This episode featured a conversation with Rahul Sonpimple, founder of the All-India Independent Scheduled Castes Association. Our conversation began with Rahul's conception of Indian history and the place of anti-caste struggle within it. We delved further into Rahul's own understanding of “anti-caste” as deeply rooted in Ambedkar's own argument about the necessity of force in emancipatory social transformation. Rahul was especially forthright about the political cost of elevating meekness as a moral condition, a choice that he associates with the rise of a Dalit middle class focused primarily on securing its own representational authority. This took us to a discussion of the need for an independent and consolidated Dalit politics rooted in the lives of the Dalit poor with sufficient leverage to negotiate terms with the state. The last part of the episode focused on Rahul's critique of both Ambedkarites and Indian Marxists for their disregard of caste as a material question. He spoke at particular length about the failure of Indian Marxists to advance a materalist critique of caste and how their analytical separation of caste and class has played into the hands of the Hindu Right. We ended the episode with Rahul laying out his own definition of Ambedkarism as a material and spiritual politics that recognizes the Dalit poor as a revolutionary class with the potential to rebuild society.

Episode 4182 │ July 15, 2026 When you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. Matthew 6 knew the machine before the machine existed. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Scott Kesterson opens with a discussion of a December 2005 documentary project at Devils Point — a Portland strip club where weeks of trust, transparency, and real relationship collapsed the moment release forms appeared and visibility entered the room — and carries that lesson forward twenty years to a truck full of hot meals and a camera that never should have come out. The episode moves through Karl Marx's theory that human relationships under enough pressure resolve into commodity exchange, the three unsolvable problems that survive even the most careful attempt to film an act of kindness without exploitation, and Jon Bon Jovi's Soul Kitchen in New Jersey as a genuine ongoing effort to hold two things that don't want to be held together — the reach to tell the story and the refusal to let the story become the point. Anchored by Proverbs 27:21 and Matthew 6:1–6 (NASB 1995), the episode closes on the only things left standing outside the attention economy: the meal no one filmed, and the prayer no one heard. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED Who actually benefits from a filmed act of kindness — the person being fed, the person doing the feeding, the platform, or the follower count — and what is the motive underneath the motive? What does a camera do to the moment it enters — and why does consent not just protect people, but change what it is protecting before a single frame is ever shot? Can the tools of social media carry an act of kindness without feeding it into the machine those tools are built to run — and what does it cost to refuse?

History class is back in session on the Breitbart News Daily Podcast and Professor Mike Slater is here to give you the straight scoop on the VILE Karl Marx and how his philosophical offspring of Marxism (AKA Communism) is GARBAGE FOR LOSERS as well. Don't miss this one as you'll definitely be hearing more about this crazy crap in more and more modern political contexts! Following that opener, Slater speaks with Vivek Ramaswamy about his candidacy to be the state of Ohio's next Governor before chatting with Michael Whatley, former RNC Chairman, about his quest to be the next great U.S. Senator from North Carolina. These two are GREAT examples of the type of people that Republicans will be putting into power in 2027 and beyond. MAGA! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Alan Skorski recently interviewed ordained Minister and Heritage Foundation Visiting Fellow, Luke Moon, who returned to Heritage following the Tucker Carlson fiasco last year, in which President Kevin Roberts initially refused to distance the think tank from Tucker Cralson, following his interview with Holocaust denier, racist groyper, Nick Fuentes. During the interview, Moon said that he had several conversations with Carlson, who sought his counsel on how to shed the “antisemitism” label. After advising Carlson on the necessary steps needed to redeem himself, “Tucker doubled down on his antisemitism,” according to Moon. Luke returned to Heritage as a Visiting fellow to combat antisemitism, from both the right and left. Moon spent last decade focusing his attention on raising awareness about persecuted Christians in the Middle East and encouraging Christian support for Israel and the Jewish people. During the interview, Moon spoke about the Marxist/Islamist alliance. While taking about Wisconsin Gubernatorial candidate and other DSA candidates, the frequent refrain is, " "None of us are free until Palestine is free." Moon asks, "Why is it important for the DSA activists and candidates to declare this idea? It is because the liberation of Palestine means the end of Israel. And Israel is a stand-in for God. To destroy Israel is to destroy God which would bring about liberation from God's commands and expectations." Israel is the living testimony that the God of the Bible makes promises and keeps them. You cannot look at a reconstituted Jewish state in the ancient homeland — after two thousand years of exile — and call it a coincidence. It is a provocation to every worldview that denies a sovereign God who acts in history. Karl Marx was once asked who he hated the most in Britain and his answer was a British preacher named Charles Spurgeon. Spurgeon was a revivalist preacher who was leading thousands of working-class people to faith and taking away Marx's army. Marx hated him for it. Similarly, the Islamists demand total submission to Allah. The God revealed in scripture, particularly through Israel and the Church, is a rival truth claim that must be suppressed. When Islamists come to power, the churches and synagogues are destroyed. The ones that aren't destroyed are turned into museums or government-controlled PR outlets. Back in 2014, when I started advocating for Christians in the Middle East, there were over 450,000 Christians in Iraq. Twelve years later, there are less than 185,000. There are more Christians in Israel than Iraq. Alan Skorski Reports 16JULY2026 - PODCAST
Germania Rodriguez Poleo — journalist, writer, and Venezuelan exile — escaped her country at age 11 after the Chavez regime accused her mother of terrorism, tortured their bodyguard to death, shot at their car, and raided their home. She arrived in Miami as a refugee. Then she went to NYU and voted for Bernie Sanders in the primary. Her Reason magazine article "My Family Fled Socialism. Then I Voted for Bernie Sanders." tells the story of how that happened — and how she found her way back out. She's also the narrator of the documentary Escaping Venezuela. We covered: her mother's escape on a boat to Curacao and what Interpol red notices actually do to dissidents; the Pinochet whataboutism that follows every conversation about left-wing atrocities; what NYU taught (and didn't teach) about communism, socialism, and US foreign policy; why the pipeline from wealth and privilege to socialism is real and why it matters who makes the culture; the DSA's old platform calling for nationalization of media — and what that looks like in practice in Venezuela; the 32 Cuban soldiers killed protecting Maduro when the US captured him; the 2024 Venezuelan election that was stolen in plain sight; the recent earthquake with 40,000 missing while the dictatorship reports 3,000 dead; why she believes the US should be the policeman of the world; and the tragedy of exile — what it means to have your entire family legacy erased.

The factors behind the widespread success of Democrat Socialist candidates in races across the U.S. is being heavily examined by both parties and political experts who warn this trend can lead to great harm for American culture. New York City elected a socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, and three socialist congressional candidates he endorsed, and out west, Seattle also elected a socialist mayor, with Colorado too unseating a longtime Democrat with socialist congressional candidate. While these politicians identify as socialist, some point out that to the authors of the communist manifesto, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels - socialism and communism is interchangeable. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Mike Gonzalez, the Angeles T. Arredondo E Pluribus Unum Senior Fellow at The Heritage Foundation, and co-author of 'Next Gen Marxism: What Is It And How To Combat It'', who warns that a one "vicious cycle" is currently dominating American politics which could lead to "communists in double digits" serving in Congress.

