In this episode, we begin our new series on modernity with a discussion of Marshall Berman's 1982 book All That Is Solid Melts Into Air: The Experience of Modernity. Some of the questions we will tackle in this series will address the substance of modernity, whether modernity is singular or multiple, the relationship of art to modernization, and whether modernity is better understood as a rupture from the past or a development out of it. Berman, for his part, argues that modernity has always been about development through contradictions. We moderns bear witness to the constant dissolution of the traditions, political forms, and social mores of the past in the name of the production of the new. However, Berman thinks the 20th century has lost touch with the essentially contradictory nature of modernity by becoming either dogmatic enthusiasts of creative destruction or resolute pessimists who see nothing but degradation in modern life. He returns us to the 19th century where artists and thinkers such as Goethe, Marx, and Baudelaire had a more vivid and sensitive appreciation of the contradictory demands of modern development. We discuss Berman's ultimately hopeful account of modern experience, its relation to urban life, and why any future politics must reckon with people's desire for stability. Get ready to ride the wave of modernity (it's not like you have a choice)! This is just a short teaser of the full episode.

In this unlocked patreon episode Breht traces and explains a subterranean philosophical lineage running from Spinoza through Hegel to Marx and Louis Althusser. Beginning with Spinoza's conception of God or Nature as a single, immanent Substance, he explores how Hegel transforms Substance into a self-developing Subject, how Marx grounds the dialectic in material social life and class struggle, and how Althusser attempts to remove the final hidden Subject from Marxist theory. Along the way, he examines the concept of immanent critique, Kant's transcendental idealism, Hegel's master-slave dialectic, Marx's materialist transformation of idealism, and Althusser's concepts of overdetermination, interpellation, theoretical anti-humanism, and history as a "process without a Subject." What emerges is an ongoing struggle over immanence, contradiction, human agency, and whether history possesses either a sovereign author or a guaranteed destination.

The United States fertility rate just hit 1.599 — that's an all-time low. We are not replacing ourselves. An entire civilization is opting out of its own future. And everyone wants to talk about tax credits and housing costs. Nobody wants to talk about what we spent 40 years putting on television in your living room. Right? Because if you wanted to design a curriculum that would teach an entire generation to distrust marriage, resent family, and view commitment as a trap — you couldn't have done a better job than prime-time television between 1987 and 2020. But here's what's interesting — the television wasn't the beginning. It was the delivery mechanism. The idea came from somewhere else entirely. And they were very, very clear about what they were doing.SPONSOR: Alliance Defending FreedomAlliance Defending Freedom is representing Daniel Grand, an Orthodox Jew whose Ohio city demanded a government permit before he could host a small prayer meeting in his own home.

In a surprise move, President Trump is set to deliver a prime-time address to the nation tonight, and the topic is expected to be the 2020 election. The speaker is questioning whether this is a good idea, given the current state of affairs and the fact that the American people are looking for leadership on pressing issues like the rising cost of living and the war in Iran.The speaker is skeptical about the President's decision to focus on the 2020 election, especially since it's six years away from the next presidential election. They point out that the President's address could be seen as relitigating the past and not addressing the present. The speaker also mentions that the President has recently endorsed Mike Lindell, a prominent figure in the "stolen election" conspiracy theory, which raises questions about the credibility of the information the President will present.The speaker discusses the potential implications of the President's address, including the possibility of it being a "mistake waiting to happen."

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

In this episode, we use Marx's infamous “Fragment on Machines” from the Grundrisse as a starting-point for a wide ranging discussion about the emancipatory and regressive potentials of AI technologies. Marx thought that automated systems of machinery are incredible embodiments of highly developed human knowledge, which render labor increasingly unnecessary in processes of production, opening the door for unprecedented liberation. Of course, tied to the imperatives of capital accumulation, even the most amazing machines do little more than increase the rate of exploitation and expose untold millions to desperate poverty. There's no reason in principle why machines, including AI systems, couldn't instead free up our time for the active development of our capacities and the pursuit of our personal and collective goals. Abolish the drudgery of gruntwork! But which way we go with these technologies is a political, not a technical matter; a little historical materialism goes a long way.leftofphilosophy.com | @leftofphil | @leftofphilosophy.bsky.socialReferences:Karl Marx, “Fragment on Machines”, in Grundrisse, trans.

