Very excited that this is out! It'll be of interest to anyone who is interested in: 1) #nationhood & #nationalism; 2) the debate over Romanness in "#Byzantium"; & 3) critical #Marxist frameworks before & after capitalism. A short 🧵/1 academic.oup.com/past/advance-a…

Happy 207th birthday, Karl Marx! Our first deep dive into your work came in 1878. "Each new machine compels the workingman to give up more and more of his individual ability to the capitalist."
Happy May Day to all workers, waged and unwaged! Long live revolutionary internationalism, onwards to full communism in our lifetimes 🚩🏴 m.youtube.com/watch?v=rA9XVU…
We didn't and we will not forget the Armenian Genocide from the 24th April 1915. Our Brigade held the military ceremony on the 24th of April as a part of the commemoration. Within our struggle we held high the flag of freedom! #ArmenianGenocide #NubarOzanyan #Rojava #110years
Karl Marx passed away #OnThisDay in 1883. Alongside Friedrich Engels, he pioneered historical materialism, laying the theoretical foundation for the international socialist workers’ movement. Marx’s “Capital” still inspires critical minds around the world today.

📜 The handwritten pages of Abdullah Öcalan’s historic call for democracy and peace, that was delivered today. ☀️
Abdullah #Öcalan’s isolation may be coming to an end Öcalan remains key to a general peace and resolution process. He has recently declared his readiness for a peace process — under appropriate conditions. His freedom is an absolute necessity. buff.ly/411jYyZ
Seems quite "glass houses" for Trump, a reality star, to have a go at Zelenskyy for having been a comedian prior to becoming president.
Excited to announce I'll be editor for a new series at @ArcHumanities, The Afro-Eurasian Middle Ages, presenting 'the integrated study of the Afro-Eurasian “Old World”, in its formative millennium'. Share widely, and get in touch if you have ideas! arc-humanities.org/the-afro-euras…
Today UNISON’s Women’s Conference passed a motion stating “That Trans Women are women and Trans men are men, all our LGBT+ comrades must be respected.” Not one delegate spoke against. In a world of increasing hate and division, I’m proud that our union is a beacon of unity 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️✊
Great news! Well done to the student organisers in Edinburgh and across the UK. Arms companies have no place on campus any time, let alone in the midst of genocide profiteering. thetab.com/2025/02/10/def…
