Beyond the Wage Relation – Spectre Journal Hugo de Camps Mora challenges Vivek Chibber's fetishized account of materialism in favor of the broader and more expansive conception Marx argued for.

Wrote this for @journalspectre.bsky.social in response to Vivek Chibber and the broader resurgence of economistic materialism. Drawing on the concept of fetishism, I suggest such approaches revive errors Marx had already sought to critique

The Rise of the Meritocratic Elite Unlike in previous eras, elite reproduction today is now hidden under the veil of meritocracy — creating a need among the rich to present themselves as if they were just like us.

"Although the mechanisms through which people reach elite positions are still hugely important, they are now essentially hidden under the veil of meritocracy."

Read @samfriedman.bsky.social interview with @hcampsm.bsky.social in Jacobin.

How Karl Marx Became a Communist In his new biography of Karl Marx, Bruno Leipold puts his subject in historical context. Marx, he tells Jacobin, was engaged in a political struggle against utopian communists and republicans unable t...

Sat down with @brunoleipold.com to discuss his book "Citizen Marx". We talked about the influence of Republicanism in Marx's thought, and why the left must take the lead in the conversation on freedom—rather than leaving it to conservatives and liberals. Don't miss it! jacobin.com/2024/12/marx...
