Constitutions evolve & remain a site of struggle for today’s Left, as explored on @leftofphilosophy.bsky.social’s chat with @lucienferguson.bsky.social on Reconstruction’s legacy. Loved considering notions of freedom as historically and economically contingent. #marxwasright #socialism #philosophy

Will really hits the correct analysis here, the republicans are the only ones in America that treat the Constitution as a living document, the Dems give it too much deference as a dead document. Legal realism wins again.

we've just recorded a banger new @leftofphilosophy.bsky.social episode on the US Constitution, focusing on the reconstruction amendments and the late 19C supreme court cases that limited their reach. 1 key takeaway is that only the reactionary right actively treats it as a living, malleable document