On this day, 7 July 1864, Filipino labour leader Isabelo de los Reyes was born in Vigan. He became a journalist and opponent of Spanish colonial rule, for which he was jailed and tortured. He was then deported to Spain and held in the infamous Montjuic Castle in Barcelona, alongside many anarchist political prisoners.In 1901 he was allowed to return to the Philippines, and he brought with him a library of books by socialists like Karl Marx and anarchists like Mikhail Bakunin. He founded the Unión Obrera Democrática Filipina, and helped organise several strikes.See our timeline of his life and activism on our Stories app, including sources and maps: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/tag/9461/isabelo-de-los-reyesOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

It's been said that you can spot an American from a mile away. Travelers to Europe are advised to adjust their attire to blend in with locals and avoid looking so … casual. The French think Americans are loud and rude, and Europe has a long tradition of sneering at how classless we all are, even before Trump.I spent a month in Italy, and it's a beautiful place. The slow living, the long naps when all the stores shut down for hours during the day, the tiny cars, the laundry drying on the balconies, the fresh food at the Farmer's Market. I feel lucky that when I came back from Italy, I was pregnant and having my baby is the single greatest thing that has ever happened to me. But I'm also glad she grew up in America.I used to travel to France to cover the Cannes Film Festival, and again, I admired their way of life, the food especially. But every time I stayed too long, I began to miss my home in America. There is something thrilling about living in a free country that I've never felt anywhere else.It seems to me that if you are born here, you make up your life as it goes along. It is not planned out for you, necessarily, although in some cases, I guess it probably is. In my case, it wasn't. I knew I could invent myself any way I wanted. And if I didn't like that version, I could reinvent myself. We're like our country, a work in progress. It's always there for the taking, that promise of opportunity.Donald Trump is all of America's freedoms wrapped up in one imperfect man. He broke through the thick layer of oppressive thought and speech and showed the world that here, you really can say anything you want - as long as some crazed totalitarian doesn't try to shoot you. That's the country I want to live in. It isn't that the greatest writing or art has come from a place like America. Plenty of great works have come from places that don't center freedom as their main objective. But once you've tasted it, you can't give it up.In his speech last night, Trump said:The American founding represents the best ideas and traditions in history by the best people, like you. You can be loyal to Karl Marx or you can be loyal to America. You can be a communist or you can be a patriot. You cannot be both. As for those who peddle Marxist lies about our heritage, tell our children that we live on stolen land or that our heroes were oppressors, they're doing something much worse than slandering our past. They are slandering and attacking our future. Not going to let that happen.They're trying to tear down the great American character to destroy the people who declared independence, who crossed the Delaware, who settled the West and conquered the skies. You know who those people are. But we will never let that happen.In America now, two stories are competing to claim the right to rule the future. Trump is telling the better story, the one America was founded on and the one we've all believed, at least up until recently, when a new wave of progressives decided that the better story paints America as a corrupt, rotten, white supremacist empire that has to be torn down to the studs and rebuilt.They must be terrified about the 2030 Census because they've decided to die on the hill of illegal immigration, which is fast becoming their most important issue. That, alongside Democratic Socialism, is a recipe for disaster.This was Bill Clinton's bummer message on the Fourth:I always thought Bill Clinton was a good president, but reading that just now makes me think he wasn't. All he's ever been able to do is point the finger at the other side and never offer any real solutions. He's not the man in the arena. He's the man on the sidelines.What I love about Trump and his supporters is how much they love America. They love it so much that they plant flags all over their homes. They admire the Founding Fathers. They call themselves Patriots. We didn't have that kind of pride on the Left when I was growing up.And even now, so many see the American flag and the love of country as dangerous, racist, bigoted, fascist. Whoever told those people that is what MAGA is about lied. They're protective of America's laws and its border. That is out of love for the country. The Left has taken almost everything from them. They've locked them out of culture, forbidden them from participating in any of their major events, dehumanized, demonized, and disenfranchised them. But the one thing they couldn't take was their citizenship. They hit the jackpot just by being born in America. To think it would be so easy for people all over the world to come here illegally and claim that prize or to come here and attempt to remake America into something it was never meant to be devalues the one thing they treasure most of all. I've always been a proud American. I've always preferred this country over any other, but only in the last few years have I understood what it means to be a Patriot, to be ready to fight for the country I love. And that is because of the people I've gotten to know on the Right.This country is worth fighting for. I might not agree with all of the policies on the Right, or even Trump himself, all of the time, but I'd rather have the future of this country in the hands of people who love it the way Trump does than people who hate it, the way so many on the Left do, just because their candidates are weak and their policies are toxic. I wanted to write 250 things I love about America, but it got too long, so this will have to do. Here are just some of the things I love:I love the interstates as part of the great legacy of Dwight D. Eisenhower.I love the Pacific Ocean because it stretches along the state. I love Catalina Island off the California Coast, where I spent many a summer with my best friend.I love seeing our history in the many cultures that came here, like Chinatown, Little Italy, Mexican food in LA, soul food in the South, Irish bars and pubs in the middle of nowhere. And yes, you can appreciate a nation of immigrants while still policing our borders now.

Der hældes historisk meget kapital i den såkaldte AI-boble. Vi har set flere spekulationsbobler briste gennem tiden, men AI-boblen skiller sig ud. Når den nuværende boble springer, vil det have enorme konsekvenser for vores økonomi og vores infrastruktur i samfundet. Som vi har set det fra alle andre kriser under kapitalismen, er der én klasse, som vil blive presset til at betale regningen: arbejderklassen. Men hvad vil det egentligt sige at spekulere? Og hvorfor opstår spekulation under kapitalismen? Hvad er særligt ved den nuværende AI-boble i den tid, vi lever i? Disse spørgsmål, og mange flere, kan du blive klogere på i det tredje og sidste afsnit i serien om marxistisk økonomi. Vil du også gøre en ende på kapitalismens anarki, kaos og kriser?

Dimes and Judas discuss the recent puzzling attempted mass shooting in Montreal, Trump resolving the gender discourse while losing on every other conceivable issue, and the civilizational catastrophe of no air conditioning in Europe. After exploring whether or not Elon Musk is personally responsible for the deaths of hundreds of millions of African children, they review the book “The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge” by Jean-François Lyotard. They explain the effect postmodernism has on processing information and, most importantly, how the marketplace of ideas has distanced us from what “knowledge” actually is. While attacking universal narratives they are forced to reconcile what narratives actually are. Lastly, on this edition of The Copepranos Society, Dimes speaks with Ernst J. van Zyl (AKA Conscious Caracal) the Head of Public Relations at AfriForum and popular creator focusing on South African Politics. They discuss the history of AfriForum, the broader Solidarity movement, and what lessons can be learned from South Africa, a country ahead of the curve when it comes to anarchotyranny and racial conflict.

