Thinking the Unthinkable/Global Realities: Eleven Theses on Marx's Eleventh Thesis

Marx's Eleventh Thesis has long been code for the social theorist's duty ultimately to do more than think to world. Global realities early in the twenty-first century have rendered the Eleventh Thesis feeble if not futile. There is no singular "world" (not a trivial fact). Social thought must encounter a series of Unthinkables that Marx himself understood to a degree but, in the Eleventh Thesis, as in all of his general and specific politic advice, believed were not definitive barriers to what amounted to liberal politics that history has proven will always be thwarted by the resisted of regressive forces.
