The only positive thing about Tony Blair potentially becoming viceroy of Gaza is that it significantly increases the chances that he’ll be shot.

great bedtime story!

Really looking forward to joining comrades at the 10th Danish Marxism conference! I’ll be presenting a paper making a historical critique of the cooperative form and arguing that if Danish agriculture is to move toward a sustainable future, its current cooperative structure must be dismantled.

Jeg har skrevet en lang og forhåbentlig ikke en alt for kedelig filosofisk tekst til Eftertryk Magasin om kapitalisme, kedelig trivsel, uopfyldte behov og overforbrugseskapisme.

Bævende af nervøsitet klikkede jeg på en overskrift om droner på DR, og ved I hvad? Det utrolige skete! DET VAR EN RIGTIG ARTIKEL OG IKKE EN LIVE-BLOG 😱😱😱😱😱

This is despite consistent obfuscation, banalization and both-sidesism by German media and politicians. But it's no surprise - a very large part of the population has long been indifferent or hostile to the political, cultural and media elite's unconditional support for Israel.

Does anyone know where to find reliable comparative crime statistics for different national contexts since the 1970s? I mean big picture kind of things, nothing too deep and complicated

Are you dying to know if Hegel hated ersatz coffee? Then boy do I have the piece for you. Very happy to be part of the JHI blog forum on political economy in intellectual history!

This gets to something that as a former stand-up I recognized but couldn’t name. A 31 year old professional content creator baiting 19 year old amateurs into the format of his choice isn’t debate, it’s crowd work. It’s debate-shaped crowd work farmed for content.

Vi er nødt til at tale om den enorme koncentration af ejerskab til landbrugsjorden, der er sket de sidste årtier. Er der nogen landmænd tilbage efter strukturudviklingen? Det spørger jeg om i det første af 3 indlæg hen over efteråret i Landbrugsavisen.

Does anyone know of anything interesting happening on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of The Wealth of Nations next year?

Jeg kan konstatere at BT tilsyneladende mener at det er acceptabelt at dræbe deres journalistiske kolleger, hvis de ikke bryder sig om deres dækning eller politiske holdninger. Jeg synes personligt det er vanvittigt at mine skattekroner via mediestøtten går til en så ekstremistisk publikation.

In a new article in @poppublicsphere.bsky.social I propose an institution reform to make representative government less oligarchic: having elected politicians held accountable by randomly selected "Constituency Juries"

Is the human being by nature good or evil? And what does this imply for a theory of post-revolutionary political institutions? Big questions and some tentative answers in my newly published article:

There is no adult in the room, no one in charge. Turns out a semi-rationalistic elite was, maximum, a 50 year conscious project that was abandoned and can't be taken as an "ideal type" for a ruling class under capitalism.

"Living in Gaza now requires a choreography of absence. We don’t walk; we drift. We don’t eat; we search. We don’t sleep; we remain alert, ears tuned to the sound that will send us running. Survival is a ritual of adaptation in a world that offers none" – Alaa Alqaisi www.e-flux.com/notes/678338...

Winning mass working class support for trans rights is absolutely possible. Broad sympathy for trans people was turned by a handful of major newspaper and magazine editors, nazis and a few fashy feminists. Most people care about bodily autonomy and letting others find their path. We can win
