Ep144: Commoners All! w/ Peter Linebaugh

Sean and Andy are honored to sit down with Marxist historian of the Transatlantic World and Anglo-Irish labor history, Peter Linebaugh, to discuss his 2019 book, "Red Round Globe Hot Burning: A Tale at the Crossroads of Commons and Closure, of Love and Terror, of Race and Class, and of Kate and Ned Despard".

What is revolutionary love? How were the commons enclosed? What's the connection between capital and the anthropocene? How can the racialization of proletarians be overcome? How do we wrest back the commons for ourselves?

This was a great conversation and we're really proud to present this episode.

Outro: Robert Johnson - Crossroads Blues

Comments

linebaugh's style is definitely "all over the place" in the best way. this makes it kind of hard to discuss in podcast format--but the book is very clear and rewarding

Broadly speaking he was talking about the continuity between the early colonial period and our time, how many of the factors shaping social relations then are still with us now.

Yeah to be totally honest I had the same thought. I'm sure the guy is smart but I didn't really know what his point was that he was trying to make

Leftovercraic

Did you listen to the same thing I did?

This dude was all over the place, had no idea the point he was trying to make.
