Officially “well-known communists” according to apartheid boy’s racism machine 🙏

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:

now published: The Socialization Debate Revolutionary Confusion after the German Revolution of 1918 Graduate Faculty Philosophy Journal Volume 46, Issue 1, 2025, Pages 93-122 doi.org/10.5840/gfpj...

How does Radical Embodied Cognitive Science relate to Marxism? In a recent preprint, I discuss this question at length, drawing on work by @tonychemero.bsky.social, @sorenmau.bsky.social, @edbaggs.bsky.social and many others.

cover for me and @brunoleipold.com’s new album just dropped

What could a world after capitalism look like? This two-part article in the @NewLeftReview is the result of five years of research. I’ll be turning it into a book later this year, so I’d love to hear your comments and critiques. newleftreview.org/issues/ii153...

At HM Paris talking about Colonialism and mononormative sexuality and just living my best life with great comrades and bougie french cuisine 💅

now in material form

"Against vexingly persistent elitist and transhistorical conceptions of art as existing outside the material conditions of its production, Routhier offers a 'categorical' critique of art." - I have a new essay out, read it here: www.e-flux.com/journal/155/...

Panel in the most cooperate-villain-looking room with @sorenmau.bsky.social on his book Mute Compulsion that is going to be available in french in November! 🩷💕💅

I wrote a review of @brunoleipold.com's brilliant book:

Now proofreading...

Danish Marxism making headlines. Brilliant colleague and comrade @routhier.bsky.social on the front page of the Danish public service news provider, explaining why he declined a Fulbright scholarship for a research stay at NYU @dkmarxsoc.bsky.social

Just got the exciting news that my PhD thesis has been accepted for defence 👏 It'll take place on June 2, 12:00, at UCPH and online. If you wanna start your week with a boost of fresh Danish Marxism, please join - I'd be thrilled to see some friendly faces! More details will follow soon 💕

So I wrote about why I declined my Fulbright grant and canceled my research stay at NYU. Free Khalil, free all political prisoners, free Palestine 🇵🇸 politiken.dk/del/mN-u9dAE...

I feel like there's some important deadline coming up very soon, but I can't quite remember what it is. Maybe @dkmarxsoc.bsky.social can help?

“The question for communists is not just how does this work but how could it work. A communist looks at a power plant, a factory, a supermarket, a fleet of buses, or a farm always with an eye to what it could be in communism, which is not at all what it is in capitalism" illwill.com/inquiry-and-...

What is the best estimate of the size of the global relative surplus population today?

Joshua, @marxinhell.bsky.social, me and a well-read copy of Capital at the seminar. Joshua's t-shirt: "CLEAR EYES / FULL COMMUNISM / CAN'T LOSE" 💖 thanks to Rosie Stockton for sending me this photo

The freshest of fresh Danish Marxism ‼️📣 Out now from @esbenboegh.bsky.social and Markus Hansen - on capitalist transitions and Danish farmer cooperatives. Get it here 👇🌸💖 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

So sad to hear about Joshua Clover’s passing. "Riot. Strike. Riot" has had a major influence on me. I was lucky to get the chance to meet this generous, kind, and brilliant thinker at MIR's summer seminar in the mountains of California last year. My first interaction with Joshua was when... 1/3

The abstracts are coming in! 🥳 But remember the ONLY deadline is in four days!

This is one of the best times I've ever had at an academic conference - highly recommend submitting something to the Danish Society for Marxist Studies conference this fall.

One of the crucial questions in contemporary Danish Marxism:

Danish Marxism has become so big they now have their own Budgen

Critical researchers, Marxists, and historians of all kinds, please consider submitting your work to this conference on the concepts of history and time and their political implications, to take place in beautiful Bologna October 27th-29th:

I wonder if the "marxists" mourning the pope even have any fucking clue what the 'dignitas infinita' is? Or that is has 'abortion' and 'gender theory' listed under "Some Grave Violations of Human Dignity"? ffs

our pope
