Guter Text. Der stumpfe Anti-Imperialismus vieler Linker auch und gerade hier in Deutschland, der meist einfach nur antiwestlicher Campismus ist, stellt in meinen Augen einen üblen Verrat an Klassenkampf und internationaler Solidarität dar. Aber darin sind autoritäre Linke ja geübt.

“[O]ne must be very careful with the concept of autonomous art; it’s a lesser evil in a radically false world, and its truth content is falsified if it is taken to be true in itself. Art should not be confused with the light of utopia that once fell on it” curedquail.com/Enemies-of-A...

Forgot to plug this one since I was sick

Episode 6 | Introduction to the History of Left Communism -- Critique of the Podcast Form by @crittheoryworkgrp.bsky.social -- “Introduction to the history of left-communism, specifically the German/Dutch (councilist), Italian (Bordigist) and French (ultraleft) traditions.”

‘We here at the Institute never bother filling out those surveys — we just want to get out of work as soon as possible. That’s why we prefer Adorno to leftist chatter.’

spotted in NYC:

“The mythological idea of fate becomes no less mythical when it is demythologised ‘into a secular “logic of things”’ that on the pain of ruin judges the actions of the actual individuals by means of competing price signals’ (Adorno). Fate is a category of a ghostlike society.” | Bonefeld

“The Left has taken the basic presuppositions of the capitalist mode of production as givens — namely the separation of proletarians from the means of their own reproduction [...] the existence of ‘the economy’ as a sphere separate from life-activity, the separation of the political from the social”

Adorno-Horkheimer didn’t get a copy of Benjamin’s “Theses” until mid-1941. Reading it they discovered not only remarkable coincidences with their most recent work but differences they couldn’t help but want to fight him over, hours without end, at a Parisian café open.substack.com/pub/jamescra...

you might wonder: what were Horkheimer-Adorno’s politics in 1941? well: the universal self-enlightening of runaway enlightenment, aka communism

Up for chapter 1 of my summary of Kevin Anderson’s The Late Marx’s Revolutionary Roads. On precapitalist, communial social formations and their history among native Americans, ancients Greeks, Germans and Romans, Russians, precolonial Algerians, and the Irish. 1/7

Just finished Kevin Anderson’s new book on colonialism, gender, and non-Western postcapitalism from @versobooks.bsky.social. It’s great! I used to do book summaries on Twitter, but Bluesky doesn’t seem to encourage that stuff. Would there be interest in a chapter-by-chapter breakdown of the book?

Save the date: I am very excited to be part of this roundtable with some amazing colleagues — on February 16 at HU Berlin, Matteo Pasquinelli, @annanosthoff.bsky.social, @rainermuehlhoff.bsky.social and yours truly will discuss our perspectives on the «Critique of AI», moderated by Jacob Blumenfeld

great review by @jvroessler.bsky.social www.historicalmaterialism.org/council-comm...

“Strange though it may sound I do not hesitate to say that the new development of Marxist thought which these people represent evolved as the theoretical and ideological superstructure of the revolution that never happened.” – A.S.R. thecharnelhouse.org/2014/11/06/t...