Chuck And Julie Show with Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden Are DC UniParty forces trying to take over the CO GOP? Vice Chair Eric Grossman joins the show A Party Struggle Hidden from Public View Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden open the program by arguing that major developments inside the Colorado Republican Party are receiving little attention from conventional news outlets. They welcome Colorado GOP Vice Chair Eric Grossman to discuss internal leadership disputes, party finances, legal concerns, open primaries, and what they describe as outside influence over the state organization. Throughout the episode, the hosts and Grossman frame the conflict as a struggle between grassroots Republicans and establishment-aligned figures seeking to control candidate selection and party operations. Their comments draw on internal communications Julie says she reviewed, legal filings discussed by Grossman, and party actions the speakers interpret as evidence of outside or establishment control. Outside Influence and the Open-Primary Divide Grossman argues that Colorado Republicans are not fully directing their own party and points to the involvement of congressional delegation members in litigation related to Proposition 108. He and the hosts identify the open-primary system as the central philosophical divide within the party, asking whether Republican voters or the much larger bloc of unaffiliated voters should determine Republican nominees. They contend that elected officials and establishment interests may prefer candidates who can succeed under that system, even when those candidates do not strongly represent conservative grassroots priorities. Chuck further suggests that some national Republican organizations may care more about electing nominal Republicans to Congress than about whether those candidates closely reflect Colorado grassroots conservatives. Leadership Concerns, Bylaws, and Party Communication The conversation turns to newly elected chair Craig Steiner and the expectations surrounding his leadership. Julie notes that Grossman had appointed a bylaws committee with a majority supportive of the opt-out, and that Steiner later changed its composition so the opposing side held the advantage. Grossman criticizes what he describes as limited communication from the new chair and argues that actions, rather than public statements about unity, reveal the party leadership's real direction. The hosts also discuss Steiner's media appearances, his desire to unify competing factions, and their concern that trying to satisfy every side may result in passivity when decisive leadership is needed. Money, Attorneys, and the Party's Legal Position A substantial part of the interview concerns the Colorado GOP's financial and legal difficulties. Julie refers to internal communications that she says showed congressional representatives pressuring a previous chair to raise $75,000 or risk removal. Grossman and the hosts question why the party would continue directing money to an attorney they believe helped create the very legal and financial problems now confronting the organization. They also criticize the apparent reluctance to pursue legal action against former officials or advisers. Their discussion includes allegations of financial misconduct and possible criminal behavior, but those allegations remain the speakers' opinions and are not independently established within the transcript. Rebuilding Grassroots Control from the Ground Up When Julie asks how grassroots members can respond, Grossman says education, recruitment, attendance, and internal party voting are essential. He emphasizes that the next state leadership contest may be decided by only several hundred voting members, making recruitment, turnout, and proxy organization especially important. Chuck compares proxy voting with a form of ballot collection inside party elections, while Grossman argues that people who accept party positions must either attend meetings or properly assign their proxies. They maintain that grassroots candidates must organize early, build a first-ballot majority, and prevent later rounds from being shaped by private deals or establishment alliances. Candidate Debates and Wider Political Developments After Grossman leaves, Chuck and Julie discuss the statewide contest involving Republican Victor Marx and independent candidate Greg Lopez. Both say they would support Marx over Lopez, although they express doubt that Marx can win and suggest that Republican efforts may be more productive in competitive state legislative and local races. They also comment on Darlene Graham Nordam's temporary appointment to a state Senate seat and speculate about whether the eventual nominee will be a strong conservative or another establishment figure. The hosts then turn to an anticipated speech by President Trump, possible disclosures concerning the 2020 election, and Tulsi Gabbard's comments about resistance from entrenched federal bureaucrats. A Caller Connects Colorado Politics to Waco Caller Jacob closes the episode by drawing a connection between Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser's earlier service in the Justice Department and Attorney General Janet Reno's approval of the 1993 operation against the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas. Julie asserts that the gas used in the operation was flammable and caused the fire, while Jacob compares the event with historical acts of persecution. Jacob also raises Weiser's family history and Holocaust references as part of his criticism, and Chuck responds with strongly negative personal commentary about Weiser. The program ends with Julie thanking Grossman, the caller, and the audience before announcing the next show.
In a heated discussion about the upcoming Colorado governor's race, the speaker weighs in on the candidacy of Victor Marx, a Republican who won the primary but is now facing scrutiny over his past claims of high-risk missions to rescue women and children. The conversation gets intense as the speaker questions whether Marx's story is true or a fabrication, and what this means for the party's chances in the general election.This episode delves into the complexities of the governor's race, where Marx's campaign is facing criticism for not adequately addressing concerns about his past. The speaker argues that if Marx's story is indeed false, it could have serious consequences for the party's credibility in future elections. Meanwhile, some listeners defend Marx, pointing out that he has helped many people and that his story is inspiring, even if it may be exaggerated.The discussion touches on the importance of transparency and accountability in politics, with the speaker emphasizing that voters deserve to know the truth about their candidates. The conversation also highlights the challenges of navigating the fine line between supporting a candidate who may have flaws and the need to maintain the party's integrity.If you're interested in hearing more about the complexities of the Colorado governor's race and the implications of Marx's candidacy, tune in to this episode to hear the full discussion and decide for yourself what you think.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Why were Jews once stereotyped as America's arsonists? In this episode, Rabbi Marc Katz sits down with historian Jeffrey Marx to discuss his fascinating book Jewish Firebugs: Arson and Antisemitism from the Civil War to World War I (NYU Press, 2026), which uncovers a little-known chapter in the history of American antisemitism. In the decades after the American Civil War, major insurance companies instructed agents to deny fire insurance to Jewish customers, claiming they were uniquely prone to arson. That accusation quickly spread beyond the insurance industry, finding its way into newspapers, cartoons, vaudeville, popular songs, and silent films, helping to cement the image of the "Jewish firebug" in the American imagination. Drawing on fire department records, insurance files, trial transcripts, newspapers, and other archival sources, Marx untangles the complicated relationship between stereotype and reality. He explores why some Jewish immigrants became involved in organized arson schemes, how insurance companies often enabled those crimes for their own financial interests, and why Jews became the only ethnic group in America burdened with this particular accusation. The result is a nuanced history that reveals as much about immigrant life, poverty, and urban America as it does about the enduring power of antisemitic myths. Together, Marx and Katz examine how stereotypes are created, why they persist long after the facts have faded, and what this forgotten episode teaches us about the history—and continuing evolution—of antisemitism in the United States.

