My first book, *Unpaid: the Past, Present and Future of Wage Theft*, will be published by @versobooks.bsky.social in May, 2026!

This book is born from experience. It is written for anyone who is dissatisfied with the capitalist wage system.

The topic was interesting but the speaker seemed incredibly hung over, very unprofessional imo

1/ I'm excited to share that Franz Knappik’s and my Cambridge Element on Hegel and Colonialism is finally out – open access below! We trace how Hegel defends European colonial rule, including transatlantic slavery, and how that defence runs through his entire philosophical system.

Well what is it??????

A section of a page from an unidentified book. It reads: “To the extent that such a thing as ‘Danish’ Marxism exists, it must immediately abolish itself - it must become non-insular and engage with, and contribute to, a global literature. As our conference has become increasingly international, it will hopefully contribute to this devel-opment. So the answer to the question ‘what is Danish Marxism?’ is”

I have to say I'm pressed to think of a single revolt in history where anyone had laid out an alternative order in advance. Maybe 1917 is the closest thing, but even that was chaotic and made up as they went along.

Epic handshake meme where it says “Danish Marxism” on one arm, “Dutch Marxism” on the other, and “Marxism but with bicycles” on the hands.

The only positive thing about Tony Blair potentially becoming viceroy of Gaza is that it significantly increases the chances that he’ll be shot.
