I’m so angry I wrote an article: In Germany, fascist majorities are a real possibility again, but the centrist merger of a revived Red Scare with open racism shows that mainstream media & politics are unable or unwilling to comprehend the seriousness of the crisis tribunemag.co.uk/2026/09/germ...

Warning from Germany: It’s Socialism or Barbarism
Fascism is at the door, and liberals are ushering it in. Only the left offers hope.

Deeply disappointed in my college @nuffieldcollege.bsky.social. It is simply shameful for an educational institution aiming to "address social, economic and political problems" to use its resources to host someone who justifies genocidal war and has a history of racist statements about Palestinians

New paper in @polphiljournal.bsky.social: "Ideal Theory as Fetishism." I argue that we should bring the materialist critique of idealism into methodological debates in political theory - and (as you may guess from the title) that ideal theory is a kind of fetishism in the Marxian sense.

I have a new article on depression and critique out in Constellation - in case anyone needed more depression on their timelines! I discuss to what extent, and how, feelings of depression can be politicized and channeled into resistance.

Very happy to see my article on anger, critique, and resistance published in Hypatia. It argues for a less moralized understanding of anger highlighting that emancipatory anger is a political achievement.
