Class politics in New York and beyond.

My name is Matt Thomas, and I’m a writer and researcher based in Manhattan. I was active with NYC-DSA for a number of years and worked on several campaigns for socialist candidates for local office, both successful and unsuccessful. I’ve also worked on a number of issue-based campaigns for unions here in the city over the years.

Vulgar Marxism is where I share my reflections on New York politics, as well as the opportunities and challenges facing the left as we seek to build working-class power across the state.

Where to find me.

Having successfully broken my social media addiction, the only place you’ll find me posting any content is right here. If you like, you can also contact me via email at matthewthomaspress[at]gmail.

How to help.

The research I do for this newsletter requires quite a bit of time, attention, and persistence. There’s no paywall, but I greatly appreciate the support of those able to purchase a low-cost monthly subscription.
