@mieinouye @PolTheoNetwork Hi Mie - I really enjoyed and learned from your reflection on my prophecy stuff, and am crafting a response...

[george shulman @shulman_george]

@bonnie_honig you started station eleven?

[george shulman @shulman_george]

@MRogers097 Melvin! I'm so so sorry for your loss. such a huge loss.

[george shulman @shulman_george]

@MRogers097 @AdomGetachew could not get access to it...

[george shulman @shulman_george]

@bonnie_honig Already looking forward to the new preface.

@leninology Hi Richard, my name is george shulman; a colleague of Nikhil's. I agree with you on danger, though he rightly sees the inertial forces. here is a link to a piece i wrote, you may find some resonances, and will also disagree.

@bonnie_honig @jktulis yes, big book, slowly, with supplemental readings along the way. for several years i did plato's republic and machiavelli , the two-book model. the focus is incredible and the class develops a shared language and reference

[george shulman @shulman_george]

@jktulis same with me - teaching moby and beloved - and i also have taught tocqueville and moby - and once i did the 3 together, which was the best.

i wrote a short piece about our political moment that was just posted at the Boundary 2 digital site. here is the link:

@michelleinbklyn Hi Michelle, my name is George Shulman, i teach political theory and american studies at NYU's Gallatin School and i appreciate your orientation on most issues. I wanted to send you something i wrote, 4000 words, do you ever accept such things? thanks

[george shulman @shulman_george]

@nikhil_palsingh endless frontiers - they won't let the myth die!

[george shulman @shulman_george]

@nikhil_palsingh happy birthday, Nihil!

[george shulman @shulman_george]

@jl_locke_ me, too, all rejections, which is more my norm, actually. i will have an at-home semester, and hope to complete a full draft of my impasse book. what are you going to work on?

[george shulman @shulman_george]

@bonnie_honig how did it go?? did you have fun??

[george shulman @shulman_george]

@nikhil_palsingh i appreciate you sharing how you feel. i feel brittle too,
like i wonder if i will or could dance again, and i loved dancing.. i would add fatigue to the litany, deep weariness, worn out. but as you say, there is so much to be grateful for, though i don't often enough feel it

[george shulman @shulman_george]

@nikhil_palsingh @joelowndes i remember it well :) i see huge opportunities: neo-liberalism and intervention discredited plus massive popular organizing. 'interregnum' thus seems a useful frame -what is dying what emerging, very fluid? I dont see trump as end of arc, that may be our big difference

[george shulman @shulman_george]

@nikhil_palsingh @joelowndes what is your objection to Toscana's "racial fascism" in the U.S. as compared to e.g. Du Bois "despotism" ?

[george shulman @shulman_george]

@nikhil_palsingh @joelowndes Who is the "we" moving left? half the electorate (and their children?) are not moving left, are armed, and are more than ever explicitly anti-democratic in basic senses. Anti- intervention has been more a right than left issue. deep anti-statism via individualism is not left.

[george shulman @shulman_george]

@nikhil_palsingh @joelowndes the great moving right show via Thatcher, seems different thing than what is going on here now. the F term is a problem because analogies with Germany are mostly false, but "right" or "authoritarian" is too bodiless or bloodless & obscures the reasons Toscana says racial fascism
