Great program. Thank you Haymarket. Thank you hosts Annie Olaloku-Teriba and Richard Seymour and the brilliant Mike Davis. Deep thinking, and then Mike Davis ends with " ... and please give that adorable little girl a kiss for me, ok?" - Socialism is love. Solidarity forever.
'Socialism is love'- the movement needs vague and pointless statements like this, to succeed. Also 'solidarity forever'. It can never be decide what 'solidarity' actually is. Once 'solidarity' has been achieved, the people within that society, even if they don't like it, will know that 'solidarity' will pervade forever, without any hope for a change. Any critics to the regime, will be seen as 'enemies' of 'solidarity' and will be dealt with accordingly.
@@lochnessmunster1189 dude, you responded to someone's vague and positive comment with some snarky bullshit that seems to imply you're on some purity crusade to rid people of their faulty notions of socialism and solidarity. You legit come off like a miserable loser, and aren't worth anyone's time as it is, let alone being taken seriously enough to "debate" the nothing you said. Get over yourself
This was brilliant - bleak in many places, but I can't say unnecessarily so. Mike Davis has contributed so much in the construction of my way of understanding the world. I remember reading in one of Alexander Cockburn's books, how Davis - who he admired deeply - seemed to know everything. I suspect it's likely he would laugh that off, but there's a lot of people who are forever in this man's debt with regards to a whole host of topics. Thank you to all involved in this video.
But it's not as simple as that. If it was, the population of places like Africa would never have had the enormous population boom in the 20th century, that they had.
"No greater sin on the left than allowing the demobilization of an active base" --great call out there, too, making me think of Alicia Garza defining terms of empowerment vs power and base vs constituency.
Mike Davis is an amazing and brilliant human being. Thank you so much for the privilege of listening to him.

@@lochnessmunster1189 holy shit be quiet. No one asked for your pointless and unproductive response
@@zeamaiz945 You haven't refuted it though, have you?
@@lochnessmunster1189 lmao maybe not everyone wants to play "internet debate nerd" with you? Get over yourself and your stupid comments

Couldn't agree more. Mike has a staggering legacy.
"basically transferring protein resources from urban West Africans to...Kentucky Fried Chicken" 😳 I never connected the dots like THAT! But yeah! Wow.
But it's not as simple as that. If it was, the population of places like Africa would never have had the enormous population boom in the 20th century, that they had.

Why would Socialism be any less harmful to the planet?
RIP to a real one
