New on our site: "Beneath Class and Consciousness," an essay from X. Rivera Maya and Richard Hunsinger. The authors provide a critique of the theory of the party in Phil A. Neel's work and defend an alternative conception of the party. ctwgwebsite.github.io/blog/2026/Pa...

Despite what the “anti-anti-imperialists” who claim the tradition today would have you believe, orthodox critical theory was actually, as Horkheimer wrote in Twilight, all about utter contempt for the “vacuous pacifism which condemns a colonial war & a prison revolt in equal measure for ‘violence.’”

He was rightfully understood as a mass murderer. It just turns out a lot of white people respect mass murderers.

The critique of the podcast form is tackling religion! @catholicclod.bsky.social and Crane have a wonderful conversation on how to understand religious traditions, particularly Christianity, and how CT can emerge not from without, but within!

The crisis of command over labor has increasingly driven states within the imperial core toward deeper dependence on Musk with access to infrastructure necessary to maintain state sovereignty, but this increasingly corrodes state legitimacy, accentuating the social crisis it is attempting to resolve

Jules @catholicclod.bsky.social · 21/05/2026
Within the context of labor's global fragmentation, we gain a better understanding of Muskism as a *competing* class strategy alongside finance, dispersed production, and the tech right: all of which propose distinct (but very much interdependent) solutions to labor's ungovernability

In this sense, the turn to contracting during the early phase of neoliberalism must be understood as capital's attempt to re-capture social labor within the firm. But such efforts only intensified worker mobility and fragmentation, deepening the crisis of command over labor

Jules @catholicclod.bsky.social · 21/05/2026
Whereas many marxist/heterodox accounts situate capital as proactive and labor reactive, my account stresses that we cannot understand capital's development unless we do so on the terms of labor's own struggles and victories that triggered the crisis of Fordist accumulation in the mid-20th century

I like to remind my students that Jackie Robinson RE-broke the color barrier because >50 yrs previously there were Black players in the Majors, but the teams actively chose to segregate. Segregation & acts of racism are affirmative choices made by & for the benefit of White people & institutions.

People seem to ignore that the student encampments were a culmination of decades worth of on campus pro-pal organizing. Leadership and organizations that have, in many cases, been hollowed out.

“I am political,” Ms. Rachel told me of her new effort to free kids from ICE detention. “It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love … and that our care shouldn’t stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border. Mr. Rogers was very political.”
