Jamie is once again joined by her brother in darkness Leslie Lee III (@leslieleeiii) of Struggle Session (@strugglesession) to discuss Robert Eggers' horny and polarizing polarizing Nosferatu (2024) in a MEMBERS ONLY episode of their series Vampire Castle. In this sneak preview, Leslie and Jamie discuss the hoe-less Count Orlok (at least compared to Gary Oldman) and what's lacking from this version of Dracula. Minor spoiler alert! Much, much more in the full episode: Is the 2024 film original enough to justify making yet another movie based on Bram Stoker's 1897 gothic novel? How does it stack up to Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 masterpiece? And when will men learn that having a goth girlfriend is a big responsibility?

Hello friends! Welcome to another episode of Fully Automated! Our guest for this episode is none other than James A. Smith, co-host with David Slavick of The Popular Show. Smith is also the author of Other People's Politics: Populism to Corbynism (Zer0 Books, 2019) and coauthor with Mareile Pfannebecker of Work Want Work: Labour and Desire at the end of Capitalism (Bloomsbury, 2020). Smith is a defender of the idea that the 2016-2020 “Bernie moment” was a real opportunity to advance the cause of socialism. While it can be tempting today to look back and think that it was doomed from the start, Smith argues that the failure was largely self-inflicted. This means there are lessons that can be learned from the failure. However, he notes, the left today “seems worryingly uncurious about the regressive influence earlier defeated lefts have sometimes inadvertently had.”  Smith believes that the left needs to rethink its approach to political freedom. Following up on our recent episode with Efraim Carlebach on the 10-year anniversary of Mark Fisher's famous essay, “Exiting the Vampire Castle,” we chat with Smith about his recent Sublation essay, “Capitalist Realism All Over Again” (3.17.2023).  As he puts it, the left has “struggled to apply the book's insights,” all too often succumbing to political correctness and “anti-political moralism.” Meanwhile, as evidenced in the government response to the coronavirus pandemic, capitalist elites are claiming that crises that are “too important to be hazarded to democratic oversight or protest.” When the left abandons this fight, the right will try to fill in the gap, claiming that only it can stop the power grab.  We also ask Smith about some of his recent episodes, including his interview with Matt Taibbi, one of the main journalists behind The Twitter Files. Like Taibbi, Smith believes that capitalist elites today are leveraging state powers to censor social media activity, essentially constituting a strategy of “revenge against both left and right populism.”  We also discuss a number of foreign policy matters, from the west's war for NATO expansion in Ukraine to the iconoclastic left's bankrupt analysis of Israel's war in Gaza. Concerning the latter, many otherwise insightful critics have suggested that Hamas is essentially a bonapartist organization, seeking to create an islamic state. How does Smith respond to these critics? Moreover, given the difficulty of imagining the construction of a working class party in Gaza today, what should be the left position on this terrible war? Smith can be followed on Twitter/X @thepopularpod. Curious listeners can also follow up on Smith's work on Jacobin, where he has published numerous articles on the state of the British left: “The Labour Party Is Ignoring Britain's Muslims. A Judge-Led Inquiry Won't Change That” (12.12.2023) “Labour's Left Needs to Regain the Insurgent Spirit That Made Jeremy Corbyn Leader” (07.31.2023) “The Labour Left's Fatal Contradictions Are Still Unresolved” (11.04.2021) NOTE: This is a re-post of Episode 13 of Class Transmissions, which was posted on Feb 4, 2024.