Em 1844, Karl Marx publicou um de seus textos mais controversos e frequentemente ignorados nos debates modernos: o ensaio "Sobre a Questão Judaica". Nesta obra, o filósofo que viria a fundamentar as bases do comunismo estabeleceu conexões diretas entre o judaísmo histórico, a figura do mercador e a exploração inerente ao sistema capitalista comercial. Mas o que essas palavras realmente significam sob a lupa da história? Neste vídeo, mergulhamos nas origens de Karl Marx na Prússia e no intenso debate filosófico que ele travou com Bruno Bauer. Exploramos por que intelectuais renomados como Robert Misrahi, Raymond Aron e Isaiah Berlin enxergaram um claro antissemitismo nos escritos de Marx, enquanto outros teóricos defendem que o autor utilizava termos étnicos apenas como metáforas para atacar a sociedade burguesa de sua época.
Fabrizio Denunzio"Informazione e proletariato"Un'interpretazione del giornalismo di MarxOrthotes Editricewww.orthotes.comL'attività giornalistica di Karl Marx è stata troppo spesso rubricata o tra i suoi scritti filosofici giovanili dominati dal confronto con Hegel, o tra le sue opere storiche ed economiche della maturità. Di sicuro, per quasi quarant'anni Marx ha lavorato come giornalista.La ricerca di Fabrizio Denunzio parte dallo stato attuale del giornalismo politico italiano e dal nuovo proletariato metropolitano, per restituire questo vasto segmento della produzione intellettuale marxiana, assunto come un continuum dai tempi della “Gazzetta renana” (1842) fino alle “Revue Socialiste” (1880), al campo sociologico: dei journalism studies per ciò che riguarda la riflessione sulla stampa e il ruolo politico del giornalista nella società capitalista; della concettualità sociologica per ciò che attiene alla nozione di classe povera e proletaria; della metodologia della ricerca sociale grazie all'analisi dettagliata del questionario formulato nell'Enquête Ouvriére.A venirne fuori è un giornalismo militante, anticolonialista e d'inchiesta, animato da una forte tensione verso la verità dell'informazione e la sete di giustizia per il proletariato.Fabrizio Denunzio è professore associato di Sociologia dei processi culturali presso l'Università degli Studi di Salerno dove insegna, tra l'altro, Sociologia e giornalismo d'inchiesta ambientale. Per Orthotes ha curato di A. Gramsci, Sul giornalismo (2017) e pubblicato la monografia L'inconscio coloniale delle scienze umane (2018). Più recente è il suo Ospitalità e spirito del capitalismo.

With the recent public debate between Zohran Mamdani and President Trump regarding socialism and communism, Andrew For America presents a refresher course on the history and existence of the communist "plan for the world." Andrew has told us about Yuri Bezmenov's "ideological subversion" KGB plan in previous episodes, and today he plays a 1958 clip from Robert Welch explaining this 10-step communist plan to change the United States from within. Andrew also plays clips and discusses George Soros, the Trilateral Commission (and its members), Saul Alinsky, the Hegelian Dialectic, Karl Marx, Sophie Lewis, Stefan Molyneux, and a clip from a Soviet Marxist admitting that the death of millions of people in the Soviet Union was justified in pursuit of achieving their communist utopian society. 1973 was a hell of a year people!Happy 4th of July everyone!!!The song selection is the song "Wayside" by the band Dead Wrong.Visit allegedlyrecords.com and check out all of the amazing punk rock artists!Visit soundcloud.com/andrewforamerica1984 to check out Andrew's music!Like and Follow The Politics & Punk Rock Podcast PLAYLIST on Spotify!!!Check it out here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1Y4rumioeqvHfaUgRnRxsy...politicsandpunkrockpodcast.comFollow Future Is Now Coalition on Instagram @FutureIsOrgwww.futureis.org
A self-described Marxist just won a New York Democratic primary — ousting Hakeem Jeffries' top ally Adriano Espaillat after Zohran Mamdani dragged her across the finish line. CNN's own KFile dug up Eliza Avila Chevalier's deleted tweets praising Vladimir Lenin, Karl Marx, Joseph Stalin, and communism itself. And when Hakeem Jeffries was asked who's to blame for the communists taking over his party, he pointed the finger at Donald Trump — while Cory Booker tried to spin the whole thing as "diversity of thought."

The "Communist Manifesto," authored by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in December 1847, serves as a foundational text outlining the core principles and practices of Communism while forecasting the inevitable decline of capitalism. This enduring work resonates today as it addresses themes of class struggle, economic inequality, and the dynamics of power that continue to shape societies worldwide. Its call for the working class to unite against oppressive systems remains a powerful rallying cry, highlighting the importance of solidarity in the face of exploitation. By examining the inherent flaws of capitalism, the Manifesto invites listeners to reflect on contemporary economic challenges and the potential for transformative change. Its insights into the relationship between labor and capital are as relevant now as they were in the 19th century, making this audiobook a compelling exploration of the ideas that have influenced political thought and action for generations.
In this episode of Varn Vlog, we sit down with Sam Badger to explore the moral philosophy hidden within Marxian theory. While Karl Marx is famously derisive of "moralism," this discussion unpacks how his work actually outlines a robust "Ethics of Human Flourishing"—a vision of human liberation rooted in the realization of our creative and social potential beyond the constraints of capital.We delve into Sam's latest research, comparing Marx's views on character development and well-being with Aristotelian ethics, while highlighting how Marx's focus on labor and class status creates a unique framework for modern social movements.Key Topics Covered:The Ethics of Character: How Marx defines the "good life" through the lens of historical context and labor.Alienation and Well-being: The impact of capitalist structures on individual development and freedom.Beyond Aristotle: Why Marx's version of flourishing is inclusive of the working class, unlike classical elite-focused ethics.Modern Social Movements: Using Marx's ethical framework to address today's economic and social inequalities.Referenced Work:Book Citation: Badger, Sam.

Chris Morkowski, the Wall Street watchdog, discusses various pressing issues in the financial and political landscape. He critiques the ESG ratings of companies like SpaceX, explores the rise of socialism in American politics, and reflects on the impact of Brexit on the UK. Morkowski also shares a poignant message from Karl Marx's father, emphasizing the importance of hard work and personal responsibility. He critiques government spending, particularly through USAID, and addresses the origins of COVID-19, calling for accountability in the media. The episode concludes with a discussion on the effectiveness of sanctions in foreign policy and the need for education reform.
Episode 4156 │ June 22, 2026 The silence around the killing of children is not a failure of the system. It is the system working exactly as designed. Dispatch One names it. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Dispatch One of The Eighteenth Brumaire of Donald Trump opens a five-part series built on months of research by applying Karl Marx's dialectical method — not his ideology — to the documented record of what the world's power structure is actually doing to its most vulnerable: 20,000 confirmed children killed in Gaza, 175 children killed in a pink schoolhouse in southern Iran by a US Tomahawk missile aimed by an AI targeting system that didn't know it was a school, 12 million children in modern slavery generating $236 billion annually, and 40,000 children mining coltan in armed-group-controlled Congo for supply chains confirmed by Global Witness to include Sony, Microsoft, Amazon, and Nvidia. The banking system keeps running, the arms contracts keep flowing, the UN Security Council keeps issuing statements, and 1,118 people were convicted last year against a $236 billion global industry — and Scott Kesterson names what that pattern actually is: not failure, not incapacity, but a permission structure — a deliberate institutional choice about what children are worth made by people with the power to choose otherwise. The episode ends not with resolution but with a question: what would you expect if it was your child? KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED What is the difference between institutional failure and a permission structure — and what does the documented record of banking continuity, arms contracts, supply chains, and Security Council vetoes prove about which one is operating? What does the coltan in your phone have to do with armed rebel groups in the Congo, children exposed to radiation in mining pits, and a US federal court that confirmed tech companies forced children to work to meet their demand — then absolved them legally? How does Karl Marx's dialectical method — strip away the theater, expose what is actually moving underneath — apply to the present moment without endorsing the ideology that destroyed a hundred million lives?

