Extremely interesting look at Hyperpolitics as a story of the structure of political experience and what that means for our current era of politics

Anton Jäger’s Hyperpolitics traces collapsing institutions and online polarization.. Liam Egan argues that its account of political experience is sharp, but reviving “mass politics” is impossible. It shows the world that new politics must be built within. READ: www.geesemag.com/articles/hyp...

Masculinity is in crisis, and the far right has taken advantage. But Mara Luise Guenzel argues that any attempt to “rescue” masculinity is doomed to reproduce patriarchy—even under a new coat of progressive paint. The only solution? Desertion. READ: www.geesemag.com/articles/the...

Fox News claims Hasan Piker and others may face subpoenas after delivering aid to Cuba. In his latest, Matt Hunter argues this is part of a new COINTELPRO targeting Palestinian solidarity, anti-ICE organizing, and the Left. Why? To stop us from fighting back. READ: www.geesemag.com/articles/has...

Boots Riley is at it again. www.geesemag.com/articles/a-r...

Musk's grid of control:cybernetic col under private command, preserving hierarchy, extracting attention and data, reprogramming the state. Vs the subaltern grid of solidarity: the distributed intelligence of the movements, beginning to cohere into political form, reaching for the capacity to govern.

Let a Hundred Cybersyns Bloom (though one suspects Subaltern Cybernetics would have make peace with Soviet-style Muskism Bidenomics or some such thing / cajoling Asian hardware manufacturers to friendshore ("vertical integration"))

Fascinating review of Muskism from Nik at Geese, my favorite new magazine. Nik makes an affirmative case for the "woke mind virus" as an "oppositional collective intelligence" coordinated through network technologies www.geesemag.com/articles/the...

"Once the regime is defeated and the immediate threat has receded, the entropy of victory, as Mike Duncan calls it, will set in, and the popular front will fracture...leaving an opportunity for the articulation of a truly Communist politics." @mikeduncan.bsky.social mentioned!

The coup is coming. Revisiting the failures of 2021, T.E. Moon argues the next January 6th will not be a chaotic riot, but an institutional steal. The Left cannot protect institutions weaponized against us. Audacity, more audacity, and always audacity. READ: www.geesemag.com/articles/for...

Ahead of the release of Boots Riley’s new film, I Love Boosters, Matt Hunter makes a foray into class in cinema. Art, and film in particular, is a microcosm of broader social conflict: terrain the ruling class fights to dominate. Are we willing to fight back? READ: www.geesemag.com/articles/a-r...

This is good. www.geesemag.com/articles/aoc...

I wrote about procedurals, conspiracies, and social murder, and how sometimes a search for answers disguises the 'normal' violence of class rule: www.geesemag.com/articles/bol...

"Russians did not overthrow the Tsar because they thought that the pros of socialism outweighed the cons, but because the communist movement in Russia was able to capture the political energy of the Russian people and express it in practical terms."

Agree, this is a vital point. www.geesemag.com/articles/zoh...

"Men make their own history," Marx wrote in the Eighteenth Brumaire, "but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past." www.geesemag.com/articles/we-...

"A viable alternative vision of masculinity does not have to define itself based on misogyny, male supremacy, or any implication thereof... a reconciled masculinity must be defined as inherently oppositional to the trending right-wing version." www.geesemag.com/articles/the...

"Zohran Mamdani has gained a lot from ‘playing ball’ with the Black political establishment in New York. But if he wants to achieve his agenda in the long-term, he must turn to the Black socialist insurgents." article by Terah E., NYC-DSA www.geesemag.com/articles/zoh...

Ceding history to the right. Flinching at “patriotism.” The socialist left has struggled with the national myth for a century. In Amiyah's debut, the 1930s CPUSA is revisited to critique Browder’s “Americanism” and recover working-class patriotism. READ: www.geesemag.com/articles/tow...

In a new postscript for Geese Magazine, Ewan Ben argues that socialist organization cannot be declared into existence by will alone, but must be patiently built through struggle, experimentation, and engagement with the working class as it actually exists. READ: www.geesemag.com/articles/the...

Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s early wins came by courting NYC’s Black establishment. But Terah E. argues that protecting old-guard incumbents over Black DSA insurgents risks fracturing his working-class coalition. There is no socialism without Black socialists. READ: www.geesemag.com/articles/zoh...

