Confronting Fascism
How did socialists in interwar Europe interpret fascism as it was evolving in the period? Taking a broad sociology of knowledge approach, this article examines the significant variety and complexity of socialist interpretations of fascism, but also the ways in which organisational interests, competitive intersocialist relations, and situational forces shaped and constrained these analyses. Furthermore, it explores the ways in which socialist defe…
Centrist utopianism in retreat
This article explores utopian dimensions and reality problems in the intellectual production of leading Anglophone public intellectuals and policymaking institutions of Western capitalism. We argue that from the close of the 1990s, but especially in the wake of the Great Financial Crisis of 2007–2009, elite discourse has splintered into three core strands or moments: first, a post-hegemonic, punitive neoliberalism of austerity, which retreats fro…
Peter Beilharz as intellectual
Christianity Without Guarantees
This review essay critically examines Hannah Strømmen and Ulrich Schmiedel’s The Claim to Christianity, an activist intervention that seeks to explicate and contest the theologies running through far-right claims to Christianity. While importantly focused on the semantic struggle for Christianity, refusing to interpret the presence of Christianity in far-right ideology as mere instrumentalisation, and espousing a critical Christianity without gua…
The Christian Question
Roland Boer’s five-volume work, On Marxism and Theology (2007–2013), explores the connections between Marxism and Christianity. In this interview, Boer speaks about some of the pressing issues and knotty questions raised in the series. Beginning with questions of Boer’s intellectual and political formation, of previous work on the Marxism–Christianity link, and contemporary claims about the return of religion, the discussion moves to the treatmen…
Post-Marxism with substance
Circling Marx is both a window on to the forces and concerns that have shaped Thesis Eleven over four decades and an intellectual portrait of the singular post-Marxism of one of its leading thinkers. Beilharz emphasises the existence of multiple Marxes but leans towards a Marx who suggests an expanded materialism, a non-Bolshevik Marx, and a Marx of motion, rather than laws. Addressing Marxism and socialism more widely, Beilharz again underscores…

Review of Marco Revelli, The New Populism. A detailed account of the erosion of the liberal centre and the spread of populism across the United States, United Kingdom, and continental Europe
The Future in the Past”
This essay examines the core ideas and contemporary relevance of anarcho-primitivism, a current of ultra-leftist thought that flourished between the mid 1980s and mid 1990s. The influences of anarcho-primitivism can be traced to periods from the late nineteenth century to the Great War and from 1945 to the mid 1960s, with challenges to conventional leftism issued by thinkers such as Jacques Camatte. In place of a narrow criticism of capitalism an…
The Utopian Constellation
Facing the new fascism
Reflecting on Post-Fascism
It has been suggested that, today, with the growth of Right-populism and white nationalism, Western nations are haunted by the spectre of fascism. This article explores the consolidation of a 'post-fascist constellation', through attention to utopia. The argument proceeds by way of a discussion of utopia as method, beginning with a survey of the utopian turn across the human sciences, and closing with seven theses on utopia as human scientific op…
Remembering communism
Expressions of a current "Marx renaissance", the three books under review in this article raise crucial questions about memory, knowledge, and power for a new global Left. Traverso's reflections on Left future-oriented memory, Favilli's history of Italian Marxism, and Bourrinet's work on the Dutch and German communist Left explore a variety of "forms of Marxism". Most centrally, the three works raise still vital questions around Marxism and relig…
Across and Beyond the Far Left
This essay explores the work of French ultraleftist Gilles Dauvé. Situating his contribution against a discussion of left communism as a unified intellectual-political current, it identifies and discusses three crucial moments in Dauvé’s work. A first moment, 1969–1979, sees Dauvé attempting to critically draw together council communist, Bordigist, and situationist contentions into a unified and unique communist perspective. During a second momen…
Beyond Post-Socialism
The return of interest in socialism and the critique of capitalism make Beyond Post-Socialism a timely work. The book explores the critical-theoretical and utopian contribution of a number of far-Left
Reflections on Wallerstein
Nearly four decades have passed since the publication of Immanuel Wallerstein's first volume of The Modern World-System. Wallerstein and world-systems analysis are frequently viewed, on the one hand, as successful and firmly established, and, on the other, as of largely historical interest, surpassed by a number of new realities and theoretical paradigms. This article seeks to restate the contemporary importance of Wallerstein's project. It begin…
‘Communism … is the affirmation of a new community’
This article explores the work of the primitivist communist Jacques Camatte. Camatte emerges from the Bordigist current of Marxism, and the article begins with an examination of the major emphases in Amadeo Bordiga’s thought: the central role of the party as ‘social brain’; the critique of democracy and electoral activity; the rejection of individualism, and the insistence on the social, community-centred character of communism. This background i…
Anarchism as the Contemporary Spirit of Anti-Capitalism? A Critical Survey of Recent Debates
In the past decade or so, a sizable literature on anarchism has appeared. It has often been attached to the newer movements associated with alternative globalization and with post-modern theoretical currents. This literature is of significant interest for those working within the areas of social and political theory, globalization studies, and social movements. This article critically surveys the literature. It starts by examining the devices use…
Politics, Social Theory, Utopia and the World-System
It is common to hear that we live in unique, turbulent and crisis-ridden times and this turbulence, transformation and crisis are said to be deeply significant - perhaps threatening - for the human sc
Post-Marxist Trajectories
In this article, I examine the troublesome notion of “post-Marxism.” First, I read post-Marxism as an expression of the transformations entailed by our post-1968 entry into what world-systems thinkers call “an age of transition.” Second, drawing on Tormey and Townshend's work, I explore the thematic unity of post-Marxism in terms of six problems posed to Marxism—the problems of history, revolutionary subjectivity, ethics, positivism, vanguardism,…

Critical theories of globalization
This book provides a comprehensive overview of globalization and its consequences. Exploring the insights of a wide range of critical theorists, it book argues that debates about globalization cannot be divorced from struggles for emancipation or from the contradictory realities of contemporary society.
