Irrationalitetens triumf

Jeg siger noget om svineavl i en kronik i Politiken i dag. Gavelink -> politiken.dk/del/msRbarAH...

Det er ikke nok at være forarget over svinelandbruget

Ved at fokusere ensidigt på ekstremavl risikerer vi alene at afbøde dens konsekvenser uden altså grundlæggende at rokke ved den avl, der historisk er udviklet til at understøtte den nuværende eksporto

This is what the Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, along with her nationalist friends refer to as "a threat against Europe"

As a commentary on our contemporary condition, Nolan’s Odyssey mourns the crisis of liberalism and ends by expressing hope for a future liberal restoration. Of course, we should reject such nostalgia.

Jeg har været på Nationalmuseet, hvor jeg fandt en god opsummering af en for tiden meget populær bog om “folkelighed”.

Vivek Chibber sadly fails to see that his arguments for market "socialism" lead to a naturalization of orthodox economic theory. His model would still produce the same pathologies as any economy where market competition and profit-maximization are permitted. jacobin.com/2026/05/cent...

Socialism Has a Future. Central Planning Doesn’t.

Central planners had a rational vision: replace the anarchy of the market with conscious coordination. Vivek Chibber explains why calculation and incentive problems undermined that vision, but a diffe...

I Danmark kommer truslen fra højre ikke fra snak om laktoseintolerans eller kyrilliske t-shirts men derimod i form af højskolesangbog og stegt flæsk. Ikke hardcore raceideologi men hyggeracisme, nationalisme og folkeånd.

Meanwhile, in Denmark, the left embraces reamament and increased military spending in the name of "national defence". The strong tradition of anti-militarism, including both left-social democrats and most of the socialist and communist left, is long gone. jacobin.com/2026/03/germ...

Den nye atomvåbenaftale forringer sikkerheden, øger utrygheden og er blot endnu et skridt i det globale våbenkapløb, hvor Danmark igen igen agerer halehæng i stedet for at holde fast i at gå en selvstændig vej.

Mit bedste råd til Rådet for kulturel modstandskraft vil være at definere "kulturel modstandskraft" som evnen til at modstå politisk pres for at instrumentalisere kultur som led i en national oprustning, herunder presset for at oprette et råd for kulturel modstandskraft. www.dr.dk/nyheder/kult...

"we had boats landing there, also"... We're truly living in an era of aimless, mad capitalism and irrational imperialist decadence

Pleaseeee can we stop pretending that the main problem with the US attacking and taking control over Venezuela is that they for once haven’t bothered framing their imperialism in international legal discourse? International law won’t save us, it was literally created to justify shit like this

Remember that the US *does not care* about the people of Venezuela. It is not about "narcotrafficking", or "democracy", or whatever propaganda they have going. It is *explicitly* about US control over oil, capital accumulation, and geopolitical power.

Do we really believe that appealing to “international law” can prevent imperialist aggression? History teaches otherwise. We need to abolish the system that creates the conditions for such aggression: global capitalism. If that seems somehow unrealistic, it’s simply necessary to make it less so.

This book is essential reading for historians of capitalism and agriculture. It provides new evidence of the crucial role of peasant expropriation by large landowners in the emergence of agrarian capitalism in England during the 15th-16th centuries. For years, the role of peasant expropriation 1/2

If “nationalise the entire economy” means throwing the market economy into the dustbin of history, count me in!

Zarah Sultana says we should "nationalise the entire economy." I asked her what that meant in practice.

Socialdemokrater har i disse dage travlt med at udråbe sig som det eneste "folkeparti" i Danmark. Men Socialdemokratiet har altså ikke været et reelt folkeparti i begrebets klassiske forstand som et organiseret masseparti forankret i folkelige organisationer i mange mange årtier.

Kaare Dybvad viser her totalt manglende forståelse for sit eget partis rolle i de sidste mange årtiers liberalisering, markedsgørelse og stigende ulighed. I stedet har han fundet på den absurde idé, at alt handler om indvandring. www.information.dk/indland/2025...

I edited a book "Danish Marxism: Past, Present, Future" that was released at the tenth annual conference of @dkmarxsoc.bsky.social a few weeks ago. It celebrates 10 years of critical research presented at the conferences and can be downloaded for free here marxistiskestudier.com/wp-content/u...

Need a new novel for bedtime reading. Preferably something recent. Any suggestions?

At the Danish Marxism conference, I had a great discussion after my paper presenting a critical history of the Danish farmer cooperatives. Are cooperatives inherently problematic, or is it just this specific historical example? My opinion is that whether a capitalist firm is owned by individuals 1/3