Welcome to Episode 42 of Fully Automated. This is a repost of Episode 11 of Class Unity Transmissions (posted on Dec 17, 2023). In this episode, we are joined by Efraim Carlebach to discuss the 10-year anniversary of the publication of Mark Fisher's seminal essay, Exiting the Vampire Castle.  Published on November 24, 2013, Fisher's essay is remembered today as a powerful shot across the bows of what was known at the time as the “call out” left. In particular, the essay was a response to a recent controversy stemming from the appearance of “working class” comedian Russell Brand on the BBC's Newsnight program. Feminists expressed outraged at the BBC's choice to interview Brand at all, noting the sexually insensitive nature of his content. Fisher repudiated these critics as “PoshLeft moralizers” and witch-hunting scolds, leveraging Brand's apparent deafness to the linguistic norms of the middle-class gender lexicon in exchange for online clout. In their insistence that Brand's white male privilege made him one of the oppressors, they had blinded themselves to the foundational role of working-class culture in revolutionary politics.  Fisher's defense of the working-class culture notwithstanding, his position on the priority of working-class politics was more ambiguous. In this discussion, we start by trying to situate Fisher as a left anti-capitalist. After his suicide in 2017, Fisher's work on “capitalist realism” became something of a totem for the millennial left. However, as Carlebach argues, Fisher was never fully clear on what he meant by the term. On the one hand, he often referred to the idea — frequently attributed to Fredric Jameson — that we are so profoundly mentally stuck in within capitalist ideology that “it's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.” On the other, he would sometimes make the interesting move of saying that capitalist realism was specifically “a pathology of the left.”  Ultimately, the ambiguity was short-lived. Where Fisher has once posted approvingly of Adam Curtis's documentary HyperNormalization, a pointed criticism of the counter-cultural left, the defeat of Jermey's Corbyn's leadership of the British Labour Party would see this theme would soon drop out of his work. The culturalist nature of Fisher's defense of the working class folded easily enough into Fisher's late-life return to the New Left, the politics of “consciousness raising,” and the idea of what he called “acid communism.” If you enjoyed this show, please leave a kind review on your podcast app. You call follow the show on Twitter/X: @occupyirtheory

Dave and Mikey interview Slavoj Žižek for the Theory Underground book TOUR launch in Boise, Idaho. They asked him questions about drive vs. desire and the ethics of psychoanalysis in relation to addiction and serial killers; Nick Land, Baudrillard, and Compact Mag / Nina Power. We get into the politics of universality, our critique of working class identity politics, and underground theory itself!After the interview the Theory Underground 2023 Tour Crew talks about the two publications, which you can order from Amazon, or for a reduced price, at theory-underground.com/store The video closes with presentations from two of the Underground Theory contributors presenting on their chapters: Elton L.K. on The Vampire Castle is PMC (Mark Fisher meets Barbara Ehrenreich), and Bryan Weeks on his more poetic work that deals with the Idea of the University, the state's need for legibility (James Scott), and in-operability (Giorgio Agamben).Purchase Underground Theory and TIMENERGY: Why You Have No Time or Energy on Amazon, or if you're local to the U.S. you can order it at a discount from https://theory-underground.com/store/More about the presenters:Bryan Weeks earned a B.A. in English & Creative Writing from the University of Washington in 2013 and M.A. in Education from Boise State University in 2022 where his research focused on the intersection of critical discourses in the Philosophy of education, particularly deschooling and democratization in public education. He teaches English at an alternative high school and leads reading and writing groups in philosophy, literature, and poetry for adults in Boise, ID where he lives with his wife and son. In 2023 he co-taught a course at Theory Underground based on Karl Jaspers' work The Idea of the University. Elton LK was introduced to Kierkegaard and Nietzsche by a friend at age 21 after graduating from a trade school. Eight years later he graduated from Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon with a philosophy degree. In 2012 Elton formed the Dead Parrot Philosophical Society, a book club outside of the academy that discusses everything from Plato to Žižek. The Dead Parrots meet monthly to this day. Since high school Elton has been politically engaged, but Occupy was a major turning point. He did not join his first political organization until 2018: the Democratic Socialists of America. In January 2020 he started an in-person Socialist Night School as a part of his local DSA chapter. In 2023 he co-taught a course at Theory Underground called Professional Managerial Class Consciousness and Ideology.Michael Downs is an independent researcher and author of the philosophy and critical theory blog The Dangerous Maybe. He has earned a graduate certificate from The New Centre for Research and Practice and was the recipient of the Outstanding Graduate Essay at the 2018 International Žižek Conference in Athens, Georgia. Michael is currently studying with Todd McGowan with a special focus on the work of Slavoj Žižek. In 2023 Michael taught a course at Theory Underground on Žižek's For They Know Not What They Do, and in October he teaches an introductory course to the philosophy of Nick Land.If Theory Underground has helped you see that text to speech technologies are a useful way of supplementing one's reading while living a busy life, if you want to be able to listen to PDFs for yourself, then Speechify is recommended.Use the below link and Theory Underground gets credit! https://share.speechify.com/mzwBHEBFollow Theory Underground on Duolingo: https://invite.duolingo.com/BDHTZTB5C...See Theory Underground memes here: https://www.instagram.com/theory_unde... https://tiktok.com/@theory_undergroundMissed a course at Theory Underground?