This video presents a powerful contrast between the legacies of Karl Marx and D.L. Moody, using their graves in London's Highgate Cemetery as symbolic bookends of opposing worldviews. It critiques Marx's ideology—rooted in the abolition of private property, God, and the family, and grounded in revolutionary upheaval—as a philosophy that, despite claiming to liberate humanity, resulted in widespread oppression and death. In contrast, the sermon exalts Moody's life and ministry as a testament to true liberation through faith in Christ, emphasizing the enduring impact of the Gospel on individuals and society. The central message calls listeners to reflect on their own legacy, urging a life defined not by cultural or political ideologies, but by obedience to God and the transformative power of the truth found in Jesus Christ.

Eine Episode des Geschichts-Podcast "Porta" von volksfreund.de: Karl Marx war nicht nur Philosoph und Revolutionär, sondern auch Journalist. Zeitgleich war ein anderer Karl, Nachname Grün, ebenfalls als Revolutionär und Medienmacher im damaligen Deutschland aktiv - vor allem in Trier, der Geburtsstadt von Karl Marx. Mehr dazu kann eine Expertin erzählen.
« La production capitaliste est d'un seul et même mouvement écocidaire et anthropocidaire », écrit le philosophe et sociologue Alain Bihr en commentant les intuitions de Karl Marx. Ce dernier, cependant, « n'a pas développé, s'agissant du à la nature, l'analyse du comportement vampirique du capital si minutieusement mis en évidence par lui s'agissant de son rapport à la force de travail ». Tel est l'objet du dernier livre d'Alain Bihr, invité de Julien Théry pour ce nouvel épisode de La grande H.Cette analyse est l'objet du livre récemment publié par Alain Bihr aux éditions Page 2/Syllepse et intitulé L'Écocide capitaliste, en 3 volumes : I. Une Catastrophe écologique planétaire. II. La Nature en proie au capital III. Perspectives historiques. Alain Bihr part de la métaphore du vampire, utilisée à de nombreuses reprises par Marx lui-même. Non seulement le capital, qui consiste en travail mort (les moyens de production créés par du travail passé), ne peut s'animer « qu'en suçant tel un vampire du travail vivant », en extrayant « de la mise en œuvre productive de la force de travail le maximum de surtravail comme sa substance nourricière », mais il transforme sa proie comme celle du vampire (laquelle, selon la légende, devient elle-même morte-vivante après lui avoir succombé) puisqu'il doit littéralement, « pénétrer cette force de travail en la remodelant pour la conformer à sa nature et à ses exigences de valorisation intensive ». Retour sur les modalités de ce processus et sur l'histoire de son développement à partir de l'ère pré-capitaliste aux XVe-XVIIe siècles. La discussion porte entre autres sur la façon dont l'intensification systématique de la production, sur le modèle de la plantation coloniale, a aussi radicalisé la domination patriarcale subie par les femmes. A certains égards, Alain Bihr se démarque des thèses des éco-féministes marxistes. Mais la question essentielle concerne bien sûr le présent et la fuite en avant inhérente au mode de production capitaliste, qui représente désormais un danger imminent pour l'habitabilité humaine de la planète.

