Ep 120 - Bob's Bürgerlichs
Added 2020-11-19 11:00:03 +0000 UTCJamie and Sean vibe on a number of topics, not limited to but including: feeling depressed, #DefundNYPD canvassing, and the latest bad discourse around "connecting with the working class." What's going to happen to millennials' politics when some of them inherit property? And a preview of a critique of democratic socialism.

2020-12-01 20:07:38 +0000 UTCI struggle with focusing for reading, and listening to audiobooks and audios of readings helped so much. Listen to the Communist Manifesto on YouTube to start. It’s only an hour and a half. And the audio brought it to life and helped me focus and comprehend!

2020-11-30 05:47:26 +0000 UTCJust wanted to say that I've found this show from watching majority report, and you guys are definitely helping to push me away from a soc dem perspective. Still haven't read marx or anyone really cause I barely read, but just wanted to say thanks 🙏

2020-11-30 05:44:57 +0000 UTCGood episode! I have a question for you guys about how you consider timescales and the environmental crisis looming. In terms of the transition from boomers to millennials of inheritance, personally it all seems secondary to the reality that the environment will just crash before that point. How does the environmental crisis typically affect your thought experiments about the future of class struggle?

2020-11-20 19:02:54 +0000 UTCThe claim Jamie makes about Capital becoming "the Bible of the working class" immediately upon its publication is completely wrong. Listen to Michael Heinrich's recent Yale/Franke lecture on YouTube; he talks a little bit about the "non-reception" of Capital in the years immediately after its publication.

2020-11-19 18:33:55 +0000 UTCPurity culture for class struggle is just as toxic as purity culture for sexual experiences. Acting like how tangible the result of your labor is should decide the class you're in is just gatekeeping that reduces effectiveness.
