All translations of Marx done before 1951 are now in the public domain (in the US) and, if you believe Lacan, he was served much better by his translators than Freud was, probably because Marx's translators wanted make his ideas clear and Freud's wanted to make his obscure. — PolitiTweet.org

If people had to read Marx in German to have an authentic revolution, Mao, Che, Fidel, Chou, Biko, Fanon & Ho Chi Minh would never have read the Manifesto, Capital, the Grundisse, the 18th Brumaire, the German Ideology et al. Revolutions would've been lost for lack of translation — PolitiTweet.org

When Montana Republican Sen. Steve Daines interrogated Deb Haaland on why she co-sponsored a 2019 bill to protect a "healthy" population of grizzlies in perpetuity, Haaland responded: “I imagine, at the time, I was caring about the bears.” The effrontery of caring about bears! — PolitiTweet.org

She said, "Oh, I've never read Mansfield Park. We didn't actually read Austen in class, but criticism of her work." Alex called me and said, "Jeffrey, it's not our world anymore or anything like it." — PolitiTweet.org

This reminds me of a story that Cockburn told about one of his interns at The Nation. He was excited to learn that she was a Lit major at someplace like Oberlin. He asked her about her favorite class and she said a seminar in Austen. What'd you think of Mansfield Park, he asked. — PolitiTweet.org

Identity politics certainly has its problems, both as a coherent political philosophy and as a strategy for organizing political movements, but much of the criticism of "identity politics" turns out to be another, more rancid form, of identity politics. — PolitiTweet.org
