Appreciated this very thoughtful review from Amy Allen, including a critique that I now think is justified onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

Today learnt that the supposed Oscar Wilde quote about socialism taking too many evenings was just made up by Michael Walzer in 1968 quoteinvestigator.com/2019/06/03/e...

Feels historically incongrous that Robert Michels has an APSR publication

The best it can do is produce a lifeless copy

A friend lent me this and its nice to be reminded of the kind of writing AI is incapable of generating by itself

It's perhaps not everyone's idea of how to spend a birthday, but I think I'm pretty luck to spend the day teaching my favourite topic 🙂✊

Looking into the Meidner Plan and came across his calculations for when workers would, under different scenarios, gain majority control of their company

Reviewed in today's @faznet.bsky.social which (somewhat oddly) for a bourgeois paper comes to the defence of petty bourgeois proper www.faz.net/aktuell/feui...

Totally random fact I learned today: the IRS asks you to report income from bribes, drug dealing and theft

Very insulted, as a socialist, to be considered part of the Democratic Party 😏

A characteristically thought-provoking review by Nicholas Vrousalis focusing particularly on the coherence of the idea of impersonal domination www.ejpe.org/journal/arti...

New article in Political Philosophy on the state of democracy...

Both illustrations were re-used (perhap to save money) from earlier books published by Capital's publisher Maurice Lachâtre: "Histoire des papes" and his "Nouveau dictionnaire universel"

Bruno Leipold @brunoleipold.com · 17/10/2025

Recently learned that the more well-known illustration of the French edition of Capital (first image) was not the only one, and that there were at least two others that were full of republican iconography (second and third image)

Really pleased with this review by Sam Ben-Meir which nicely captures what I was trying to do with Citizen Marx marxandphilosophy.org.uk/reviews/2232...

Once again @dkmarxsoc.bsky.social conference has been an absolute blast. Thanks so much to the brilliant organising committee. Can’t wait for #HyggeMarxism 2026 edition!

Looking forward to presenting some new research and the world's most fun Marxism conference

Cool of Corey Robin to list Citizen Marx as one of the three books he recommends on the Ezra Klein Show www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/o...

A typically thought-provoking and sweeping survey by Anton Jäger in @mihjournal.bsky.social of Skinner's and my's recent books on republicanism

Bruno Leipold @brunoleipold.com · 25/07/2025

Even stranger is that in the French, Marx changed it to "Argus" i.e. a hundred-eyed giant rather than a one-eyed giant

1101

Bruno Leipold @brunoleipold.com · 25/07/2025

As an aside I'm not quite sure why its translated as "Titans" when in German Marx used "Cyclopes"

Bruno Leipold @brunoleipold.com · 25/07/2025

Googled a line from the new Capital translation and its AI search hallucinated this slop

Watching Russo play Italy reminds me of the story that when Jean-Jacques Rousseau was baptised Catholic in Turin it was as Giovanni-Giacomo Russo

Very excited for the latest contribution to radical republicanism ✊

Bruno Leipold @brunoleipold.com · 01/06/2025

I'm not sure about the 2007 point. But I think @sorenmau.bsky.social is right that the biographical reason I don't engage with VFT is my more analytic background. I think its a fair critique that I should have done so (thought I'm not sure to what extent I would've ended agreeing/taking it on)

Bruno Leipold @brunoleipold.com · 30/05/2025

Couldn’t agree more with this conclusion from @sorenmau.bsky.social ’s very generous review ✊

Bruno Leipold @brunoleipold.com · 26/05/2025

Heat a joy to discuss @vcwills.bsky.social and I’s books with @schlawinerkreis.bsky.social @mirjam-m.bsky.social Dorothea Gädeke and Gabriel Wollner

Real pleasure to meet @andrewhartman.bsky.social and hear about his new book Karl Marx in America (with comments from Lorenzo Costaguta and Robin Blackburn). Very excited to read it

Third review this week! Nice way to start the weekend 🙂
