I wasn’t planning to do the year-end collection of writings thread, but I would like to bury all the rather unpleasant notifications coming in from my critique of Stock, so...
I did not *write* much this year, but I was lucky to have a few things published anyway:


4. On Adorno and exploitation https://t.co/cejOfqx4Hs
Thoughts on Adorno, exploitation, the bounds of agency, and control vs. domination.

In defense of cancel culture, a thread:
— William Clare Roberts (@MarxinHell) July 8, 2020
One of the markers of canceling is that it is crowd action. Being canceled is not being fired, being jailed, being excommunicated. It can lead to these things, but they are separate acts, carried out by agents with official power. 1/10
Last week I gave a qualified defense of canceling on democratic grounds. Today I want to say something about this thread by Teresa Bejan.

(Prof. Bejan is going to be a colleague for a while this next year, so, COVID permitting, we\u2019ll be able to discuss this IRL.) 1/20 https://t.co/lHFbJIVUPa
I just had a very fruitful discussion (with some of the McGill poli sci grad students and my colleague @KrzPelc ) of @owasow's much discussed APSR paper, "Agenda Seeding: How 1960s Black Protest Moved Elites, Public Opinion, and Voting."

And I have questions!

1. An essay on Lissagaray and the Commune, forthcoming in @NCFS_journal
2. An essay on CLR James in The CLR James Journal
3. A small provocation on Rawls
I wish everyone a better year in 2021. See you on the flipside!
