Paul Cockshott and the idea of cybernetic Marxism-Leninism have gained some popularity here lately. What do you think of that?

You reproduced. Congrats! There's a good chance kids born now will suffer immensely due to global warming in a not so distant future. Is this an example of what Dupuy calls the crisis of our time, that people's knowledge [say, of global warming] don't translate into belief [thus acting accordingly]?

Marx and his foes. Was his treatment of Proudhon, Bakunin, Lassalle, Hess, etc. just?

Leftypol has a good number of young, even under 18 comrades. Many of them express the desire to study theory but confess having problems that hinder them: anxiety, medication, lacking reading comprehension skills (mostly due to horrible education systems), lacking the social support (reading isn't cool, and you miss out on social life), being overwhelmed and drained by the sensuous overload of late capitalism, and so on. As a guy who shits out 3 magnificently written tomes and learns two new languages a day, what kind of advice can you give to our young comrades?

Is there hope?

Would you consider getting Jehu on Zero Squared, maybe together with Varn and spark some debate (it seems their well-founded differences could spark interesting discourse), and would you in the same vein maybe consider resuscitating Pop the Left?

How come so many books written today are little more than glorified blogposts inflated with fluff that contributes nothing to the ideas expressed?

Thoughts on communization theory, accelerationism and xenofeminism?

Is it a problem that Marxism seems to have receded into academia and cultural critique? To what degree was this trend already present in the Second and Third Internationals, and the idea of the Proletariat as an "identity" that workers must identify with in order to organize. Or is this organizing of "workers" counter-intuitive, as the goal of Communism is the abolition of this class of "workers" all together. Basically, how do you feel about the Frankfurt School, Althusser, and the legacy of academic Marxism that seems predisposed towards identity based conceptions of class, and how do you feel about the similar political/activist wing of Marxism, and do you feel they too tend to view class too much as an identity?

Why has Marxism retreated back into academia and anarchism become the domain of lifestylists, both ending up funneling potential radicals towards liberal politics? Has this retreat from class struggle's front lines resulted in a left incapable of communicating with the working masses?

Thoughts on automation and its implications for the working class?

What would you say is the main difference between Zero Books and Verso Books?

How do you feel about post-Keynesianism and MTT? Also, are the ultras right to say that Keynesianism and Marxism-Leninism are not very dissimilar and belonging to the left wing of capital?

Noam Chomsky: just a liberal, or is he perhaps useful, and how does he compare to others like Slavoj Zizek? If not useful, do you think there was a time where he was?

Thoughts on the concept of a "left" accelerationism and accelerationism in general?

Thoughts on Maosim-Third Worldism and, if you are familiar, Jason Unruhe and his Maoist Rebel News?

Is authoritaranism good or bad, and were people like Bakunin and Goldman right to accuse Marx and Lenin of being authoritarians?
