🚨New article!🚨 Katherina Kinzel and I critically assess Alfred Sohn-Rethel's notion of real abstraction. Although we appreciate his materialist impulse, we argue that he ultimately ends up Kantianizing Marx rather than Marxianizing Kant. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Oxford has been around since 1096. Imagine tossing almost a thousand years of academic reputation into the garbage, setting it on fire, and then pissing it out over a useless fucking plagiarism machine what loses billions of dollars a year telling people to kill themselves.

this is part of a larger research project which will touch on more contemporary challenges. this article here is more a preliminary historical ground clearing. For more on my socialization research, check out my articles on Korsch, Weil, Marx and nature.

The aim of the article is simple: to illustrate the highly contested nature and irreducible diversity of meanings regarding the concept of “socialization” (as in socializing the means of production, etc) that were thrown around in the revolutionary situation of 1918-1921 Germany/Austria. It’s wild!
