Every time our economic system generates another crash, the state is on hand with public money to bail out private losses. It’s time we stopped seeing bailouts as individual episodes and recognized them as a core feature of contemporary capitalism.

For most of the 20th century, class predicted voting behavior better than anything else. The recent process of class dealignment has proved disastrous for left politics — and to reverse it, we must have clarity on who counts as working-class.
June 10th. Twenty to six, and I’ve just arrived at Centre Saint-Pierre for RÉZO’s annual general meeting. The long tables usually here have been folded and pushed against the right-hand wall. Plastic and metal chairs in rows facing a screen. Fluorescent light. I find a seat and the shaking starts, low and steady. There is...
The Palm Springs School for Social Research wants to revitalize historical materialism, revive ideology critique, and ask big questions about social life. We talked to one of its founders, Catherine Liu, about gangster capitalism and the future of socialism.
The era of class compromise is never coming back. Any serious democratic socialist politics must pursue a politics of rupture with capitalism.
The rich have long used the fiction of “corporate personhood” to amass privileges while protecting themselves from accountability for their misdeeds. Now tech bros and venture capitalists want to further distort the concept of a person to include robots.
Bhaskar Sunkara reflects on the rise, defeat, and possible renewal of socialism — and on the generations of ordinary people who fought to build a world beyond class domination.
The conversation is over. My friend and I are sitting in the particular stillness that follows something hard, the kind where the next thing hasn’t become possible yet. I know how to be here. I’ve learned, over years of this kind of work, how to stay inside difficulty without flinching toward resolution, and that knowing...
The tech giants at the commanding heights of the modern economy did not invent a new mode of production — they are simply classically exploitative capitalists.
Economists often take money for granted, ignoring the role it plays in constraining the distribution of resources. A new book by economists J. W. Mason and Arjun Jayadev sets out to overturn the dogmatic assumptions of their profession.
Central planners had a rational vision: replace the anarchy of the market with conscious coordination. Vivek Chibber explains why calculation and incentive problems undermined that vision, but a different sort of socialism can still flourish.
A socialism with a role for markets but not capitalists can deliver human flourishing without the pitfalls of fully planned economies.
Bertolt Brecht predicted it in 1942: American fascism would be democratic in the American fashion. He was right. That's precisely what makes it so hard to stop.
Can machine learning automatically detect important changes in a material’s Fermi surface from complex and noisy data?

What would an anarchist federation society actually look like in practice? Well for a start it would look far more organised than its critics usually imagine, and far less like chaos that the present order actually is. Its basic structure would begin from the principle that coordination should arise from below, from people where they actually live and work, rather than being imposed from a…

We are not for a second asserting here that anyone can become Autistic, or similar. What we are saying is that all bodyminds are formed in context, and that “normality” itself is a cultural construction, not a biological destiny.
If neuronormativity is a system that defines certain cognitive styles as correct, then diverging from that system, resisting it, refusing it, reworking it, is…
Here is another story: the hallmark of capitalism is poverty in the midst of plenty.
This is not the only thing wrong with capitalism, but it is its gravest failing. Widespread poverty — especially amongst children, who clearly bear no responsibility for their plight — is morally reprehensible in rich societies where it could be easily eliminated.
Anticapitalism is possible, not simply…

The first time I emailed a stranger, I swear my cursor hovered over Send for a full five minutes.
I had plenty of justifiable reasons to remain hesitant. Not wanting to take up their time, feeling bothersome, worried my question was a silly one... A hundred disparate excuses
