Judith Butler and Marxism demands confrontation, not comfort. It exposes the systems that dominate us all, where Butler's radical theories collide with Marxism's fiercest critiques. Care and vulnerability, far from passive states, emerge as tools of resistance capable of standing against capitalist brutalities. Their force continues to resist compliance.

Is Judith Butler a Marxist? Probably not. Can their work enrich Marxist thought? I once doubted it, but Mason and Moro's Judith Butler and Marxism has convinced me otherwise. This anthology reveals how Butler's work can deepen Marxist inquiry while simultaneously addressing important tensions between Butler's project and Marxist perspectives.

Judith Butler and Marxism offers critical theorists, long interested in the creative friction of reading Butler and Marx together, a fascinating collection of new essays. Reinterpreting performativity, vulnerability, and care, these essays advance a variety of Butlerian Marxisms with which to imagine new emancipatory assemblies for our times!

Is Judith Butler a Marxist philosopher? Hardly. However, as the contributions to this volume show, one may easily say that Butler is an ally to Marxist philosophy and that there can be no thinking of radical politics without their thought, especially in the domain of everyday life, life we have to live before the conditions for the revolution are met. Performativity read as a curse and a gift, interdependence read as internationalism, mutual aid and a method, vulnerability framed as agency, grievability framed in terms of value – all of these aim at expanding the domain of an entrenched debate, testing the possibilities of thinking together instead of thinking apart, or against. Judith Butler and Marxism gathers scholars who struggle to reframe the terms of the debate, honoring Butler's intellectual and political wisdom and vigor.