I wrote an essay on John and Barbara Ehrenreich's concept of the PMC, and how it relates to Mark Fisher's concept of the Vampire Castle, which I read in this episode. You'll hear the full version of the essay, but a shortened version will be included in a book titled Underground Theory, which will be available at Amazon to order a print copy September 4. The link is below. I'm proud to say that this essay will be included with essays by some smart and controversial thinkers including Žižek, Norman Finkelstein, Alenka Zupančič, Todd McGowan, Catherine Liu, Chris Cutrone, Daniel Tutt and Michael Downs of the Dangerous Maybe blog. In my essay I argue Mark Fisher makes the same mistake many Marxists have made. They conflate the petite bourgeoisie with the professional managerial class. This is an understandable mistake, but it is time for Marxists to begin using the Ehrenreich's definition of the professional managerial class in their class analysis. At another time I will quibble further with the Ehrenreichs. I think they make a few mistakes, but on the whole I think they have brought a tremendous improvement to the discipline of class analysis. The future of the socialist struggle must account for the distinctions between the petite bourgeoisie and the professional managerial class.

The government is handing their homework in late and we tell you just how Both Parties Bad. Then we step into the Jordies discourse.     7th Ed. The Government released the “7th edition” of a plan to prepare the Aged Care sector for Covid. Turns out editions 1-6 did not exist. Aged Care Richard Colbeck stated that “The government maintains it's position that it has a plan in place”. LNP Bad Normal Guy Scott Morrison is away at the G7, so Nationals leader Michael McCormack get wild with it. In January McCormack said the US Capitol Riots are the same as Black Lives Matter, doubling down and saying “All Lives Matter”. McCormack also said that the plague of mice should be rehomed to inner-city apartments. Scott Morrison is having a great time with all his mates at the G7. …while making late night calls to the Australian gas industry to let them know they're still his number one. The Nationals are outraged that Morrison even stood next to leaders promising zero emissions by 2050. Fossil fuel industries take more in subsidies than they pay in resource taxes. Australia is starting to be seen by institutional investors as “high risk”. Labor Bad The terrible new Online Safety Bill is set to pass parliament. The Labor Party “will be supporting this bill, but we're not happy about it” This week, the ALP voted with the government to open the Beetaloo Basin for gas exploration. Shadow Resources Minister Madeleine King thinks both sides are bad on the climate debate. The Labor party are saying that the Government wants to take away Medicare. Richard Marles says the quiet part out loud — there is no substantial difference between the Liberal and Labor parties on border policies. FriendlyJordies Okay? FriendlyJordies is a YouTuber. His producer, Kristo Langker, was arrested by the Fixated Person's Unit. The Fixated Threat Assessment Centre was established in QLD in 2013, and was one of the first units of its type. These units have been used to blackbag an Origin Energy whistleblower, and harrass a Greens councillor in Brisbane. The Government don't have a history of using police to attack political enemies. Kevin Rudd has written about Jordan… but sitting Labor party members haven't said a word. Actions Listen to this week's Floodcast on Mark Fisher's “Vampire Castle”.

In unserer vierten Folge reden wir über die Notwendigkeit von Pessimismus, wollen raus aus dem Vampirschloß, stellen FAU vor und sprechen mit Mario Candeias über linke Strategien und Herausforderungen! Senf: Die Notwendigkeit von Pessimismus Zündfunke: "Exiting the Vampire Castle" von Mark Fisher Klassenkampfsport: Die Freie Arbeiterinnen- und Arbeiter-Union (FAU) Interview: Mario Candeias zu linken Strategien und Herausforderungen Stammtisch: Wirecard und das BKA, nochmal Griechenland, Sahra und die AfD, Mietendeckel und die Corona Notbremse Der Name unseres Podcasts, 99 zu eins, steht für unsere Prämisse, dass die Interessen der Mehrheit der Weltbevölkerung mit den Interessen einer winzigen Minderheit in direktem Konflikt stehen. Die Mächtigsten und Wohlhabendsten sind mächtig und wohlhabend, genau weil der Rest der Welt es nicht ist. Unser global dominierendes Produktionssystem, der Kapitalismus, basiert auch eben diesem Antagonismus. Das Ziel unseres Podcasts ist es mit klaren Informationen, zugänglich aufbereitet, Menschen abzuholen und ihnen ihre Position im System und natürlich auch ihre Möglichkeiten der Mitgestaltung bewusst zu machen. Keine trockene Theorie und akademische Debattenkultur, sondern lockerer, humorvoller Umgang miteinander. Das Gemeinsame betonen und nutzen um Bewegung zu erzeugen. Dabei schrecken wir nicht vor Radikalität im eigentlichen Wortsinne zurück, wir wollen die Dinge an der Wurzel packen und nicht um den heißen Brei herum reden.

