This is the question "loaded with dynamite" that a close reading of Rosa Luxemburg's economic writings suggests.

German politics hot take: massively expanding German military in response to the threat of Russia is what Putin actually wants, because then when the AFD takes power, Germany’s withdrawal from NATO will give Putin a more powerful ally with which to bully the rest of Europe.

💡 A Postcolonial Trend in the Historiography of International Law?
We're excited to highlight an article by our Postdoc @micheletedeschini.bsky.social!
He argues that any account of the past is also an act of constructing authorial identity.

Tributes and reflections on the legacy of Toni Negri usually mention Empire as his most accomplished academic work. In my view, a 1999 essay on Derrida's Spectres of Marx is possibly Negri at his best. Memorable the conclusion, to which I often return.

Day 6 of my first Covid run and I gotta say, the last few days have been SO heinous (has anyone else coughed up plastic-hard bits of phlegm) that I'm not sure the 'return to normal' this term was worth it. Seriously thinking about going back to my masked and cloistered life.