It's Casual Friday on The Majority Report On today's program: More details emerge in the murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo at the hands of ICE. The coroner has ruled Araujo's death a homicide which corroborates with the accounts of witnesses. Joe Scarborough has harsh words for ICE, showing that the anger with the agency's violence and brutality has broken through into the mainstream. Ryan Grim, journalist, co-host of Breaking Points and co-founder of Drop Site News, joins the program to recap the week's news. Topics include Graham Platner, other senate races and the War on Iran. In the Fun Half: JD Vance tries and fails miserably at trying a Wisconsin accent. Colorado GOP nominee for governor, Victor Marx, claims he was forced to murder someone when he was only 7 years old but won't elaborate on the situation. Marx also refuses to answer how many people he has killed in his life, saying it isn't relevant. On a TPUSA podcast, Marx claims to have threatened to kill his psychiatrist. Meghan Hays, a former Biden staffer, goes on CNN and tries to imply that Abdul El-Sayed could have Graham Platner-style skeletons in his closet because they share some of the same consultants. Haley Stevens is asked about a website the El-Sayed campaign created that loops her screaming that "Isreal comes to her in her dreams". Dave Portnoy is seriously considering running for mayor of New Yok City, claiming that he is as good at the internet as Zohran Mamdani's crew is. All that and more.

