Todd McGowan joins the show once again, this time to discuss his newest book "Pure Excess: Capitalism and the Commodity". Together, he and Breht discuss commodity fetishism, the tensions between Marxism and psychoanalysis, what a critique of the subjective aspects of capitalism offers anti-capitalist politics, the "superstructural malaise" of late capitalism, Desire and Lack, capitalism's death drive, how to resist becoming a neoliberal subject, and much more.  "Drawing on psychoanalytic theory, McGowan shows how the production of commodities explains the role of excess in the workings of capitalism. Capitalism and the commodity ensnare us with the image of the constant fulfillment of our desires―the seductive but unattainable promise of satisfying a longing that has no end. To challenge this system, McGowan turns to art, arguing that it can expose the psychological mechanisms that perpetuate capitalist society and reveal the need for limits. Featuring lively writing and engaging examples from film, literature, and popular culture, Pure Excess uncovers the hidden logic of capitalism―and helps us envision a noncapitalist life in a noncapitalist society."

One of the pathologies that produce poverty in the current economic system is the simultaneous deification of things and reification of people: we invest divinity in material things, while people are treated as instruments toward profit. William T. Cavanaugh explores the Eucharist as an antidote to this idolatry. The Eucharist provides a better, sacramental way of seeing God's presence in the material world, while simultaneously offering an identification of people, especially the poor, with God in Christ.Speakers:William T. Cavanaugh, Ph.D., Professor of Catholic Studies and Director of the Center for World Catholicism and Intercultural Theology at DePaul University Jenny Newsome Martin, Ph.D., Department of Theology, University of Notre DameThanks for listening!

In this episode we welcome Gabriel Rockhill to the podcast to discuss his latest piece “The Myth of 1968 Thought and the French Intelligentsia: Historical Commodity Fetishism and Ideological Rollback” which is out this month, in the June issue of Monthly Review. Gabriel Rockhill is the Founding Director of the Critical Theory Workshop / Atelier de Théorie Critique, Professor of Philosophy at Villanova University, and the author or editor of nine books, as well as numerous articles and essays. Many listeners have asked us to read and possibly have a discussion about Rockhill's recent work in particular which has included critical articles on Foucault, Žižek, the Frankfurt School and what Rockhill describes as “The Global Theory Industry” within his work.  In this conversation we largely examine his most recent piece on the promotion of a certain sect of French intellectuals in the wake of the 1968 uprisings and strikes in Paris. Rockhill discusses the relationship or lack thereof that he sees between those thinkers who have been promoted as “68 Thinkers” and the actual activities of the period, the political decisions being made on the ground, and most urgently for Rockhill's concerns the incredibly vibrant worker movement of the period and the possibility of taking power and building a socialist project in France. We hope folks enjoy this discussion which also examines the relationship between those who organize for socialism, grassroots uprisings, and the process through which publishers, state actors, and the media recuperate and commodify upheaval and then freely associate it with thinkers that are compatible with the maintenance of the status quo which is being protested. Alongside this cultural project there is of course also the violent repression of the state both overtly and clandestinely. Along those lines Rockhill also discusses Operation Gladio.  We will include links to some of the projects that Rockhill mentions in the episode in the show notes, including the summer program at the Critical Theory Workshop. And of course if you appreciate what we do here at Millennials Are Killing Capitalism, please become a patron of the show. Our show is only possible due to the contributions of listeners like you.

Co-host Leigh M. Johnson is in the hot seat for this episode's discussion of digital afterlives. If we consider the "digital," information-based self to be distinguishable from the meatspace self, we should ask: how long can the Digital Me live on after my meatspace body dies? Technology already enables us to "re-animate" archives of personal information in many ways, and some futurists believe that we may, someday, be able to upload our consciousnesses to the cloud. Who owns that information? What are they currently allowed (or not allowed) to do with it? What would happen if we insisted that all of our information being "deleted" after we physically die?Whether or not you believe in a Heaven or Hell, all of us need to think more seriously about our digital afterlives. Rick, Charles, and Leigh work through some of that thinking-- and much more-- at the hotel bar!Check out the links below to learn more about thinkers and ideas referenced in this episode: Maggi Saven-Baden and Victoria Mason-Robbie, Eds., Digital Afterlife: Death Matters in a Digital Age (2020)  Rebecca Skloot, The Immoral Life of Henrietta Lacks (2011) origin of the term "meatspace" A visualization of the length of Terms of Service for 14 popular apps Tupac hologram performs with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre at Coachella 2012 "Facebook told to grant grieving mother access to daughter's account" (The Guardian, 2011) Black Mirror episode "Smithereens" (on IMDB, or watch the episode on Netflix) Marshall McLuhan, The Medium is the Message (2001) "Everything You Need to Know About Twitter Direct Messages" (Livewire, 2020) What is data anonymization?

For this week's interview I spoke with Mike Watson (@_leftaesthetics),  co-host of The Acid Left and author of “Towards a Conceptual Militancy” and “Can the Left Learn to Meme: Lessons for the cultural left, from cat memes to gaming, to Stranger Things, and more.” with an upcoming book “The Memeing of Mark Fisher: How the Frankfurt School Foresaw Capitalist Realism and What to do About It” coming out this September.During the episode we discuss Mike's research on the history of memes in art, his thoughts on how the Left can improve their memeing over the internet,  and the memetic strategies used in crypto that essentially function to hide what is actually happening with crypto investments. At the end we discuss a couple of specific memes which you can find on the page for this episode on the TBS site.SourcesMike Watson's siteArticle on commodity fetishism: "Commodity Fetishism, Feet Pics, and Ideology" Towards a Conceptual Militancy Can the Left Learn to Meme: Lessons for the cultural left, from cat memes to gaming, to Stranger Things, and more.If you liked the podcast be sure to give it a review on your preferred podcast platform.
