Thrilled to be in Manchester for this conference, presenting my paper and discussing what I enjoy the most: transnational networks of socialist & communist women, their radical friendships and fascinating international gatherings.

Almost there! Looking forward to meeting the team, and to sharing my initial thoughts on social democratic women's political thought in Belgrade and Ljubljana, and their (un)expected trajectories in the interwar period 🤓

A funny, funny man.

German academia disgraces itself again. All solidarity with Camila Vergara for standing up against apartheid and genocide

This tweet reminded me of when I posted this image and a bunch of Germans got super pissed at me.

We already know exactly how Karl Marx would have "covered the events of October 7" from his commentaries on the Indian Rebellion of 1857:

Zetkin: 'Earlier, we emphasised how modern individual sexual love emerges as a passionate rebellion against patriarchal monogamy [...] Most people still cling to the form of marriage, but the old respect for it has been lost.' patreon.com/marxismtransla…

Maria Lischnewska (1854-1938): 'the existing form of marriage is in all respects geared towards the woman of the past.' Maria Lischnewska On Marriage Reform (1909) – Marxism Translated