El escritor liberal analiza el futuro de la región y desmonta los mitos totalitarios en su nueva obra, ‘Nazi-Comunismo'. Iberoamérica vive uno de sus momentos políticos más intensos y polarizados de las últimas décadas. Presidentes que generan pasiones globales, batallas ideológicas sin cuartel y países que oscilan entre el colapso y la transformación radical. Además, se suman las recientes elecciones en Colombia y en Perú, así como el fenómeno que causa el presidente argentino, Javier Milei. Esta semana, en Economía para Quedarte sin Amigos, contamos con Axel Kaiser, escritor, pensador liberal, abogado, profesor universitario y presidente de la Fundación para el Progreso de Chile, para analizar el mapa político del continente y presentar su libro Nazi-comunismo, publicado por Editorial Deusto, en el que defiende que nazismo y comunismo son dos caras de la misma moneda. Apoyándose en fuentes primarias, muchas de ellas solo disponibles en alemán, Kaiser argumenta que el nazismo y el marxismo-leninismo comparten cinco elementos esenciales. "La gente no va a poder creer cómo la identidad ideológica criminal del marxismo es la misma que tiene el nazismo", señala Kaiser, que también recuerda que los propios Mises y Hayek ya advirtieron de ello. Que el mismo Mussolini llevara una medalla de Karl Marx en el bolsillo durante años, o que Hitler tomara ideas directamente de Marx para incorporarlas a su matriz ideológica, son datos que el libro documenta con precisión y que explican por qué la descalificación fácil de "facho" sigue siendo una herramienta para cerrar debates.Música Esta semana, la protagonista de nuestra selección musical es el grupo hispano-argentino Los Rodríguez. Y estos son los temas que hemos escuchado: "Sin Documentos" "Para No Olvidar" "Mucho Mejor" "Dulce Condena"
Um dos mais importantes economistas brasileiros. Marxista, que teve uma carreira brilhante na academia, como professor da USP e da PUC em São Paulo. Houve um período em que teve que ficar afastado, por conta da ditadura militar no Brasil. Ele sempre teve uma militância política junto com a carreira acadêmica, e também como intelectual. Uma figura muito inquieta, no sentido de que ele não se acomodava a um determinado tema. Este foi Paul Singer, personagem do documentário que faz parte de uma série de documentários de não ficção realizados pelo diretor Ugo Giorgetti. Este terceiro episódio sobre a série teve a colaboração por meio de entrevistas com o ex-aluno de Singer, Marcos Barreto, a jornalista e pesquisadora Paula Quental, autora de uma dissertação de mestrado sobre a trajetória política e intelectual de Singer, e Marcelo Justo, diretor executivo do Instituto Paul Singer. Roteiro Liniane Brum: Paul Singer, uma utopia militante: esse episódio é o terceiro de uma série sobre os documentários e as peças de não ficção do diretor de cinema Ugo Giorgetti. Meu nome é Liniane Brum, sou doutora em teoria e crítica literária pela Unicamp e realizei a pesquisa de pós-doutorado “Contra o apagamento – o cinema de não ficção de Ugo Giorgetti” também na Unicamp, no Labjor, com o apoio da Fapesp. [Trilha musical] Liniane: A partir do ano de 2020, Ugo Giorgetti assina três documentários biográficos. São produções realizadas sob encomenda, que têm em comum a apresentação de homens que se destacaram em suas áreas de atuação e como pessoas também. São filmes que não partem de uma inquietação artística ou de uma necessidade intelectual. Ainda assim, são autorais. Estou falando dos filmes Paul Singer, uma utopia militante, produção de 2021, A invenção de Conrado Wessel, de 2024, e Alberto Dines – vínculos de liberdade, que saiu em 2026. Neste episódio vamos tratar de Paul Singer, uma utopia militante. Eu conversei com três pessoas sobre esse documentário. O economista, produtor do filme e ex-aluno de Singer, Marcos Barreto, que me ajudou a entender os bastidores da produção. A jornalista e pesquisadora Paula Quental, autora de uma dissertação de mestrado sobre a trajetória política e intelectual de Singer, e Marcelo Justo, diretor executivo do Instituto Paul Singer. [Vinheta Oxigênio] Liniane: Antes de mais nada, pedi a eles que apresentassem quem foi Paul Singer. Paula Quental: Ele era de uma família judia, assimilada, como se diz, não era religiosa. Ele vinha da Áustria, a mãe percebeu para onde caminhava a coisa do nazismo. Ele conta, inclusive tá na dissertação, que ele descobriu que era judeu, aos seis anos de idade, quando a Áustria foi anexada por Hitler. Aí, chegaram os amiguinhos dele do colégio, com aquelas bandeirinhas nazistas, com a suástica, e ele queria sair junto (com os meninos) com aquela bandeirinha. Aí, a mãe dele vira para ele e diz: “mas, Paul, você é judeu”. Marcos Barreto: É um dos mais importantes economistas brasileiros, marxista e veio com sete anos fugindo do nazismo, com a mãe, o pai já havia falecido, ele veio com a mãe para São Paulo, e ele faz um curso técnico primeiro, ele começa a trabalhar como metalúrgico, só depois ele vai fazer faculdade. E vai fazer faculdade por conta de uma militância política dele, porque o sindicato, o movimento, achava, o mesmo movimento operário, que eles deveriam se qualificar as lideranças, e sugerem que ele vai fazer economia, e ele faz economia, ele se forma já com quase 30 anos, e ele depois tem uma carreira brilhante na academia, professor da USP, foi professor da PUC em São Paulo também, no período que teve que ficar afastado por conta da ditadura militar no Brasil. Ele sempre teve uma militância política junto com a carreira acadêmica, e também como intelectual, uma figura muito inquieta, no sentido de que ele não se acomodava a um determinado tema. Paula Quental: Quando ele entrou na USP, ele já tinha lido o Capital, Trotsky, Lenin, Rosa Luxemburgo, que é muito da tradição dele, ele se considerava um luxemburguista. Então, é uma história de alguém que foi mergulhando nos clássicos e foi desenvolvendo um trabalho muito original, porque ele acabou indo para uma vertente, digamos, herética do marxismo, não convencional, heterodoxa, porque ele criticava, por exemplo, a União Soviética, ele criticava o centralismo da economia, ele defendia que deveria vir da base, da economia solidária, das cooperativas. Então, ele era um crítico da Revolução de 17 de outubro, da Revolução Bolchevique. Marcos Barreto: Depois, já mais nos últimos 20 anos da vida dele, ele se dedica a um tema muito importante, que é a economia solidária, então ali ele encontra talvez o assunto dos quais ele estudou, que mais ele pôde misturar uma militância política com um saber acadêmico, e colocou em prática, ele foi secretário de economia solidária no governo Lula e Dilma, até o impeachment da Dilma, praticamente ele ficou em Brasília coordenando essa Secretaria. Liniane: Esta apresentação foi feita pela Paula e pelo Marcos. E por aí a gente já consegue ver uma trajetória bem particular, que mistura prática militante e teoria, o que já o difere de muitos intelectuais. Faltou o destaque que o Marcelo Justo fez do nosso protagonista, que trago agora. Marcelo Justo: Tem um marco na vida do Singer, tanto pessoal quanto como militante, que é trabalhar em grupo. Ele se destaca como intelectual e parece que o intelectual é uma figura sozinha, isolada, mas ele só tem essa força que ele tem pela capacidade de estar em grupo e de se conectar o Singer é o que a gente chama mais contemporaneamente de um articulador de redes, ele está sempre mantendo redes de amigos e de militantes juntos, que caminham juntos. Liniane: Marcos, como surge a ideia de um filme sobre ele, ou seja, quem fala: “olha, agora tem que ser feito um documentário sobre o Paul Singer”. Marcos Barreto: Quando ele falece, um grupo de amigos, de pessoas que gostavam muito do professor, dizem, bom, a gente precisa fazer alguma coisa pra contar essa história dele, precisamos registrar isso de alguma forma, fazemos um livro, fazemos o que? Não, vamos fazer um filme e aí a gente faz então uma campanha de crowdfunding, pra conseguir o recurso pra fazer o filme. O primeiro passo foi esse: nós não tínhamos diretor, nós não sabíamos exatamente que filme seria, mas a gente resolve fazer algo que tem muito a ver com a economia solidária, uma grande vaquinha, em todos os 27 estados do Brasil, no Distrito Federal, há pessoas que contribuíram pra que o filme fosse feito. E aí ficamos, então, pensando que diretor pode fazer esse filme, ou diretora? Quebramos a cabeça até que eu sugeri que fosse o Ugo Giorgetti. Liniane: Por que Ugo Giorgetti? Marcos Barreto: Porque, entre várias coisas, o Paul Singer escolheu a cidade de São Paulo, quer dizer, ele veio criança, ele não escolheu propriamente, foi a mãe dele que veio, porque já haviam familiares em São Paulo. Mas ele acaba vindo pra São Paulo e adota a cidade como a cidade dele. Ele era um apaixonado por São Paulo, falava isso várias vezes, ele voltava às vezes pra Europa, ia fazer palestra, dizendo que não tem nada como São Paulo. Liniane: Assistindo o documentário, a gente percebe que Ugo Giorgetti traduz o Singer múltiplo. Os entrevistados comentam o olhar do diretor sobre suas conexões com figuras importantes da política, do campo da educação e mesmo e seu papel na difusão de O Capital, de Marx no Brasil. Foi ele quem primeiro traduziu o livro para o português. Paula Quental: Teve uma passagem no documentário do Ugo Giorgetti, em que ele entrevista o Paul Singer, porque ele fez ainda várias entrevistas com o Paul Singer, em que o Singer lembra da época que ele dividiu o secretariado da Erundina com Paulo Freire. E ele fala que aprendeu muito com o Freire, que se sente extremamente influenciado pelo Freire. E isso até me estimulou a escrever uma sessão na minha dissertação, chamada Dois Paulos, em que eu analiso justamente o aspecto pedagógico da obra do Paul Singer, que ele próprio se coloca como muito influenciado pelo Freire. Marcos Barreto: Com essa amplitude que tem a vida do professor, as pessoas podiam conhecer um lado, mas pouca gente conhecia o todo, e o filme permite esse registro. E do ponto de vista acadêmico, é um registro interessante também, mais uma vez, sem ser algo cansativo, extenuante, chato, ou mais maçante, vamos dizer assim, porque ele está ali, o registro da vida intelectual, de uma forma leve, de uma forma que você compreende e fala nossa, ele fez tudo isso, nossa, foi ele então que traduziu o Capital. Liniane: No final dos anos 1950, professores da Faculdade de Filosofia, Letras e Ciências Humanas da USP, dentre os quais José Arthur Gianotti, Fernando Henrique Cardoso e Ruth Cardoso, organizaram um grupo para fazer a leitura de O Capital. Paul Singer integra esse grupo com a missão de traduzir o livro diretamente do alemão. Não custa lembrar que se trata de uma obra canônica no campo das ciências humanas. E que naquele momento Paul Singer ainda não era o economista, intelectual destacado e homem público da alta burocracia governamental. Aqui, as falas de Marcelo, Marcos e depois a Paula. Marcelo Justo: Isso é um marco né? é um marco, acho que para o Singer, é um marco na esquerda brasileira também, porque é um primeiro momento falando pelos relatos deles, que vão se debruçar sobre a obra do Marx de uma forma sistemática, durante muitos anos, – que é interrompido com o golpe de 64, mas começa, se eu não me engano, em 58, 59 e aí vão para outros autores, não só Karl Marx, que aí vão pegar o Singer como um leitor, desde criança, do alemão. Então ele integra o grupo como quem vai ler, trazer a versão original do alemão, mas é que eles vão comparando também a tradução. Então tem a leitura em alemão, tem a leitura em francês, a leitura do que existia em português. Isso depois vai servir também como base para o Singer depois fazer a tradução, a primeira tradução original em alemão do Capital, aí já nos anos 80. A partir desse grupo sai a tese de doutorado do Fernando Henrique Cardoso, então acho que tem todos esses marcos. O professor Roberto Schwarz até hoje também se refere a esse momento, o professor Michael Löwy, que é conselheiro do nosso instituto, que foi muito amigo do Singer, também se refere até hoje como um marco na vida dele, esse momento de leitura do Capital. Marcos Barreto: E depois tem um segundo momento, que é muito rico também, quando ele é convidado por um grupo de jovens que diz assim: “poxa, a gente queria fazer uma leitura do Capital”. E aí veio a ideia de fazer uma leitura no Teatro de Arena. Então já pensou o que era isso? Você reunia no Teatro de Arena, já na ditadura militar – aí nós estamos falando de um Brasil já fechado do ponto de vista político – e esse grupo se reunia sábado de manhã para fazer a leitura do Capital com a coordenação do professor Paul Singer. Então isso é um marco também, e desta leitura ele também aproveitou, como bom acadêmico, e fez um livro sobre essa experiência. Paula Quental: Eu ouvi do Lincoln Seco, professor de História da USP, que ouviu do Florestan Fernandes, que ele é a pessoa que mais conheceu O Capital no Brasil. Ele editou uma edição da Abril Cultural do Capital, uma edição famosa do início dos anos 1980, que a editora Ubu agora reeditou. E ele lia no original, ele mergulhou, e desde uma externa idade. Liniane: Eu selecionei um trecho do documentário em que o próprio Paul Singer fala sobre Marx. Ele integra o segmento intitulado por Ugo Giorgetti “Um autodidata na USP”. Ouve só: [Trecho do documentário] Paul Singer: Marx, em primeiro lugar, deu uma visão do capitalismo que ninguém havia dado antes, e que agora se mostra inteiramente verdadeira. Marx está sendo ressuscitado por não marxistas, exatamente como coincide, eu diria, de uma forma ultra surpreendente com este capitalismo extremamente em crises, crises que se repetem etc. porque ele entendeu, uma das coisas que tem Marx, a contribuição dele, é só dele, não é de outros, é que os economistas clássicos, tipo Ricardo, Adam Smith e tantos outros, que não eram reacionários, não, eles não eram de direita, mas eles jamais lembrariam em analisar a economia através de lutas de classes, isso é Marx. [Efeito Sonoro] (Voz de Paul Singer bem baixinha) [Silêncio prolongado] [Trilha incidental] Liniane: Marcelo, o Instituto Paul Singer e o documentário nascem praticamente ao mesmo tempo e se dedicam à difusão do legado do professor. Em que medida essa coincidência influencia o trabalho da entidade? Marcelo Justo: O Instituto, ele começa em 2021, a organização dele. No final do ano é que ele se formaliza com o CNPJ, e em 2022 é lançado, tornado público o Instituto. Ele é uma iniciativa dos familiares do Paul Singer, basicamente eu e a Helena Singer, que é a minha esposa, filha dele. É uma associação sem fins lucrativos que tem como missão preservar e reinventar esse legado. Um legado que tem esse histórico de uma luta pela democracia, pela solidariedade, a luta contra todas as formas de injustiça e desigualdade. Marcelo Justo: O nosso principal desafio é a difusão, é a divulgação das ideias e obras do Singer. Então, um documentário como esse é muito importante, ajuda muito nisso em 50, 40 e poucos minutos, assim, você tem a trajetória inteira dele, da história de vida, as principais ideias e algumas das polêmicas enfrentadas na trajetória, na vida dele. Então, para a gente, é um material muito importante, muito rico para divulgar. Liniane: É fato: documentário e Instituto convergem em objetivo e se fortalecem mutuamente. Porém, Marcos Barreto me explicou que o filme foi feito a partir de entrevistas realizadas em momentos diferentes. Na primeira, de 2015, Paul Singer é entrevistado pelo grupo que viria a produzir o documentário. A segunda é feita por Giorgetti, em 2018, antes do falecimento do professor. Já o Instituto, como Marcelo me contou, e formalizado em 2022. Marcos Barreto: O professor, no final da vida, já nos últimos anos, tinha alguns fatores de memória, algumas coisas que estavam começando a falhar. E a gente identificou isso, e a família, e a gente falou, bom, vamos gravar, vamos colocar o Paul Singer falando sobre a vida dele, sobre coisas que ele fez na vida que são marcantes, sobre passagens importantes, vamos quase que fazer uma entrevista com ele. E a gente fez duas sessões grandes com o professor, foi o Fernando Kleyman quem organizou isso, em Brasília. E ele então, por duas sessões de quase três, quatro horas, falou um monte, o que foi ótimo, porque quando a gente conseguiu resolver o dinheiro para fazer o filme, escolher o Ugo, etc, o professor havia já avançado na doença, já tinha dificuldade, o Ugo chegou a conversar com ele ainda em vida, o filme é lançado depois que o professor já faleceu. Liniane: O documentário foi divulgado na imprensa como uma produção que praticou a Economia Solidária. O que significaria essa afirmação, Marcelo? Marcelo Justo: Então, na economia solidária, democracia e autogestão são sinônimos, praticamente, nos escritos dele. Então, o que é isso? As pessoas se organizarem para produzir juntos, sem patrão e sem empregado. Todo mundo é cooperado. Não é à toa que o documentário tem o nome da utopia militante, que esse é o título do livro dele, que ele se coloca a isso, né? A questão da utopia como uma militância. A militância dele é por essa utopia, que é uma utopia de construir um socialismo que seja democrático, que não seja a experiência do chamado socialismo real, que é uma ditadura de esquerda. Liniane: Marcos também comentou sobre o termo utopia que está no título do documentário. E destacou, mais uma vez, a multiplicidade de papeis de Singer nos vários espaços em que atuou. Marcos Barreto: Esse título é tão forte e também resume tanto do que é o professor, porque justamente reúne essas duas facetas, que é uma pessoa que é um intelectual brilhante, professor titular da USP, com um militante que nunca deixou de ser militante. Ele foi estudar economia porque ele era um militante, e ele termina a vida como alguém que está pensando a economia solidária, que é algo prático, então ele não tava sendo um teórico da economia solidária, só que aí no meio desse percurso, já nessa última década da vida, nas últimas duas décadas, ele escreve esse livro, que é uma utopia militante, então ele assume ali o quê? Que ao mesmo tempo que ele está defendendo algo que é utópico, que é um desejo do que ele gostaria de ver acontecer, ele assume que aquilo só vai acontecer se tiver militância, ou seja, talvez aí, diferente do socialismo científico, que parte da ideia de que há uma evolução natural da história que vai ligar o socialismo, e que é algo que aliás o Singer não acreditava. Então o título, na verdade, quem escolheu foi o professor Paulo Singer, para o livro, e a gente quando viu, quando foi pensar no título do filme, a gente falou, putz, difícil achar um nome melhor do que Utopia Militante. Liniane: O documentário estreou no Festival Internacional É Tudo Verdade, em 2021, em um momento em que a letalidade do coronavírus alcançava um dos seus picos. Ele foi exibido de modo on-line, mediante a distribuição de duas mil senhas, que se esgotaram em poucos minutos. [Efeito sonoro] Liniane: “A trajetória política e intelectual de Paul Singer: da crítica marxista à Economia Solidária” é o título da dissertação de mestrado defendida por Paula Quental no Instituto de Estudos Brasileiros, o IEB, da USP, a Universidade de São Paulo, em 2024. Marcelo Justo, que é doutor em geografia pela mesma universidade, organizou o livro “Urbanização e Desenvolvimento”, uma coletânea de textos de Paul Singer. O volume foi editado pela Autêntica em parceria com a Fundação Perseu Abramo. Marcos Barreto é hoje Diretor Geral do Instituto Equipe Educação, Cultura e Cidadania e Vice-Diretor Geral da Fundação Escola de Sociologia e Política de São Paulo (FESPSP), e segue engajado com a divulgação do legado de Singer.

