Marx, Again!: The Spectre Returns (2016)

DeepSeek:

"The Implied Message: A "non-Marxist Marx" can be liberated from dogmatic Marxism to provide the philosophical tools for criticizing today's triumphant capitalism.

Fusaro argues that the post-1989 world is not "post-ideological" but is dominated by a single, fanatical ideology: capitalism. In this book, he aims to rescue Marx from his 20th-century institutionalization. He presents Marx not as a dogmatic economist but as a Hegelian and Fichtean Idealist . The core idea is that Capital, Volume I, is a philosophical work demonstrating how capitalism creates its own gravediggers by fostering in the exploited the revolutionary self-consciousness needed to overcome it . The ultimate message is that we must "reprogram" Marx's thought to forge a "cosmopolitan communitarianism" as a viable alternative to neoliberal capitalism."

The Place of Possibility: Toward a New Philosophy of Praxis (2017)

The Implied Message: Capitalism's primary power is its claim to be inevitable. The first act of resistance is to rediscover that reality can be changed through passionate, collective action.

This book's central target is what Fusaro calls "Market Monotheism" —the belief that there is no alternative to the current system . The synopsis argues that modern power no longer claims perfection; it simply denies the existence of alternatives, presenting itself as an immutable natural force . The implied message is that philosophy's task is to break this spell. By rethinking the world as "history and possibility," people can transform themselves from passive subjects into "passionate rebels" . The goal is a "city of the future" based on genuine, universal freedom."

Glebalization: Class Struggle at the Time of Populism

(2019, rights sold to Arktos Media)

The Implied Message: Globalization is a lie; it is actually "glebalization"—the creation of a new global serfdom—against which the only hope is a sovereign, nationalist, and socialist populism.

This book contains Fusaro's most politically explicit and controversial messages . He argues that the world is split between a "global-elite" (Master) and a "national-popular" mass of precarious workers (Serf) . The term "globalization" is an ideological cover for the "removal of rights on a planetary scale" . The implied message is that the progressive intellectual class has betrayed the people by serving this globalist elite .

The only viable solution is a "revolt of sovereign populism" . This involves creating a new international solidarity, but one based on an alliance of sovereign, democratic, and socialist nations, not a cosmopolitan, borderless world . It's a call for a left-wing nationalism that rejects both the EU and the U.S.-led global order."
