Cats and Marxism

Published: June 12, 2024, noon

Should Marxism be rooted in inter-species liberation? Or is it already, unbeknownst to most of us? Leigh Claire La Berge has delved into what she considers an unrecognized trove of evidence for Marxism\u2019s deep engagement with the feline as a way of making sense of class society \u2014 and what would be necessary to leap beyond it. She argues that the history of inter-species solidarity between radicals and cats (among other animals) is only now starting to be recuperated. \nResources:\nLeigh Claire La Berge, Marx for Cats: A Radical Bestiary Duke University Press, 2023\nThe post Cats and Marxism appeared first on KPFA.