In this episode we take a deep into Robin DiAngelo's "White Fragility" and implicit bias training.  Who does it work for? Is it simply a way for not threaten workplace power structures by reinforcing white identity? I discuss it with two young writers.  From the essay: Since the death of George Floyd in May of this year, a new wave of anti-racist consciousness has entered into the national conversation again. To feed this new wave, anti-racist reading lists have popped up and new books have been published to meet the demand. One such book that tops many of these lists is Robin DiAngelo's White Fragility. Written in 2018 and now back on the New York Times Bestseller List, White Fragility has become the unofficial guidebook for white liberals to come to terms with their “fragile” and “privileged selves”. Robin DiAngelo's work is race essentialism masked as milquetoast, self-help, anti-racism that, instead of solving systemic inequality, inverts anti-racist action onto the individual. In doing so, DiAngelo's work reaffirms the concepts of White Fragility she is supposedly fighting against. Her work is circular in nature, designed to monetize on the anti-racist moment and to expand its marketplace. The double bind her ideas place on the subject of her work (who may be well meaning participants) gaslights them and puts them in the Vampire Castle designed for those who worship at the altar of DiAngelo's anti-racism, where the only book you will be reading is White Fragility.  In 2013, Mark Fisher wrote a now infamous essay for the website The North Star entitled “Exiting The Vampire Castle”, which was a critique of identity politics and the lack of universality in the current left. In the essay, FIsher describes the Vampire Castle: “The Vampires' Castle specialises in propagating guilt. It is driven by a priest's desire to excommunicate and condemn, an academic-pedant's desire to be the first to be seen to spot a mistake, and a hipster's desire to be one of the in-crowd. The danger in attacking the Vampires' Castle is that it can look as if – and it will do everything it can to reinforce this thought – that one is also attacking the struggles against racism, sexism, heterosexism. But, far from being the only legitimate expression of such struggles, the Vampires' Castle is best understood as a bourgeois-liberal perversion and appropriation of the energy of these movements. The Vampires' Castle was born the moment when the struggle not to be defined by identitarian categories became the quest to have ‘identities' recognised by a bourgeois big Other.   You can read Seth and Charles' work at their Substack here: https://ferocia.substack.com/   You can hear Seth's Music here: https://motherbrainrecordskc.bandcamp.com/album/the-maximal-effect   Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out.  We appreciate each and everyone of you.  If you have the means, and you feel so inclined, BECOME A PATRON!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Jamie is joined by returning guests Leslie Lee III (@leslieleeiii), of Struggle Session and Vampire Castle, and Hether Fortune, formerly of Wax Idols and currently of Jamie's dreams, to talk about two very different horror movies: Zoom-based thriller (and first great film of the Covid era?) "Host" and 1992 cult classic "Society." Spoiler alert: there are no safe spaces, Zoom is even worse than you thought, and the rich are a race of slimy incest-monsters who just wanna get their shunt on.

Greetings! Welcome to Part Two of Episode 26, where we continue our interview with Adam Proctor. As I noted last time, while this is a long interview, it was also a long overdue interview. There was so much good stuff to talk about, it seemed wasteful to try to cram it all into one episode. In Part One, we spent some time looking back over the main themes and controversies of four years of DPS (freedom of speech issues, cancel culture, race essentialism, etc.). We also talked socialist strategy, and the application of work by Sam Ginden and Leo Pantich to the Grexit question. In Part Two, we turn our gaze more to the present, and to future. We join the conversation mid-flow, debating the post-Bernie moment, and the question of whether or not we should swallow, as it is sometimes termed, “the black pill.” Here, I push Adam on his latest slogan. That is, a warning that we should eschew taking up residence in “the basement of the vampire’s castle.” This of course is a modification of Mark Fisher’s ‘Vampire Castle’ hypothesis. In a well-known 2013 essay, Exiting the Vampire Castle, Fisher noted how in Late Capitalism the left confronts obstacles emanating not only from its foes on the other side of the ideological equation, but also from its own tendency for self-destructive behavior. Part of the problem, he wrote, is that the hyper-individuation of social life under the neoliberal cultural project has been so successful that even the left has forgotten the importance of collective power for politics. Hence its paradoxical descent into culture war and performativity. Addressing this critique, we discuss first the importance of Angela Nagle’s stance on sub-culture, and its tendency to compete for the accumulation of cultural capital, before then moving on to address what we might call “the black pill” question. The key, Adam notes, is to take measure of the goals you want the left to accomplish, and then envision what the left would have to look like, in order for these goals to be achieved. Later in the episode, we look at the post-2008 de-linking of the financial economy from the productive economy, the threat of a return of austerity (did it ever go?) in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic, and the question of what the left is, today. And we wrap up with a sympathetically critical discussion of the state of left media in general, and the “Patreon” model of left podcasting in particular.

