I started a Substack! For now, it's housing some of my recent writing and presentations. But soon I'll be writing some new articles for the page. Subscribe if you like! My introductory post, explaining what I intend to do with the space, is linked in the post below this one.

‘capital…is too necessary to us that we cannot allow it to fail… [A] revolutionary overthrow of this capitalist economic system is not anything that’s conceivable at the present time. It will not happen, … and we have to make sure that it does not happen’ (David Harvey).

Marx begins Capital Vol. 1 with a vision of a new society of associated producers (socialism) and ends it with the agenda of the expropriation of the expropriators. Yet many Marxists today (e.g. David Harvey) know a great deal about Marx and still oppose the idea of revolution.

Happy to have agreed to write a new book with @VersoBooks. My very talented mate Vlad Bortun & I will be writing an analysis of @reformparty_uk as a political movement. We’ll explore their social base, funders, rhetoric, policies & lots more. Due in late 2027

Alcázar.
Alcázar.@AlcazarViala·
Nolan est bloqué dans The Dark Knight depuis presque 20 ans. Ni Apollon ni Dionysos à l'image, c'est un culte d'Hadès, tout est mort. Le grandiose de la Grèce archaïque, c'est sa vitalité solaire, amorale, légère et pourtant tragique. Pas étonnant qu'une civilisation sénile comme la nôtre produise une réinterprétation digne d'un documentaire sur les EHPAD.

The new trailer for Christopher Nolan's ‘THE ODYSSEY’ has been released. In theaters on July 17.

@LetovCCRU That would be great if it’s possible, but of course no worries if not. I’m tied up and can’t listen live but would love to later on

The most notable thing about Cole Allen Thomas (and other recent would-be assassins) is that their political project is divorced from any larger project of mass social change. He reflects the collapse of grand narratives. My essay. unherd.com/2026/04/cole-t…

@souljagoyteller I’m a Marxist so I’m obviously not impartial but I honestly think part of that is that the other variants of socialism were really not fit for purpose in the age of industrial capitalism. Their theories seemed quaint by like the 1840s, totally of a bygone age

Really interesting how much Marxism subsumed all other variants of socialism, even by the 1910s. Non-Marxian socialism either died, became liberals, or became fascists

@aaririon thanks so much of this commentariat style where every EE election is about Putin mirror of tankies saying Iranian politics must be about fighting Israel
