v excited to share the new @leftofphilosophy.bsky.social episode on Polanyi, given the resurgence of left-Polanyism especially among progressive political economists in recent decades. the short of it is: I like it, it certainly beats neoclassical approaches, but the framework has important limits

“Fascism, it’s always about using nationalism, and the nation, as a bludgeon to generate support for death policies, on behalf of death governments. For violence and repression and exploitation, internationalism is the antidote, always.” —Robin D. G. Kelley

Loved the populist message sent by positioning the richest men on earth in front of the cabinet but he lost me with the “territorial expansion” stuff. Fuckin TDS man it’s a helluva drug

"If I'm guilty of this, every cop in the nation's going to jail," Wendt told CBS News just days before a federal judge sentenced him to a 5-year prison term. Wendt's crimes appear to be part of a nationwide pattern."

we just released our newest episode today, on Adorno's free time essay. now, we give him a bit of a hard time, but at the end of the day we all agree that suntanning is a disgusting bourgeois indulgence worthy of critical scorn. check it out 👇 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1...

Along these lines: I’m Will, I work on critical philosophy of race, critical theory, Africana philosophy, and political philosophy. I teach at University of Toronto. Another cohost of What’s Left of Philosophy, but I’m more a lover than a hater. See Gil’s thread for links to the podcast!
it seems like bio posts are useful, so: I'm Gil, I research early modern phil, German idealism and contemporary political theory. I teach rn at Loyola U Chicago and soon elsewhere (tease!). I am a cohost of the What's Left of Philosophy podcast, a historian of ideas, an artist, a lover and a hater.

just recorded the new WLOP on Adorno's free time essay and let me tell you, he's definitely onto something but it is hard to take the cranky old bastard seriously when he's like 'suntanning is the height of heteronomous pseudo-activity in alienated bourgeois society'
