True, and that was a great editorial to post. But I think both of you are missing a key linguistic and conceptual asymmetry here between right and left, which the left has no interest in curing, but which if we […]



Johnetta Cole on Intimate Politics

at work, I’ve been listening to Angela Davis — just search on youtube and listen to them all. It’s all you need to understand what is going on, and how to address so many of the issues that come up repeatedly within leftist and feminist circles.
Seriously.
Meanwhile, a “related video” alert brought me to this […]



Feminism and Capitalism

By shag carpet bomb • Mar 22nd, 2009 • Category: Marxist Theory, Political Economy

ha. Is capitalism a feminist issue? Or, is it an issue feminists should care about?
Yeah, I’m being snide. Reading Postone last week, and then diving into The Great Financial Crisis (TGFC) by John Bellamy Foster and Fred Magdoff, it’s on my mind. A little. As I read TGFC, my mind sometimes wanders to a blog […]

By shag carpet bomb • Mar 8th, 2009 • Category: Critical Social Theory, Marxist Theory, Theory, Time Labor and Social Domination

I haven’t had time to sit down and write about Agustin’s book, Sex at the Margins, but I will try to get to it before it’s due back. Problem is, they’ve ramped up the pace at work, so I worked a long week, which left little time for anything substantive — other than getting to […]
