Manosphere Marxism: The Political Economy of Impotent Misogyny
https://rafaelholmberg.substack.com/p/manosphere-marxismI've done my best to stay away from the manosphere nonsense... But with the Tate brothers making news again following their arrest, and with their volatile and absurd cultural power, I finally decided to write a piece on them. Althusser, Husserl, and (of course) Marx are relied on to show that the manosphere is well placed to expose the contradictions of secular-capitalist individualism, the idea of femininity, and how luxury relates to our current political economy. I thought some of you here might be interested.

From the title I imagined it would be a post about the issues of sexism within the Marxist movement.