Robert Owen was a factory owner, a social reformer, the father of British socialism… and possibly the nicest company-town tyrant in history. Long before Karl Marx called for revolution, Owen tried to build a kinder version of capitalism: humane factories, universal education, shorter work days, and workers treated like human beings instead of expendable machinery. His model industrial town at New Lanark became world famous, attracting kings, intellectuals, and even the Tsar of Russia. But success convinced Owen he could go further. So he sold everything and moved to Indiana to build a socialist utopia from scratch. What followed was a chaotic experiment involving communal child rearing, endless committee meetings, militant intellectuals, religious clashes, labor shortages, and eventually… the ghost of Thomas Jefferson. In this episode, Heaton travels to Scotland to explore the strange rise and catastrophic collapse of Robert Owen's alternate-universe socialism—and asks whether history might have looked very different if Owenism, rather than Marxism, had become the dominant socialist tradition.
Two hundred and fifty years after Adam Smith published The Wealth of Nations, the economy looks very different from the world he described.Firms are bigger. Production is more centralized. AI and automation are changing what companies can do at scale. And yet markets still matter, perhaps more than ever, in deciding which firms rise, which fall, and how innovation spreads.In this episode of Central Questions, Stefan Ingves speaks with Yueran Ma, Professor of Finance at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, about the rise of large corporations, the changing role of capital and labor, and what Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and Friedrich Hayek can still teach us about today's economy.They discuss why the largest firms now account for a growing share of output and assets, why employment has not concentrated in the same way, what AI could mean for productivity and inequality, and why financial markets may be crucial for spreading the gains from capital more broadly.Guest: Yueran Ma, Professor of Finance, University of Chicago Booth School of BusinessHost: Stefan Ingves, former Governor of the Riksbank and Senior Fellow at Swedish House of FinanceTopics: Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations, Yueran Ma, Stefan Ingves, Central Questions, Swedish House of Finance, large firms, corporations, AI, automation, capital deepening, productivity, corporate finance, economic growth, financial markets, capitalism, Karl Marx, Hayek, visible hand, invisible hand, firm concentration, monetary policy, innovation, Chicago Booth
Zdravo. Tokrat začnemo z razkritjem stoletja: krivec za nakup Patrij je končno znan: to je en opraskan Pinzgauer v Pivki, ki ga je “nekdo” obdrgnil. Izumimo tudi vilkend (vikend vila) in se vprašamo zakaj se otroci v šoli ne učijo (vse)življenjskih veščin in se pripeljemo do angelčkov parkiranja in do osnovnega vprašanja kapitalizma: če moraš po 23 letih popiti 100% več piva, da bi sledil triodstotni rasti, sistem očitno ne deluje. Dokazano na gajbi piva. QED.Vmes obdelamo še Marxa in razliko med idejo in tem, kar so iz nje naredili boljševiki, Stalin in še kdo. Pridemo do dognanja, da je srečen človek slab potrošnik in da, če bi se dolgčasa malo navadili, bi bil svet drugačen. Pri 4. poglavju Zadnje priložnosti pa skočimo na Novo Zelandijo, kjer so fjordi lepi, Douglas pa sedi v helikopterju, kar pa vemo, da ne pomeni nič dobrega. Vsaj zanj.
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 205 Where did Communism really come from? Did it originate with Karl Marx? Is it... "Jewish"? The answers to these latter questions are no. Communism arose out of a combination of German idealism and French socialism, and the first documents on the subject were composed in France. In fact, not only that, the first revolutionary Communist was a Frenchman as well, Francois-Noel "Gracchus" Babeuf, who derived many of his ideas for communist life from an obscure French thinker and tax official named Etienne-Gabriel Morelly. Morelly wrote a tract called The Code of Nature (https://www.marxists.org/subject/utopian/morelly/code-nature.htm ) in 1755 outlining what we recognize today as Communism. Babeuf took these ideas and tried to install them through his "Conspiracy of the Equals," which had a manifesto, "The Manifesto of Equals," (https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/sylvain-marechal-manifesto-of-equals) written by his collaborator Sylvain Marechal in 1796. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes you through these documents and makes it abundantly clear that the Communist Manifesto Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels wrote in 1848 had these ideas at their core. Join him to learn the true origins of Communism.

