Resist the rampant negation of ludic violence in socialist game worlds! As part of the @e_flux special issue Experimental Publics, edited by the wonderful Mi You, my essay delivers heavy blows against the anti-political utopianism of cooperative games. e-flux.com/journal/150/64600…
An dieser Stelle versagen selbst die Botnetzwerke. Die synthetische Gegenöffentlichkeit kollabiert vor unseren Augen.
This will likely turn out to be the most prominent case of AI psychosis: a formerly brilliant person, unwilling to come to terms with reality, conjures mechanical yes-men to keep his fragile worldview from imploding.

Just finished @BrunoLeipold brilliant Citizen Marx. Not just a must read for the definitive account of Marx’s republican convictions but also for gems like this. The antithesis of “slapdash scholarship” and a pure joy to read. Deutscher Prize Winner 2025. You heard it here first!
Could anyone recommend critical studies on the organisational principles of worker cooperatives? Something like The Myth of Mondragon for the second part of the 19th century (1844-1883 to be precise)? Beyond G D H Cole, Sydney Elliot, Brett Fairbairn. much appreciated.

Entgegen der Autorität von Bürokratie, Optimierungsalgorithmen oder produzierender Peripherie ist es der Anspruch einer demokratischen Planung, dieses Problem entlang eines partizipativen Ideals zu lösen. /5
In Anbetracht eines agonistischen Pluralismus stellen solche Situationen aber keine Ausnahme dar, sondern werden die Regel sein. In der Totalität des Plans scheint die Wahl zwischen autoritärer Staatsbürokratie und einer demokratischen Administration des Elends zu bestehen. /9
