Political philosopher at Durham Uni, living in Whitley Bay. Writes about Marx, work, and economic justice. Villa fan
I wrote something for @jacobinmagazin.bsky.social on Marx on self-realisation in work, and how the prevailing interpretation - put forward by G.A.Cohen - gets Marx wrong.

For Karl Marx, Human Flourishing Is Inherently Social
Central to Karl Marx’s vision of the good society is the idea that people fully flourish only in meeting the needs of others.

Much as we all detest (other's people's) jargon, if you have a view and want people to talk about it then you have to give it a mellifluous name. A large proportion of the citations to my work pick up on the terms 'corrosive disadvantage', 'fertile functionings' and 'shameful revelation'.