"FRAUD" IS A FRAUD. Voter fraud. Immigration fraud. Financial fraud. Turn on any screen, and the conservative obsession with "fraud" is inescapable. Sam Steen breaks down how the Right uses this catchall boogeyman to manufacture consent for their project. READ: www.geesemag.com/articles/fra...

Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff’s newly released Muskism traces the biography and ideology of Elon Musk, the man currently reshaping the digital world. www.geesemag.com/articles/the...

J. Ryder and P.K. Gandakin write on how the CPUSA’s “Communist Plus” earnestly attempts to resolve this—but ends up reproducing the very limits it seeks to overcome. www.geesemag.com/articles/wha...

that’s right

Very happy to announce that my first ever published writing has gone up in @geesemag.bsky.social! In it I discuss the Janeese Lewis George Campaign and the years of organizing by @mdcdsa.org that led to this moment: www.geesemag.com/articles/not...

An article worth circling back to: Nik M. on the 2024 election, Keynes's "animal spirits," and the technocratic instinct that treats voters as neutral receptors of macroeconomic data. The right understood ideology was inseparable from economics. The left still mostly doesn't.

Ken B. examines what led Metro DC DSA to its eventual campaign supporting Janeese Lewis George for Mayor. Janeese’s campaign is, for the chapter, both the culmination of years of local organizing—and a major next step for the socialist electoral project. www.geesemag.com/articles/not...

Marx refused to describe communism. P. K. Gandakin on why that refusal keeps getting misread — by utopians as a failure of nerve, by objectivists as doctrinal fidelity — and why both readings kill the real movement.

On this day in 1937, Antonio Gramsci passed away due to mistreatment in Mussolini's prison. He was put there as a political prisoner; his prosecutor pleading to the judge: "We must stop this brain from functioning for 20 years." Gramsci's example is a shining beacon for modern

Julius Malema’s treatment exposes the Western left’s discomfort with populist leadership. That discomfort limits its ability to engage in effective mass politics. www.geesemag.com/articles/the...

A gunman at the Hilton, a war in Iran, a casual remark about "taking Cuba." Trump's empire is improvising. J. Ryder on the fracture inside MAGA — and why the language of anti-war dissent is being claimed by Tucker and Fuentes while the left watches. www.geesemag.com/articles/war...

Netanyahu got cancer, treated it, and hid it for two months for war propaganda reasons. The Western left can't organize a coherent response to his genocide. Last year, Malekai (@Malekai4748) wrote about the two dead ends the movement keeps walking into.

From rally-side interviews to the launch of the “American Communist Party,” Gigi G. explores the arc of a tendency that chased the MAGA base, mistook engagement for organization, and built a “party” that never transcended the internet. www.geesemag.com/articles/an-...

In Project 2026, written just before Mayor Mamdani’s inauguration, P.K. Gandakin and Nik M. elaborate a program of mayoralty that emphasizes conflict and utilizes the position to its maximum effect to consolidate socialism’s position in New York City. www.geesemag.com/zohran-mamda...

Capital, Human Nature and “The End of History”

After AOC’s shift on her public stance on sending aid to Israel’s Iron Dome, every side took credit for the change. But what really causes DSA electeds to change their minds? www.geesemag.com/articles/wha...

In his latest, P. K. Gandakin draws out a method from the Italian's notes on urbanism and the Risorgimento: one that treats Marxism not as a thin doctrine of interests, but as a way of understanding and solving the problems of an entire society. www.geesemag.com/articles/rea...

The No Kings protests point toward a democratic break with oligarchy, but the existing political system cannot contain it. Nik M. argues that what comes next depends on whether that energy is organized and given leadership or whether it is lost. www.geesemag.com/articles/wha...

AOC 2028: The Next Stage of the Democratic Revolution? READ: geesemag.com/articles/aoc... Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the 1st politician in a generation with a chance to turn left insurgency into a national project. Nik M. argues that 2028 isn’t a guaranteed victory nor failure—but an opportunity.

this is about the opportunity that AOC's inevitable run represents *for DSA*. we can either be among the first people to believe in her, to pledge our support and resources and organizational knowledge to the left-most candidate that has ever run. or we can pass it up, waiting in vain for perfection