Richard M. Ebeling recalls the world of 1952, when socialism seemed ascendant everywhere, summarizes Marx's system of historical materialism and class struggle, and introduces Mises as one of its most formidable critics.
Mises opens the philosophical half of the course by arguing that Marx's materialism—the claim that a person's economic class shapes his very ideas and logic—dominates modern thought, and he begins to dismantle it.
Marx's doctrine of class and class conflict: the claim that class interests determine how people think and set the classes in irreconcilable conflict—with Mises noting that Marx never actually defined what a class is.
Victor Marx continues to hold his slim lead over RINO Queen Barb Kirkmeyer in the GOP gubernatorial primary. Marx and grassroots candidate Scott Bottoms together received 60 percent of the GOP vote… obvious proof Colorado Republicans are over the UniParty/Establishment trying to tell us how to vote.
It's Tuesday, July 7th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson, Timothy Reed, and Adam McManus Chinese pastor Ezra Jin released from prison Praise God! Chinese House Church Pastor Ezra Jin has been released from a communist prison! This comes after US President Donald Trump brought up his case with the Chinese president last month. China Aid interprets the action as a “goodwill gesture coinciding with America's Independence Day.” Bob Fu of China Aid noted that “While we celebrate Pastor Jin's freedom, our hearts remain with the countless jailed pastors and coworkers from Zion Church as well as priests, bishops, and house church Christians. . . who remain unjustly imprisoned by the Chinese Communist Party.” Pastor Jin's daughter, Grace Jin Drexel, has spoken out on national media and lobbied Congress and the President for the release of her father since he was arrested last October. Iran sentenced five people to death Iranian courts have sentenced five more people to death because they participated in alleged “anti-government” activities in recent protests. This adds to the 1,639 persons executed in 2025, according to Iran International. Iranian officials call for Trump's assassination Calls for President Trump's assassination from Iranian government officials and the crowd of hundreds of thousands on the streets of Tehran were plentiful, according to the New York Post. One banner promised $100 million for the person who kills the US President, according to reports from Iran International. Cuba's nationwide blackout Another communist country, Cuba, is in serious economic and social disintegration. The country experienced a nationwide blackout over the weekend — affecting transportation, crucial medical care, and government operations, reports FoxNews. That's the third blackout in six months. Russian missiles and drones killed 21 Ukrainian citizens Russian missiles and drones killed 21 Ukrainian citizens in a blitz attack on Kiev over the weekend. Another 100-plus people were injured in the attacks, that came at the eve of a NATO summit, reports the BBC. President Donald Trump reports to have had a lengthy “constructive” conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday. LEGO pushes sexual perversion The Denmark-owned LEGO company is openly pushing homosexual Pride parades, homosexual faux marriage, and other homosexualized themes for children. The LEGO company's pride month celebration included a contest intended to groom children in homosexual ideologies. In the words of their website, LEGO seeks to “celebrate everyone you love.” In Matthew 18:6, Jesus said, “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” Evangelical Christian edges out RINO in Colorado's governor race An evangelical Christian, Victor Marx, has edged out the middle-of-the-road Republican candidate in Colorado's gubernatorial race, reports Colorado Newsline. After 97% of the primary vote count has come in, Marx maintains a 1% lead. A recount may still be in the works. Trump-endorsed candidates and conservative candidates have won so far in Texas, Louisiana, Indiana, and Georgia. Abortion is up despite Roe v. Wade's demise Despite the U.S. Supreme Court's overturn of Roe v. Wade in 2022, abortions continue to rise in the United States. The most recent numbers indicated 1.13 million abortions nationwide last year. That's up from 862,000 in 2017, reports The Christian Post. While a number of Republican-leaning states have restricted abortion, many Democrat-leaning states have opened up access to abortions. Additionally, the Abortion Kill Pill is accessible in all states, and remains the largest driver in the uptick of abortion numbers. Psalm 94:21 says, “They gather together against the life of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.” Dept. of Justice cracks down on medical fraud The Department of Justice is cracking down on medical fraud. More than 450 defendants were named in the latest fraud bust, with the fraud totaling more than $6.5 billion! Robert F. Kennedy Jr., head of the Department of Health and Human Services, explained the implications of the far-reaching medical fraud bust. KENNEDY: “Our objective is straightforward: to stop the fraud before it happens. “The people charged today should understand that we will continue expanding these capabilities, strengthening and enforcement, and pursuing every credible allegation of fraud. If you exploit patients for profit, if you steal Medicaid or Medicare dollars, if you treat taxpayer dollars as your personal bank account, we will investigate you. “We will build the case, and we will bring you to justice. We will find fraud, we will stop it, we will recover taxpayer dollars whenever the law permits, and we will restore integrity to the programs that millions of Americans rely on for their care.” 7 million illegals under Biden drove up housing costs A new report out of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas detailed the massive impact illegal immigration has had on housing prices. Per the report, around seven million illegal immigrants entered the United States during the Biden presidency, which contributed greatly to soaring housing prices. The report further read, “A back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests that [unauthorized immigrant worker flows] can explain about 30% of the total growth in house prices and 20% of total growth in rents over the boom period for the average local market.” And Lora Ries of the Heritage Foundation asserted, “We have at least 20 million deportable aliens in the U.S. Deporting millions of them will free up the housing supply, bring down housing costs, and allow young Americans to buy homes and start families.” But are there enough workers in America to do the work? Fewer and fewer able-bodied Americans are willing to work. The U.S. Labor Participation rate has dipped to 61.5% — down from 67% in the early 2000s. Unemployment is running at 4.2% — slightly higher than unemployment rates prior to the Covid pandemic in 2019. Worldview listeners weigh in from Canada, Georgia and Illinois Keith Lozon in Windsor, Ontario Canada wrote me at Adam@TheWorldview.com. He said, “I listen to The Worldview in 5 Minutes every day from Monday through Friday along with the ‘Morning Wire' and Albert Mohler's ‘The Briefing.' That's how I start my day.” Amy Zdunowski in Waverly Hall, Georgia wrote, “I listen to The Worldview in the mornings as I get ready for the day. I just started listening this year. I enjoy hearing a recap of the news, especially stories about Christians around the world that you don't hear about on other platforms.” And Pat Link in Park Ridge, Illinois wrote, “I start my day with a Daily Devotion, then read The Worldview and pray and praise to God for the news stories. Then, I read my Bible and understand more and more the guide book to my Heavenly home.” 15 Worldview listeners gave $4,249 over the weekend and on Monday And finally, over the weekend and on Monday, 15 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the six-member team behind The Worldview for another 365 days.