On this edition of the Antifada side project on the politics of Latin America, we discuss the political situation in Bolivia, where last year riots against a supposed voter fraud lead to a coup of far-right evangelicals.

Spanish historian José Lastra Zorrilla uses the method of analysis of Marx's 18 Brumaire describe the origins of the coup, the failures of Morales and MAS, and how the Bolivian campesinos and workers continue to struggle against the new regime, even as the pandemic rages.

We talk about the pro-democracy struggle in Hong Kong with Nation and Lausan writer Wilfred Chan. From its history of struggling against British colonialism to its rejection of being China's neoliberal "window to the world," the movement provides many contemporary lessons on the potentitals and contradictions of mass organizing. But while reactionary elements of the movement are central, it is no use for the left to simply turn its back. Chan's work stakes out its leftwing, translating its most revolutionary aspects for an international audience, and deepening correspondences with other struggles around the world. We move from the particularities of HK to the global economic roots of the struggle, and how its most innovative tactics (like umbrella-shield frontliners and laser-wielding "light mages") have spread to Chile, France, and now the Pacific Northwest. Finally, we discuss the painfully hypocritical deepening tensions between the US and China, and the prospects of World War III.

In this episode of the Antifada sideproject about space, sci-fi, the paranormal, and parapolitical, we talk to Joseph L Flatley -- the investigative journalist behind "The So-Called Prophet from Pittsburgh" podcast. Through interviews with ex-members, Flatley provides new details about Gabriel of Urantia and his small UFO apocalypse cult in the desert of Tuscon, inspired by psychedelic culture, intentional communities, and a cosmic self-help book of unknown authorship from the twenties. It is a thoroughly "destructive cult," but is there any other kind? We ponder the possibilities through a wide-ranging discussion of Raelianism, Scientology, Posadism, Marxism-Leninism, and the militia movement. Stay tuned after the interview for an audio essay about a 1973 strike at Skylab, the Anti-Space movement, Ad Astra, and the Star Wars trilogy! Shownotes: Follow Joseph L Flatley on Twitter!

In 2013, the late Mark Fisher wrote an essay that immediately became a lightning rod in Left politics. “Exiting the Vampire Castle,” took aim at a leftism which Fisher saw as replacing class interests with a moralizing, liberal identity politics. In many ways, the essay predicted the aftermath of Trump's election and the Clinton/Sanders debates. More importantly, however, it offers us a chance to think about how political discourse is changed by social media. Joining the Sectarian Review Podcast for this episode is C. Derick Varn. In addition to his long history of being involved in leftist political debates, Varn has special insight into this particular essay, as he was one of the editors who originally commissioned it in the first place. Sit back and take a deep dive into a fascinating conversation about political discourse.

Mark Fisher (1968-2017), aka k-punk, was one of the most sensitive and original Leftist writers the internet age has yet produced. In both his major work, Capitalist Realism, and his many essays and blog posts, Fisher expounded on literature, technology, and pop culture from a class-conscious but undogmatic perspective. For his gentle but firm critique of the pseudo-progressive call-out culture that still dominates online spaces, "Exiting the Vampire Castle," he was viciously - but predictably - attacked by petulant children obsessed by a bourgeois sense of proprietary, disguised as liberal political sentiment. In this episode, Joe & Josh discuss his legacy and ask how his thought and writing offer an alternative to both the toxicity of the Alt-Right and the narcissism of the fake Left.“Exiting the Vampire Castle” by Mark Fisher, The North Star, 2013http://www.thenorthstar.info/?p=11299 “Mark Fisher, 1968-2017” by Alex Niven, Jacobin, 2017https://www.jacobinmag.com/2017/01/mark-fisher-capitalist-realism-vampire-castle/ “The Safety Pin and The Swastika” by Shuja Haider, Viewpoint, 2017https://www.viewpointmag.com/2017/01/04/the-safety-pin-and-the-swastika/Let us know what you think: essayquestionspodcast@gmail.com
