The Dinergoth article reveals more the severe absence of actual Leftist writing on culture and the working class today, cause the signs it’s describes don’t fit the vision of the traditional blue collar and ethnic working classes either

My belated memorial for William E. Connolly, a giant of Political Theory who deserves just as many retrospectives as Habermas and whose life serves as a better guide today for what political theorizing could still do: open.substack.com/pub/quinnleste…

@aestheticsof9 Good preparation for APSA. I do think I’ve somehow been reading a Dune book during every WPSA since 2022

1. The crisis of Marxism in the 60's was not brought about by some pesky french intellectuals (those meddling kids!) but by the actual crisis in actually existing communism. Communist states were deficient vis-à-vis their concept.

This is a sequel to my article on the genealogy of abolition democracy in Davis and Du Bois. I argue that Marcuse’s mentorship on Davis is much more important than most think, and offers resources in the idea of a non-repressive society for thinking about abolition democracy now

Melon should absolutely be diverting more grants to fundamental humanities research (Marxist historicism, structural linguistics, phenomenology)

@boring__you Excellent points. Also he represents, as a union nurse, the unionized service-oriented working class like teachers that was demonized in 2020
