The irony in Bari Weiss et al's failure is if they actually knew anything about Marx and critical theory they'd have been more aware of the challenges in creating spaces genuinely free committed to open inquiry while being governed by capitalists

Sad to hear about the recent passing of Eduardo Mendieta, a brilliant philosopher who did so much work to explore and promote critical philosophy and Latin American thought. He was a very generous reader on my MA thesis committee. We need more scholars like him.

My piece on Bernie Sanders and his defense of left liberal values for @theunpopulist.net
Sanders’ mixed, but largely critical, evaluation of the Democratic Party centers on the lack of viable class politics. He argues that by abandoning the working class, Democrats created a “political vacuum” where right-wing populism’s resentments could fester.