The central concept of Marx's contribution to a critical understanding of the capitalist economic system - the entry point into his distinctive analysis - is "the surplus." Today's show is devoted to making clear (1) what the surplus is, (2) how and why the surplus is central to understanding capitalism's key features, and (3) how the surplus explains such flaws in capitalism, such as the endless class struggles it provokes and the extreme inequalities of wealth and income it generates.
Episode 396 of RevolutionZ presents Classical Marxism as Marxist Leninists typically utilize it. It is part of a sequence of episodes aimed at helping to assess classical ideologies to determine whether activists should opt for one or reject them all and move on to something better. Marxism can feel like a master key: one theory that explains why society is stuck, who holds power, and how history finally breaks open. We put that promise on the table as we read classical Marxist theory including long eloquent and revealing quotations from Marx and Engels all at an intentionally modestly academic pace, because the details matter if we want an ideology that can guide effective day to day, month to month, and year to year strategy rather than only inspire slogans.We walk through the classic building blocks: scarcity and the 19th-century context that shaped Marx's project, dialectics as change driven by internal contradictions, and historical materialism's insistence that social life rests on production and reproduction. From there we trace how classical Marxism connects human nature to social relations, treats consciousness as rooted in practice, and argues that knowledge proves itself in action. We also name a tension between the narrower “classical” picture and the richer humanist strain in Marx that centers alienation and human potential.Then we apply the classical Marxist conceptual framework to capitalism: exploitation and surplus, the corporation and the state working in tandem, imperial expansion, and recurring crises of overproduction. Classical Marxism claims these pressures forge the working class into a revolutionary force, culminating in a transition through proletarian rule toward a classless communist society where freedom expands and alienation ends. That Marxist storyline is attractive, but we end this presentation where the real work starts: are Classical Marxism's concepts and claims accurate and complete enough to guide us through changing the world around us. What strategy and practice does this theory actually produce? How do we assess it all?What comes after Trump-era politics? After we erase the stain of his imprint, what follows? Do we continue on to not only stop fascism but also fundamentally change current societies and history? If we should, and I hope we agree on that, do we have concepts, methods, and aims sufficient to guide that journey without imposing new failures and without allowing our baggage from having been twisted and fed for all our lives by living under capitalist, misogynist, racist. and authoritarian, conditions? Do we have at hand an ideology sufficient to that admittedly immense task? Next up will be to present Leninist strategy as propounded by, well, Lenin and Trotsky, and used by Leninist parties over and over and over, as yet another episode precursor to evaluating and resolving where to look for viable and worthy theory, strategy, tactics, and aims for current movements that seek to win a fundamentally better future.The label WITBU in this episode's title, refers to the book the content was excerpted from, What Is To Be Undone? This episode and those to follow in this "WITBU sequence" seek to discover whether what we need to undo is past deviations from Marxism Leninism, as some claim, or redoubled advocacy for for Marxism Leninism as some urge.Support the show

