In his contribution to our dossier, @pathtopraxis argues that the latest iteration of Trump's economic policy represents a window into the global restructuring of class conflict, "a renewed ruling class offensive." Read Jamie's piece below 👇

The global significance of the protests in Turkey: 1) The world is shifting to the far right and Erdoğan is the only far-right leader in an electorally competitive context who has had an uninterrupted 23-year rule. 2) There were several electoral victories, uprisings and coup

nothing more contingent and random in capitalist society than a bunch of capitalists smashing up the state and handing it off to their cronies for privatization
"History is contingent" absolutely crushing "it's all structural forces" recently

Capital began to hyper-concentrate around the time scholars started to say that power was capillary and diffuse.

so funny that “the groups” pejorative now extends to any cohort of humans asking democrats, in any organized fashion, to do anything beyond just fundraising, sending death robots to Israel and shrugging. Anyone who wants politicians to do politics is a pie in the sky purist

i daresay it’s rather timely
‘Endgame, Economic Nationalism & Global Decline' by @pathtopraxis (@reaktionbooks) was a gift from my eldest daughter, so I knew it'd be good. It’s changed my understanding of the world in a way few books do. No easy answers, but we have to understand what we're up against. #left

In the last 3 months of 2024, I applied for 51 academic jobs; 3 in Denmark, 48 in the US. After waiting and waiting, the results are in: I made it to 1 shortlist, had 1 Zoom interview, and received zero offers. This market is so brutal. In other words: still looking for a job!
My postdoc position ends in August, so I'm looking for a job! I’d love to teach and do research at a Danish or US university, but I'm open to other jobs that involve reading/writing/speaking. Any leads on job opportunities for a Marxist philosopher will be greatly appreciated!
