Marxism in the Age of Trump book! Trump’s victory is the beginning not the end of a process of transforming the Republican Party as well as mainstream politics more generally that is his avowed goal. So the question is the transformation of democracy—of how liberal democratic politics is conducted. This was bound to change, with or without Trump. Now, with Trump, the issue is posed point-blank. There’s no avoiding the crisis of neoliberalism. The Platypus ReviewDie Platypus ReviewHegel and the LeftAdrian Johnston, Andy Blunden, Henry Pickford, Jensen SutherOn October 17, 2020, the Platypus Affiliated Society hosted a virtual panel discussion with Andy Blunden (author and secretary of the Marxists Internet Archive), Adrian Johnston (University of New Mexico), Henry Pickford (Duke University), and Jensen Suther (Platypus Affiliated Society, Yale University), to address the question, How does Hegel task the Left and Marxism today? [. . .]Bridging theory and practice: An interview with Angela DavisDuyminh Tran, Erin HagoodOn December 7, 2020, Erin Hagood and Duyminh Tran interviewed Angela Davis via Zoom. Davis is a political activist, author, and academic whose work has focused on issues on race, class, and feminism. What follows is an edited version of their discussion. [. . .]“Introduction to Negative Dialectics” Seminar PaperAngela DavisIf, in the end, the Hegelian system relates everything to the Absolute in which time is "erase[d],” it nevertheless determines the path to truth, to absolute knowledge as a temporal development of differences and thus elevates the new, the alien, the not-yet-conceptual to a necessary component of the process of knowledge: as its moment. [. . .]Adorno’s Dialectic: Freedom In CrisisOmair HussainIN HIS 1951 BOOK Minima Moralia: Reflections from Damaged Life, Adorno writes, “Wrong life cannot be lived rightly.” The book, whose title is an inverted reference to Aristotle’s Magna Moralia, addresses the fate and status of a traditional philosophical concern: the teaching of the good life. [. . .]Social Democracy, the Mix, and the Problem of the Labor Metaphysic: A Response to recent articles by Chris Cutrone and Matt KarpRichard SchneirovIN 1947, C. WRIGHT MILLS, the celebrated intellectual father of the New Left, was part of a group of New York intellectuals, including Irving Howe and Louis Coser, who thought it possible that a CIO-led labor movement would play the transformative role assigned to it by Marx. [. . .]Einen roten Stern gebären!In meinem Buch "Links–Nietzscheanismus. Eine Einführung" untersuche ich erstmals in umfassender Form einen nahezu übergangenen Bestandteil der Geschichte der Linken. Weder in der allgemeinen Geistesgeschichte noch in der Historiographie der linken Bewegung hat diese Strömung die Aufmerksamkeit erhalten, die sie eigentlich verdiente. Es ist Zeit das zu ändern – nicht zuletzt, weil mit dem Etikett „Links–Nietzscheanismus“ ein unabgegoltenes Erbe verbunden ist. Dieses zu verstehen kann dabei helfen, das Scheitern des linken Experiments an sich zu begreifen – und es vielleicht in Zukunft besser zu machen. [. . .]Vom Nutzen und Nachteil Nietzsches für die LinkeWenige Persönlichkeiten, Adam Smith vielleicht ausgenommen, sind von der Linken derart mit Verachtung gestraft worden wie Nietzsche. Allzu beflissen ist der Philosoph des Eises und Hochgebirges in die Untiefen der rechten Reaktion verbannt oder als kurzlebige Koketterie verspottet worden, lediglich tauglich für Pubertätskrisen männlicher Jugendlicher. [. . .]Lenins Verteidigung des naturwissenschaftlichen Materialismus: Materialismus und Empiriokritizismus (1909)Am Anfang des vergangenen Jahrhunderts kam es in der Naturwissenschaft zu einer tiefgreifenden Krise: In der Zeit um 1900 erwiesen sich die Vorstellungen und Begriffe, die man sich bis dahin in der klassischen Physik von der Materie gemacht hatte, als nicht mehr länger haltbar.
