“You know that I have sacrificed my whole fortune to the revolutionary struggle, I do not regret it. Quite the contrary. If I had to begin my life over again, I would do the same.”
Marx letter to Paul Lafargue ( 13 August 1866 )

The real divide in academia isn’t between disciplines. It is between Marxists and non-Marxists—between those who see capitalism as the main source of humanity’s major problems and understand that overcoming it is essential, and those who don’t.
I was honored to write the Preface to this forthcoming book. This is a courageous and important critique of contemporary philosophy. Can't wait to share it with you all next month.

What’s happening in Syria?
Since Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), led by former ISIS member Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, took power in parts of Syria, there have been ongoing sectarian attacks against minority groups, particularly Alawites. Local sources have informed red. media that the situation escalated significantly yesterday. Pogroms targeting Alawite communities were reported not only in Latakia but also in other Syrian cities like Homs. Clashes were reported also in Al Sweyda a predominantly Druze area.
The primary reason behind these events is the deeply sectarian ideology of HTS, whose members hold Sunni supremacist beliefs. Although Jolani is attempting to present himself as a moderate leader to Western audiences—primarily aiming to remove sanctions and attract investment—the core of his organization remains rooted in extremist groups such as Al-Qaeda and ISIS. This dual strategy creates severe contradictions within HTS and poses an existential threat to minorities like the Alawites.
Several pro-HTS and anti-Assad media outlets and journalists have portrayed yesterday’s events as an attempted coup by Assad loyalists within the military. This narrative seems designed to delegitimize genuine self-defense measures by minorities who are resisting sectarian violence and pogroms.
Meanwhile, despite Israel actively carrying out military operations against Syria, Jolani and HTS’s military forces remain predominantly focused on attacking minorities rather than addressing external threats.
Palestinian revolutionary Shireen Said’s message on #InternationalWomensDay (March 08, 2010):
“ Firstly I would like to send greetings to all women who hold the banner of struggle against capitalism and imperialism and to say to them that our path is very long and hard and necessitates well-thought-out strategies. We shouldn’t forget that the capitalist system oppresses and exploits women and takes away their human dignity. Therefore we must adhere to our values of humanity and progressive politics as well as remain united and strong in the revolutionary left as the best means to achieve our ends. This is the only path to attain freedom, equality, and social justice for us, our families, and our children.”
