Socialdemokratiet strippet for poster og magt i København: 'Vi har NADA'
Det gamle magtparti får ingen af de eftertragtede betalte poster, der giver penge og indflydelse i hovedstaden. Det stækker dem gevaldigt de næste fire år.

A lot of writing on renewable energy depicts the industry as "laborless," suggesting that workers in the industry aren't really central to the politics of the "energy transition."
My new article in @societyandspace.bsky.social shows how mistaken this view is.

My partner was speaking broken German so the kids wouldn’t understand, and she didn’t know what a Christmas elf was called so she said ‘kleine Weihnachtsgenosse’ and that’s what I’m calling it from now on.

I feel like there was a lot of crtiticism in the discourse of the Reitter translation of Capital for being depoliticized and overly Marxological, but I can't really find any now.
Does anybody have any examples of such criticism? Prefarably something more than Twitter posts!