NYC tenants say they were living in straight-up nightmare conditions while landlords kept collecting checks, and now the city just hit back with a $31 million judgment. Mayor Zohran Mamdani says what was once sold as “luxury you can afford” turned into years of dangerous living, broken apartments, and hundreds of violations in the Bronx.
Capitalism is in crisis. On this point all are agreed. But what is the crisis? How can it be solved? Is capitalism the 'end of history', as Francis Fukuyama famously said after the counter-revolutions in the USSR and Eastern Europe in 1989-91? Will capitalism simply 'sort itself out'? Is it the best of a bad lot, as Churchill and Thatcher maintain? OR is it up to you and me, the working people to lay hold of the means of production - the factories, mines, banks, offices, warehouses, shopping empires, shipping, rail, trucking conglomerates, and run them ourselves; to plan production sustainably to satisfy OUR basic needs and to meet OUR pressing interests. For what will be the cost exacted from the masses of working people of the world in 'blood and treasure' for capitalism's ongoing existence? Can the world bear yet more "belt tightening", poverty, misery, ill health, malnutrition, environmental degradation, unemployment - with all the physical and spiritual degradation that these entail - and deaths from economic and political causes - notably war and famine? And why? All so the few hundred billionaires can carry on amassing obscene amounts of wealth at our expense! In this talk, Ella Rule explains the economics of capitalism, including the basics of Karl Marx's Classic "Das Capital" and Lenin's "Imperialism". Only by understanding the problem, can we find a solution. How is value created? how is it amassed? Of what does exploitation consist (How are workers robbed of the values they create?) Watching this video introduction is a vital step - that takes us closer to the goal of building a movement with the understanding to tackle our parasitic and decadent ruling class; place workers in control; and enable us to build an economy that serves the interests of the vast masses of humanity. Please watch and help to spread it far and wide. You are welcome to repost it, but please acknowledge your source. "The capitalists are our implacable enemies. Their wealth is built upon our poverty, their joy upon our misery!" There is not a crime that capitalists will not commit to preserve their monopoly over the means of production, distribution and exchange. The only fitting punishment is to deprive them of their ill-gotten gains. Our revenge will be the laughter on the faces of our children. A better world is possible. ___________________________________ Subscribe! Donate!

