A very great conversation. Full of wisdom. I really appreciate the idea that we should take the past seriously but also not be beholden to and then repeat the same mistakes. Have this guest on again!
It also seems especially true that when the Left drops the ball, the Right picks it up (but inadequately). Just think about how the Left stopped talking about freedom, and if you bring it up today, you're assumed to be on the Right.
I want to know what his dissertation was on in regard to Adorno. I recently went through his lectures on Heidegger’s ontology, and currently going through his lectures on dialectics, and though I love his lectures, his other works (Negative Dialectics, specifically) loses me. I “turned it off” with American politics about a year after Trump got elected, and I regret not turning it off the day after as you did-I held hope a little longer, haha. “Marxism is not anticapitalism” is important to understand-a critique of capitalism is not anticapitalism any more than a critique of pure reason is anti-reason-revealing its limits and condemning aspects (the pressure of alienation) is not a dismissal. Anyway, that is a long conversation haha. Glad I remembered to come back to this conversation, thank you!
My dissertation was on Adorno’s Marxism and addresses the Marxist roots of Adorno’s critical theory. I address non-identity etc but do not focus on philosophy per se.
How do you transcend any-thing sans a metaphysic... feels me? PS: Good to see ya CL. Just found your new outfit. Subscribed and will follow, as always, with interest... Cheers!
The worker is exploited by the capitalist (or more abstractly, capital), the labour power is exploited, AND the worker is simultaneously given the full value of his/her labour power. Both things are true simultaneously, and Marx shows how that is possible, how the capitalist can extract surplus value from the worker and exploit their labour power while at the same time really pay the worker the full value of their labour power. The secret is really the distinction between labour and labour power, between the value of labour power and the value created by labour power in the labour process.
Watching this on 12/30/24 is interesting. This is based on my experience, and if I were to offer something now I tend to see very little understanding of genuine globalist economics in very much depth or the way international banking works. Trump drew everyone to fixate on the domestic which is a problem. After Trump got elected the first time I just focused entirely on news outlets outside the US. I think it’s also important to consider this moment alongside other moments in dying empires.
1:10:14 this is coming from the guy that joined the bolshevik revolution late, was always on the opposing side, and who wasn’t Bolshevik in content himself
Ill be stealing a couple clips from this excellent chat!

“[Better to be a child than a follower, because children will disagree with you]”. Great line!

no more vids on less than nothing?
I have no problem with his take on the Trump phenomenon, but his position on the Palestine question is totally unacceptable and unforgivable.
This is unbelievably dull
Could you say more about that?
@@Booer it’s just very boring 🥱 the way he discusses it way too long
I'll admit it's a little slow at the beginning, but I thought the rest of it was gold
