our present historical situation. We still do not like it, and we find it very hard to handle—psychologically and politically. And yet we must. We must turn to our intellectual, moral, and hence political duties in an age of transition. The first in line is the search for lucidity about where we are. Rosa Luxemburg said already at the beginning of the twentieth century that “the most revolutionary thing one can do is always to proclaim loudly what is happening.”

“And the takedown of the year goes to: Chilean protester vs riot cop 🤼”

Here’s a full video, the comrade here manages to tackle the same cup again as another approaches and then make a gateway.

“ it resembles Folio 21r of the Codex Wallerstein”

Here’s a version from Meyer mentioned in the comments of the post above.

Close up on the takedown itself:

From the comments: “ “  Casting 1.62v.3 􀂾 When an opponent has run under you with his sword, so that you two come very near together, then throw your sword back away from you, bend rapidly down before him, and grip his legs with both hands. Pull toward you; thus he will fall on his back. Concerning this see the small figures on the upper left in Image D." page 108 of the Forgeng translation  “ That translation seems to be out of print but another is on the way. And here’s a few other options in the meantime.

Another analysis of the situation, but to be noted that setting this up improperly can lead to getting caught in a guillotine choke.

A similar post on the topic here.

A post with a video on specific historical wrestling techniques here.

And here’s another old post about some Meyer wrestling.

There’s also a great article on wrestling in Meyer written by Keith Cotter-Reilly one of the best on the subject. Here’s a recent post about it. It talks of this technique as well. And here’s a post about a video with the techniques mentioned in the article.

Another video on some double leg takedowns present in historical combat.

It is simply not true that capitalism as a historical system has represented progress over the various previous historical systems that it destroyed or transformed. Even as I write this, I feel the tremour that accompanies the sense of blasphemy. I fear the wrath of the gods, for I have been moulded in the same ideological forge as all my compeers and have worshipped at the same shrines.
