ruy mauro marini's concepts around surplus population are far richer in theoretical and historical elaboration than the political marxist brain rot inherited by endnotes

paul mattick jrs full scale assault on antiimperialist politics in recent issues of brooklyn rail is pathological. at least senior mattick managed to incorporate imperialism in his theory during the Vietnam war libcom.org/article/amer...

james c scott, a significant influence on us anarchism, is the exact point where the new philosophers and the french intellectual reaction of the 70s and freddy perlman meet. all the more reason anti-state anarchists should take a closer look at the the anti-statism of pascal bruckner and his cohort

unlike post-situ or pro-situ anarchists from 80s onward that made it impossible to conceive of "maoism", this situationist critique is actually generative even if i have many disagreements

sergio bologna in "class composition and the theory of the party at the origins of the workers' council movement" sounds exactly like how ultras talked about the "historical party" and "party as articulator" during the 2020 uprising

not sure if anyone picks up on mike davis "overconsumption" thesis he pushed in the 80s. seems even more relevant in relation to extremely unhinged centrality of cyprto to trump's resurgence

The disgusting western chauvinist mod policy update is here, for those who are interested. Not sure why abolition media didn't link to it but they should have.

is it any wonder that endnotes and co end up where they are when they find inspiration from italian theories of Gemeinwesen that interpret black revolts in american cities as "return to primal forest". this is the heart of their anti-politics, or "non-movements"

mike davis understood the disastrous consequences of the white left adandoning and/or demoting black liberation struggles. something equivalent also manifested itself in france where gauchistes abandoned maoism

sunil khilnani's arguing revolution is a primo book. especially that last chapter on francios furet 👌

it's curious that sebald left germany between 1965-1975 and never once mentions what happens in that period. it's curious

wg sebald, levinas, heidegger and hp lovecraft should all be read together

loren goldner's quite nasty jeremaid against elbaum's book has the virtue providing a gloss of the terms under which anti-stalinist libertarian current developed in the 70s. particularly the introduction of debord and camatte to the us.
