My book on the Danish cooperative movement will be published on January 9th. It tells the story of how farmer cooperatives have transformed agriculture, nature, and the conditions for people and animals over the past 140 years. Available for pre-order: unipress.dk/udgivelser/a...
Mit bedste råd til Rådet for kulturel modstandskraft vil være at definere "kulturel modstandskraft" som evnen til at modstå politisk pres for at instrumentalisere kultur som led i en national oprustning, herunder presset for at oprette et råd for kulturel modstandskraft. www.dr.dk/nyheder/kult...

Pleaseeee can we stop pretending that the main problem with the US attacking and taking control over Venezuela is that they for once haven’t bothered framing their imperialism in international legal discourse? International law won’t save us, it was literally created to justify shit like this

Remember that the US *does not care* about the people of Venezuela. It is not about "narcotrafficking", or "democracy", or whatever propaganda they have going. It is *explicitly* about US control over oil, capital accumulation, and geopolitical power.

Do we really believe that appealing to “international law” can prevent imperialist aggression? History teaches otherwise. We need to abolish the system that creates the conditions for such aggression: global capitalism. If that seems somehow unrealistic, it’s simply necessary to make it less so.

This book is essential reading for historians of capitalism and agriculture. It provides new evidence of the crucial role of peasant expropriation by large landowners in the emergence of agrarian capitalism in England during the 15th-16th centuries. For years, the role of peasant expropriation 1/2

Zarah Sultana says we should "nationalise the entire economy."
I asked her what that meant in practice.

Socialdemokrater har i disse dage travlt med at udråbe sig som det eneste "folkeparti" i Danmark. Men Socialdemokratiet har altså ikke været et reelt folkeparti i begrebets klassiske forstand som et organiseret masseparti forankret i folkelige organisationer i mange mange årtier.

It’s wonderful to see how the small Danish Marxism conference we founded years ago has grown into a big and vibrant international event. This year was especially meaningful as we celebrated its 10th anniversary. May it continue to inspire and flourish for many years to come!
THANK YOU 💕💕
Our 10th conference is done and dusted and we couldn’t be happier. A huge thank you from the organisers to everyone who presented, listened, discussed, laughed, and raged about the state derivation debate 🫶
Keep an eye on our channels for information about next year’s conference!!

Really looking forward to joining comrades at the 10th Danish Marxism conference! I’ll be presenting a paper making a historical critique of the cooperative form and arguing that if Danish agriculture is to move toward a sustainable future, its current cooperative structure must be dismantled.

Jeg har godt nok svært ved at forestille mig, at landmændene efter de lokale treparter - der lige nu forhandler udtagning af landbrugsjord - også vil være parate til endnu mere omfangsrige udtagninger gennem en skovrejsningsorden. Det virker helt urealistisk. politiken.dk/klima/art105...
