His intellectual output constitutes nothing less than the (re)entry of Stalinism into the realm of philosophy.

debatable if it’s slop or theory, but probably comrades will soon meet these arguments in the wild, and not that one has to abandon all theoretical considerations over geopolitical realism of the 20th century.

although it’s all rather useless, treatlerism stays undefeated whether one thinks stalin was correct or not, got money from cia or not, decided to become culture critic or not

    So if I quote Aristotle I am an Aristotelian, and “upholding” the Peripatetic?

        I think New International is very clearly a big-tent radical leftist journal. Most people on the left, including most self-described Marxists, do not agree with Losurdo. Nor are they as supportive as Losurdo is of what you call “socialism as it exists in real life”.

          No, lol. The vast majority of Marxists globally support AES, you’re conflating western ultraleftism with all of Marxism. Losurdo is celebrated for his contributions to Marxism, see my other comment going over why.
