About individual writings
In Der Bewegungste Marx (2008), a study that Reitter wrote together with Gerhard Hanloser , the authors criticize the fact that so-called circulation Marxism only bases its concept of capitalism on the first three chapters of Das Kapital and thus does not sufficiently criticize the conditions of exploitation .
In processes of liberation. Marx, Spinoza and the Conditions of the Free Community (2011) is essentially about the relationship between productive power (Marx) and activity capacity (Spinoza) on the one hand and the contrast between autonomy / self-determination and heteronomy / external determination on the other. In the “River Notes” of the How Up-to-Date is Spinoza's Political Thought Really ? Reitter comes to the assessment that Spinoza in his theological-political treatise is primarily concerned with "preventing the appeal to religion from attacking the political sovereignty of the community."
Reitter was an editorial member of the magazine grundrisse, which was discontinued in 2014 . Reitter has been an editorial member of the monthly magazine Volksstimme since 2015 .
