  • WR - What's Post Left? with 1Dime
    Jul 22 2025

    If you're serious about doing theory, making art, changing the world, or living well, we invite you to join us. https://theoryunderground.com/subscribe

    Theory Underground exists to cultivate the conditions necessary for a working class intellectual renaissance that goes beyond old political categories or other identitarian niches. At TU, autodidact workers with earbuds and professionals who see no future in existing institutions or movements are able to challenge their doxa and develop an understanding of the situation we are in. The aim of this work is to change the coordinates of thought, action, and organizing in American culture, so as to make possible large scale structural change for the sake of timenergy for all.

    If you subscribe at https://theoryunderground.com/subscribe you'll get access to a package of courses, including:

    12 Core Concepts with social theorist David McKerracher 12 Essential Political Theorists with political theorist Benjamin Studebaker The Philosophy of Nature with philosopher Nina Power

    Past courses include Intro to Marxism with Chris Cutrone, The Clinical Structures of Psychoanalysis with Leon Brenner, Intro to Lacan with Todd McGowan, and The Fault-Line Theory (Intro to Nick Land and Intro to Slavoj Zizek) with Michael Downs, as well as many more!

    The way these all get woven together at a deeper and more meta level is through the ongoing research seminars led by David McKerracher and Benjamin Studebaker, where they engage with one another’s work by sharing developments from their own perspectives, theory, and research.

    If you subscribe at higher levels and support our work, we'll support your development with bespoke teaching. Alone and unaided, we struggle to grasp our situation in its fullness and formulate a meaningful response. By working together and pooling our energies, we can do better.
