A Cosmic Love That Burns: Black Radicalism Toward the End of the World.

The article explores the concept of "interregnum," a term used by Antonio Gramsci to describe a period of political and social instability where old ideologies lose legitimacy and new ones have yet to emerge. It discusses how this state can lead to both radical mobilization and the rise of fascism, particularly in the context of Black radicalism and the critiques of Marxism by figures like Aimé Césaire and Frank Wilderson. The author argues that the phrase "the end of the world," as used by Wilderson, signifies a revolutionary potential that challenges existing political frameworks and emphasizes the need for a radical reimagining of Black identity and liberation. The essay ultimately posits that the end of the world is not a distant event but a present force that calls for action against anti-Blackness and the structures of oppression.
