"We didn't have a chance," one officer said. "[Trump] was still giving his speech, and I just had to leave, because he's basically just telling people to come down here and rip this place down."

Hello all, this is a new blog post at the CTWG. It is a written adaptation of my Hessen presentation from Spring. There, I give a condensed summary of the Hessen-Grossmann thesis while situating it within a broader genealogy of Marxist science historiography. Hope y’all find this fruitful.
