"Without this theoretical grounding [of class], it is impossible to determine whether purported Political novelties are in fact the product of strong topological interventions that subvert and recompose the structure (i.e. whether they are in fact novelties)."
A quote from the article "Rupture, Residual, and the Party Form" by A.M. The quote reads: "Contrary to the assertion that we should pursue a post-classist mode of politics, class must be vigorously re-centred in our political interventions even if our vision of class Politics must anticipate the emergence of post-classist formations and take into consideration the ways in which class itself is overdetermined by (settler-)colonialism, patriarchy, racism, etc."

A.M. responds to @cammunismm.bsky.social's “Rupture Theory” by asserting the continuing relevance of the party-form, the need for social analysis as a guide for political intervention, and an analysis of the dialectical relationship between rupture and continuity www.negationmag.com/articles/rup...

From Marx to Spinoza: Affect, Ideology, Materiality (an online seminar that Jeremy Gilbert, Andy Goffey, and I do) has two new sessions coming up. culturepowerpolitics.org/from-marx-to...
13. Saturday February 21st 2026 17:00-19:00 GMT

Spinoza in Post-Marxist Philosophy with Katja Diefenbach

With respect to contemporary Marxism or Post-Marxism Spinoza is one philosopher, infinite interpretations: Louis Althusser, Antonio Negri, Pierre Macherey, Etienne Balibar, Gilles Deleuze, and Alexandre Matheron all draw from Spinoza, but in fundamentally different ways. Althusser’s use of Spinoza to develop a theory of ideology as the imaginary representation of the relationship to their real relations is fundamentally different from Negri’s use of Spinoza to construct a theory of the multitude as the political subject, which is in turn different from Deleuze’s examination of the affective dimension of politics. Up until now no one has really examined these different interpretations in relation to each other, investigating how they emerge from tensions within Spinoza’s work. Katja Diefenbach’s Spinoza in Post-Marxist Philosophy is the first book to appear, at least in English, that examines the different and diverse strands of Spinozist Marxism, examining how they overlap and diverge from each other. 

14. Monday March 16th 2026 17:00-19:00 GMT

Spinoza’s Multitude, and Marxism’s with Michael Hardt

Michael Hardt is known worldwide for his contributions to radical political philosophy, particularly with reference to the Autonomist Marxist and Deleuzian traditions, alone and in collaboration with the late Antonio Negri. In this seminar he will discuss the genesis of the idea of ‘multitude’ in Spinoza and its later significance in his own and others’ work.

For each of these seminars, we will send the Zoom link for the seminar to the Culture, Power and Politics email list about an hour before the start, so please sign up to the list and check your spam filters if you would like to attend.