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.

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.

Episode 4160 │ June 27, 2026 A chairman for life, $17 billion unaudited, and a founding member the ICC wants for killing children. They call it, The Board of Peace. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Dispatch Two of The Eighteenth Brumaire of Donald Trump follows the permission structure documented in Dispatch One into the architecture behind it — tracing the Board of Peace, a privately governed institution chaired for life by President Trump with $17 billion in unaudited sovereign donations held at JP Morgan, no democratic accountability, and a founding member who accepted his seat by phone because Switzerland was legally obligated to arrest him for crimes against humanity if he landed, and the Pentagon technology architecture now being consolidated under a civilian whose own words name Peter Thiel's Palantir as the future of American defense. Scott Kesterson then maps the Peter Thiel network — co-founder of PayPal, Facebook's first outside investor, founder of Palantir, co-founder of the Dialog Society that has operated secretly for 20 years, funder of JD Vance's Senate campaign, and publisher of the 2009 essay stating democracy and freedom are incompatible — against the documented placements of Thiel-connected figures throughout the Trump administration, the Pentagon AI architecture, and the Board of Peace. The episode closes with the Brumaire mechanism named precisely: the most sophisticated influence operation is not the one that lies about the problem — it is the one that tells the truth about the problem and controls the map to the solution. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED What is the Board of Peace — who chairs it for life, who holds its $17 billion in unaudited donations, why could one of its founding members only accept his seat by phone, and where does the $400 million Qatari aircraft go when Trump leaves office? What is the documented relationship between Peter Thiel, JD Vance, Emil Michael at the Pentagon, Palantir's AI targeting architecture, and the Dialog Society — and what does Thiel's own published statement that democracy and freedom are incompatible mean for the institutions being dismantled around it? What is the Brumaire mechanism — and how does the pattern Marx documented in 1852 France, that Paine lived and nearly died for, map onto the America First movement's energy being used to demolish the institutional architecture that constrained the very billionaire class the movement was supposed to challenge?

We're proud to welcome Allen Eyles, author of 1966's The Marx Brothers: Their World of Comedy—the first book to seriously analyze the team's output—and its successor, 1992's The Complete Films of the Marx Brothers, for his first-ever podcast on these landmark works. The conversation ranges from Eyles' favourite (see what we did there) British comedians to his accidental status as the world's foremost authority on the missing Horse Feathers footage. Along the way, he recalls the Herculean efforts needed to study Marx films in the pre home-video era, and reflects on his evolving opinions of the Brothers' filmography.