“The end of labor means the end of paid slavery. And the opening up of freedom — that is to say, choice of how to spend your time. The only question, a big question, is how do you eat?” — Keith Teare Does capitalism have a future in our AI age? For Musk, Silicon Valley's baddest bad entrepreneur, the answer might surprise. Musk seems to think that in the long run, money and wealth will disappear in an age of abundant intelligence. Which, presumably, will include hundreds of billions of his own dollars. Although given Musk's determination to sue and take money from OpenAI, some might be slightly sceptical of his real faith in a post-money cornucopia. It's not just Musk and That Was the Week publisher Keith Teare who are reimagining capitalism in our AI age. The former World Bank chief economist, Branko Milanovic, drawing on Karl Marx and Adam Smith in equal measure, argues that if AI eliminates the labor component of production, things will become free — thereby creating the conditions for the destruction of capitalism. Keith agrees — and goes further than Milanovic. The end of paid labor, he insists, borrowing also from Marx, is not a catastrophe. It's the end of what he calls “paid slavery” and the opening of genuine freedom. I'm not so sure. If nobody has to work, we'll all become bad artists. The cult of the amateur. The future is of bad entrepreneurs like Elon Musk and even worse artists. Hyper-capitalism in our age of AI. Five Takeaways • The Musk-OpenAI Trial: A Big Yawn That Cost Millions: An Oakland jury rejected Elon Musk's claim against OpenAI in under two hours — not because OpenAI didn't do what Musk alleged, but because the statute of limitations had expired. Someone should have caught this before two weeks of trial. Musk has vowed to appeal, but it's hard to see how you get around a statute of limitations. Keith's verdict: sideshow, big yawn, ego contest. The lawyers won. The real question — who owns OpenAI after it converts to for-profit — was never going to be answered here. • Sam Altman's Credibility Problem: The New York Times took five takeaways from the trial, one of which was that Sam Altman has a credibility problem. Keith's response: not new information. What the trial did reveal is the depth of mutual animosity between Musk and Altman — two people who, despite everything, share more beliefs about where AI is going than almost anyone else in the world. Keith on who he'd back in a Stalin vs Hitler choice: Stalin, 100 times out of 100. Which is not to say he's enthusiastic about either. • Krugman on Europe: Right Analysis, Wrong Conclusion: Paul Krugman, touring Europe, argues that GDP per capita understates European quality of life. A third of US income buys more than a third of US lifestyle in Europe — healthcare, education, travel, housing are all significantly cheaper. Keith agrees with the analysis. His counter: Europe's structural hostility to innovation means it can maintain its lifestyle but not grow it. The social democratic model is sustainable until it isn't. It needs to unlock innovation or it will slowly fall behind. Hard to do when you're spending your time writing regulations. • Milanovic's AI Thesis: When Things Are Free: Branko Milanovic — Marxist and neoclassical economist — argues that if AI eliminates the labor component of production, value in the classical Adam Smith/Ricardo/Marx sense disappears, and things approach free. Keith agrees and goes further: this isn't just Marxist logic, it's classical economics. The organic composition of capital. If variable capital — mostly labor — tends toward zero, costs tend toward zero, prices tend toward zero, and the distinction between capitalism and its opposite dissolves. Musk says the same thing. Agree or disagree, it's the most interesting economic argument of our time. • The End of Paid Labor Is the End of Paid Slavery: Keith's most provocative position. The end of paid labor is not something to fear. It is freedom — the opening up of genuine choice about how to spend your time. What remains are human-to-human activities: care work, travel companionship, live music, the masseur. These will be in demand. They just won't constitute most of what 8 billion people do. The question of how the previously employed population participates in society — eats, lives, has purpose — is real and large. Keith's position: it's not an inconceivable problem. Andrew's counter: if nobody has to work, we'll all become bad artists. About the Guest Keith Teare is a British-American entrepreneur, investor, and publisher of the That Was the Week newsletter.

On the last two episodes of the Profile we discussed the influences of 19th-century German philosopher Karl Marx on our culture today. This week and next we'll be examining the influences of another popular 19th-century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche had a solid Christian upbringing in the Lutheran tradition and a loving relationship with his pastor father Ludwig. Why then did Nietzsche become so hostile toward Christianity in his mature philosophical thought and how do his ideas still influence us today? We'll be examining these and other questions this week and next on the Profile with author, pastor, and publisher with B&H Academic Dr. Michael McEwen. We'll be talking about his new book The Devil Reads Nietzsche - A Public Theology for the Post-Christian Age. Michael McEwen (PhD, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary) is an author and publisher for B&H Academic and pastor of Hickory Grove Baptist Church in Trenton, Tennessee.
