Theres something hilarious about all the conservatives who preach the importance of community and tough minded self-sacrifice replying to this by reminding everyone they don't give a shit.

4/4 Some Liberals are also Socialists (as J.S. Mill was in his old age) believing that cruelty & despotic politics could not be conquered without a wide dispersal of wealth, property, & power. This latter tradition includes yours truly, @mattpolprof.bsky.social, Carlo Rosselli, & James Meade. 🔶️🌻

For tomorrow's GTAA episode, I'l be chatting with @mattpolprof.bsky.social about the new book of essays Matt and I co-edited ("Analytical Marxism and Democratic Socialism in the 21st Century: Revisiting G.A. Cohen"), out today! Starts at 1 PM East Coast/10 AM West Coast:

"...The criterion most frequently used to distinguish between the left and the right is the attitude of real people in society to the ideal of equality." Norberto Bobbio, Left and Right

They’re going to call you a socialist regardless. So be a socialist.

"A socialist is just someone who is unable to get over his or her astonishment that most people who have lived and died have spent lives of wretched, fruitless, and unnecessary suffering." Terry Eagleton

Yep. "The young radicals of 2016 are now members of their parent teacher associations, but they are still just as radical." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Last night was another victory for long overdue common sense in the country. There's a long way to go but its a relief to finally have some reason for optimism.

I like how every time someone posts a link to an article diving into the ideology of some weird guy or group of weird guys on the far-right, there's like a 30% chance it was written by @mattpolprof.bsky.social.

Out soon with @repeaterbooks.bsky.social www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/826323...

I’m not DSA type at all. But I really appreciate this pragmatic and constructive argument from my colleague @paulcrider.liberalcurrents.com

I’m a liberal socialist :)

my time is here

Very good stuff

"Liberal socialist" is a label I'm increasingly identifying with. Can't wait to read this piece.

"As the Cold War recedes ever further into the rearview mirror, the identification of socialism with illiberalism becomes more and more anachronistic." www.liberalcurrents.com/what-is-libe...

"You vote and vote and vote—blue no matter who, because you know the alternative is fascism. But you see a gerontocratic and cowardly Democratic leadership missing the point and proving themselves entirely unequal to the existential crisis confronting us all." www.liberalcurrents.com/what-is-libe...

Good piece by @paulcrider.liberalcurrents.com in @liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/what-is-libe...

Piece for @thebulwark.com hit a nerve I see

Heading to NYC. Tommorow!
