Cornelia Goethe Colloquia

The capitalist polycrisis appears to be relentlessly intensifying: there is the climate crisis, the crisis of democracy, the drift toward fascism, anti-feminist and racist backlashes, necropolitical border regimes, militarization and war, autonomous weapon systems and cognitive warfare, growing poverty and wealth inequality, mass unemployment, AI-driven automation—the list goes on. Another item on this list would be defeatism and the belief that the underlying capitalist social order is irreversible.
