Poulantzas had things more conceptually in order but Althusser (and Balibar, mostly, depending on how you take his later works) has been vindicated 100 times over in insisting on demarcating between the capitalist state and any working class administration when thinking through the limits of office

next, we have @cliffconnolly.bsky.social with a great primer on MUG’s vision of democracy “addressed to the reader who holds these questions in their heart but is disinclined to spelunking the depths of a 600-page textbook to find the answers.” www.marxistunity.com/light-and-ai...
MUG’s Vision of Democracy — Marxist Unity Group
Why does MUG love debate so much? What is protagonism? Who counts as part of the proletariat? Who is the vanguard of the proletariat?

starting a thread of writing that drops from MUG, starting with @dreadfulposts.bsky.social going into depth about our view of electoral politics in the US
I wrote about how DSA should engage with elections, and about how we should engage with campaigns to change the undemocratic nature of our elections. www.marxistunity.com/light-and-ai...

I'm not like the biggest kautsky guy (he had some early hits) but reading history about him and the 2nd international reveals a lot of the foundations of "western marxism" were... kinda bullshit and self-important?

liberal political practice is boycotting specific nyt articles
“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!
