Did the Justice Department Give President Biden Legal Advice on the CDC Eviction Moratorium?President Biden walking through the Rose Garden on June 23, 2021. (White House Photo by Adam Schultz) Last Tuesday the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) issued a new moratorium on evictions as part of an effort to fight the COVID pandemic. This represents a stark reversal from the administration’s repeated statements that the CDC lacked the statutory authority to issue such a moratorium. While most of the public controversy over the CDC’s action has been around its legality, another important question remains unanswered: what process did the Biden administration use to change its ... read more

Book Review: Practicing the Good: Desire and Boredom in Soviet SocialismIn a recent article, Maria Chehonadskih (2021) argues that the adjective ‘Soviet’ is today used as a `floating signifier’ either embracing totalitarian connotations of the Soviet State or positively referring to the event and legacy of the Russian Revolution. While appreciating the first decade after the Revolution as a period of avant-garde experimentation, Western Marxists still dismiss the Soviet experience of anti-capitalism after the Stalinist period. In fact, Soviet Marxist theories and practices from the 1960-70s are terra incognita for many contemporary Marxist theorists. read more
