At the outset of Marx for Cats Leigh Claire La Berge declares that all history is the history of cat struggle. Revising the medieval bestiary form to meet Marxist critique La Berge follows feline footprints through Western economic history to reveal an animality at the heart of Marxism. She draws on a twelve-hundred-year arc spanning capitalism's feudal prehistory its colonialist and imperialist ages the bourgeois revolutions that supported capitalism and the communist revolutions that opposed it to outline how cats have long been understood as creatures of economic critique and liberatory possibility. By attending to the repeated archival appearance of lions tigers wildcats and sabo-tabbies La Berge argues that felines are central to how Marxists have imagined the economy and by asking what humans and animals owe each other in a moment of ecological crisis La Berge joins current debates about the need for and possibility of eco-socialism. In this playful and generously illustrated radical bestiary La Berge demonstrates that class struggle is ultimately an interspecies collaboration.
