One of my favourite podcasts at the moment

Better book.

I'm into some Max Weber atm. You?

Are we all just gonna ignore the thumbnail?

I mean, you'll find criticism of everyone. No one knows what interpretation is "the correct one" and frankly, thinking like that doesn't seem very Marxist to me. I've seen someone on here call Harvey a radlib for pointing out the contradiction that if capitalism would fall today, that would mean the global supply chain would break down and millions would die of starvation. I find that kind of vampire castle attitude very distasteful. You can't tell me Harvey misunderstood. He gave this class every year since like 1970. You can argue about the way he sees things. Sure. I mean, I don't always agree with what he says, but that is all together a different story. So yeah, dive in! See if you jive with what he says. If not, that will also help make clear in your head what your own position is and why. It's win-win!

Definitely! They have different views on certain interpretations and highlight different parts of the text. As for the Harvey stuff, there are two classes online. If you want to pick one I’d advise going for the most recent one. I try to do both as even there different parts of the text get highlighted. Good for you for getting into it! They all have introduction episodes that are supposed to set you up for starting.

If you ever feel like you’re struggling with an idea, or just want to bounce some thoughts off of someone, you are very welcome to DM me!

Get some Parenti in there

Half way through Capital, aided by David Harvey’s reading Capital class on YT and the Reading Capital with Comrades podcast.

Just started in Athe Making of Global Capital by Leo Panitch and Sam Gindin

Also just read an article called Why Class Matters by Lillian Cicerchia which I can’t recommend highly enough . Link:

It isn’t?

The thread is actually full of excellent tips!

I love how countries talking about making their own decisions is read as a veiled threat to US hegemony. I guess it kind of is.

Mental*

Yes. And also, add some goddamned class analysis to your metal palet please.

Can’t recommend it enough. Get a copy. You’ll fly through it.

Washington Bullets by Vijay Prashad. It’s all the stuff you kind of know about the CIA’s modus operandi, but summed up very plainly through a historical materialist approach

Comrades! I don’t post a lot, but it’s such a huge relief to me to know that there’s a community of people here that I don’t have to always explain (what is to me) the most basic shit to. Knowing you all have my back without even knowing who my am is a gift. Please know I have all of yours, too.

:heart-sickle:

I love you too, comrade!

...because they have more fascists

The truth is that Germans do not have souls and also that neither does anyone

I believe crabs are in order
