I've been into politics only since the 2019 election campaigns. (I'm 40.) It's taken that long to locate such pithy commentary, without the polarity. "What's popular is not good, what's good is not popular." Thank you. Subscribed.
Fantastic Dr Laurie! Comprehensive as this was, I can't help but want to hear more. I'm really on board with Chris Cutrone, and what he said about Christopher Lasch is so true. Also very good to hear authoritatively that Marx and Marxism are not inherently atheistic -- that deserves a book of its own. Let's watch that movie about The Two Popes. Thanks Chris! Thanks Dr Laurie and Jakob(?). PS Thanks for turning us on to Nouvelle Vague.
Rentier capitalism *feels* like a kind of "degraded capitalism". It strikes me as conservative and, yes, Lasch was right about "militant begging". I found the point about descriptive history linked up - at least for me - with his earlier point about continuity of historical consciousness. Curious that he did not make that explicit himself.
I, for one, would be all for an animist regenerative feudalism. Sorta joking but not entirely. Cutrone's monologue about feudalism as more relational and less alienating is something I generally agree with. That also has largely to do with the technology problem. Anyway let's just get more people growing food and in a good way. I think that's the ticket. Food sovereignty and land-based relationships are essential.

That's Spencer Hess, co-host of Dustbowl Diatribes.
@@ljpolitical-philosophy Thank you to Spencer. He also got my attention, especially as a socialist(?) who is also a new convert.

The real techno-feudalism: give me feudalism but let me keep my broadfork, my Jang seeder, and my scythe and we can have Eden again.
