It must be said that the world-historic evil of Israel denies humanity to everyone. The colonized are deprived of it in the constant repetition of images like this, the colonizers and their enablers forfeit it to maintain the colonial system. Everything is really on the line.
I will be teaching an upper-level “Environmental Philosophy” course in the spring and I recently worked out a first draft of the syllabus. My plan is to frame it with Sartre’s regressive-progressive method, which moves from historical analysis to praxis. Feedback is very welcome!

Weird, another gay dream. 4th day in a row. It must be emblematic of my confused feelings of the class and power structure in America
One of the great achievements of critical philosophy of race has been to show that race is a highly unstable category. Its genesis was diffuse and non-synchronous, mobilized in response to concrete phases of struggle. Racialization is a praxis that needs dialectical articulation.

When Fanon calls for a ‘new humanity,’ or Sartre for an ‘incomplete humanity,’ I take them to be doing the opposite of positing a trans-historical individual, though they certainly refuse to abandon individuality as such; they could not retain an emancipatory politics otherwise.
It is remarkable that Vance would not use this question as an opportunity to articulate real political opposition to socialism, which even a mediocre educated bourgeois would be expected to do; but it shows that the American right-wing is for the most part ideologically deadened.

The declaration of Sartre et. al. published in support of the student uprising in 1968. All power to the revolutionary students and the revolutionary masses: then and today!

What I find consequential about the Haitian Revolution is that it was the enslaved Africans who took seriously the slogans of the bourgeois revolutions and were the first to attempt to push them beyond the limits of bourgeois society.

I know even very smart people are functionally illiterate on this point, so it always bears repeating that what Marxism and Christianity have in common, perhaps even more than the primacy of the oppressed, is the critique of religion.
Abolitionists theorized the ‘slave power’ to understand how minoritarian interests of the south constituted a system that enveloped all the nation’s institutions and subordinated more and more of the world to slavery. We have a great need for theorizing Zionism along these lines.
