About Mike Curtis

Mike started out as an academic mathematician and computer scientist before succumbing to the urge to build things and becoming a software engineer. He is a lifelong socialist and since retirement has tried, in a small way, to shine some light through the fog of misinformation and disinformation that surrounds us. He likes to use poetry for its direct path to emotions, to stimulate the search for truth. He can be found on twitter @thecyberred, Facebook as thecybersocialist, and the occasional essay at www.thecybersocialist.red. He may also be contacted directly at mike[at]thecybersocialist.red.

Monthly Review Essays

  • Marxism and STS: From Marx and Engels to COVID-19 and COP26
    Helena Sheehan The Soviet delegation at the International History of Science Congress in London, 1931: Nikolai Bukharin, Modest Rubenstein, and Boris Hessen in the foreground.

    At the recent conference of the Society for the Social Study of Science, I came to the conclusion that the history of Marxism in relation to science and technology studies is an increasingly forgotten story.

  • Moving Beyond Capitalist Agriculture: Could Agroecology Prevent Further Pandemics?
    Rob Wallace Moving Beyond Capitalist Agriculture

    The current complex of COVID-induced crises fits hand-in-glove with the system’s “normal” operation. Stability has been the delusional realm of a small sliver of the Global North, awash in post-World War Two imperialism and the repeated reinvention (and re-imposition) of various plantation systems of cheap and racialized labor.

Lost & Found

  • Boring From Within the Bourgeois Press: Part One
    A. Kent MacDougall "This is the president of McDonnell Douglas speaking…welcome aboard the Titanic…."

    Eugene V. Debs may be my all-time favorite American and Karl Marx my all-time favorite journalist. But my employer for a decade was The Wall Street Journal, and for another decade it was the Los Angeles Times.
