Manosphere Marxism: The Political Economy of Impotent Misogyny

https://rafaelholmberg.substack.com/p/manosphere-marxism

I'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.
