Justin Murphy

George Floyd is Jesus for atheists.

Justin Murphy is a fascist. He’s not a proper racist, or a proper misogynist, or a proper anti-Semite. He’s not a Nazi or even a bigot. He’s not a screeching demagogue or a violent terrorist or a crass, acidic ironist. But what he is, simply, is just a proper structural fascist. He’s polite and fluent in the manners of the academic Left, which makes him difficult to pin down. His fascism is chic-Deleuzian. Beneath his ostensibly post-political attachment to “nomadic,” “barbarian” online movements lies a younger, more nuanced iteration of the “Intellectual Dark Web” brand of politics. Petersonian, anti-SJW, postmodern, authoritarian performance art.

Justin Murphy is the given name of a self-described Leftist philosopher who is educated in sociology and an author of ideological ideas which he describes as e.g. Aristocratic Communism.

Dr Justin Murphy BA, Temple University, 2008; PhD, 2014, Temple University Lecturer in Governance and Policy is a theoretician, interviewer (e.g. on his podcast «The Other Life»), blogger, social media OC poster and commentator, essayist, live video and podcast maker, educated as a Political Scientist, professor, who "works mostly on questions related to information technology, ideology, and behavior; and whose work has been published in scholarly journals such as British Journal of Political Science and popular outlets such as Foreign Affairs." Currently [as of Apr 7, 2018], Murphy states, he is "most interested in ideological heterogeneity within the left-right divide and the ideological placement of internet subcultures. I am Assistant Professor at the University of Southampton." "I work to theorize a universalist emancipatory politics consistent with the eclipse of human agency by non-human superintelligences. My work has been published in scholarly journals such as IEEE Intelligent Systems and Parrhesia, and many independent online outlets such as Plan C and Vast Abrupt. I approach these problems from a social-scientific perspective but also from extensive personal experience with left-wing political activism."

Dr Justin Murphy is Lecturer in Governance and Policy within Politics & International Relations at the University of Southampton.

Other Projects

"I always have a few creative projects running, to counteract the stodgy respectability of my academic work. I'm currently most enthusiastic about blogging and my podcast, called Other Life. I maintain a little newsletter to share private updates on my work and life, called The Art and Science of Overthrowing All Currently Existing Institutions. For a few years, I previously worked under the pseudonym Barclay Shields. I sometimes post Youtube videos."
