Great in Theory

There's definitely no reason any of my listeners would have to EVER deal with Tear Gas or anything, but just in case we do a dive into the science of this not-technically-a-gas and how it would be FOR SURE a war crime if used in war but its TOTALLY COOL that cops have it for sure for sure.

I talk with Joe Kassabian (@jkass99), author of the Hooligans of Kandahar and host of the Lions Led By Donkeys Podcast about his upcoming Science Fiction Novel, The Great Traitor (https://t.co/dtTDYDuwQY?amp=1) as well as the complicated nature of being a leftist veteran and our sometimes opposed viewpoints on what that means.

I'm joined by Adam (@ambinate on Twitter) to discuss the new world we live in, how we're coping, Marxist and Anarchist responses to a crisis, the dangers of fascism, and why you might need to shower twice the next time you use a public pool.

I try and avoid going crazy by talking with my good friends Val and Andrew.

I sit down with Valerie (@Otter_Weekend) and Andrew (@YOUWONTBELAFFIN) to discuss Marxist Class theory, along with the modern definitions of the Bourgeoisie, Petit Bourgeoisie, and Proletariat.

I'm joined by Cari Hernandez (@eatinginmycar) and Lloyd Howell (@voidhowler) to discuss types of Labor unions, freelancing, and how someone should give Lloyd a job.

We dive into Marx's concept of "Historical Modes of Production" and trace the path society takes through escalation of class contradiction.

A basic overview of a Marxist framing of Profit and Value, as well as the concept of the Means of Production.

A welcome to the Great in Theory Podcast where I give you a basic overview of what we'll be covering in this podcast series.
