ADAM WENT ON CHAPO THIS IS NOT A DRILL 🚨🚨🚨

Communications director Zorus Merlin (Branson) and data scientist and consultant Sean Seaside (Charles) assign accountability for the Democrats' electoral loss and raise money for the Kamala Harris presidential campaign to pay off its debts.

45 minutes of borderline painful riffing about like bob dylan meeting billy bob thornton and 15 interspersed minutes of extremely interesting and poignant political economic analysis lol don't get me wrong I love the show but it's an interesting mixture these days

Show notes

In this public season finale we bring you a summary, a conclusion and most importantly we will build for you Bifröst, the bridge from the pseudo legendary rune-phantasmagoria which we have all learned to fear to the post modern respectability which we have all learned to admire.

As we move from a German Midgård to an American Asgård we have to beg of you to see the lure of the Scandinavian Helheim. The race-biological experiment which the wasp worlds wealthiest paid to put in to practice, in the form of the worlds first State Institute of Aryan hygiene. Ideas of Modernity, Democracy, Nationhood, Welfare and Rights of a People, as admirable as they might seem, are in their original bourgeois form the real sticky icky of Jesus love, which makes us want to throw up. You're not wrong, let us show you how the West's best was made.

I struggled through weeks of executive dysfunction and wild anxiety to get this shit done, and you know what? I'm proud as fuck of the jump in editing quality from episode 1 and episode 2, and don't think episode 3 will take so long. Trying to be objective, I think this one reaches the heights of "pretty alright", which is phenomenal for the episode 2 of a complete audio novice.

This is my still-coalescing podcast Wasteland 2000, where we dive into End of History nostalgia from various angles and media with the overarching goal of putting a bullet through the head of nostalgia's shambling husk and prying it's bony hands off our ankles

This was recorded in early october, so the brief discussion (not even really that) of Lebanon is now hopelessly outdated. Do not mind my partner's lib-adjacent takes in some areas, they're new and this podcast is partly an exercise in

All that said, at least a few people we don't know listen to and download it, so someone somewhere thinks we're funny

We are back at it again talking decadence theory with Varn. This week, we dig into Samir Amin's piece from Monthly Review.

We discussed the following materials:

Morley, Neville. "Decadence as a Theory of History." New Literary History, Vol. 35, No. 4, Forms and/of Decadence (Autumn, 2004), pp.573-585

Need to listen to more Spanish!

Would greatly prefer LatAm over Spain

And not just straight like daily/weekly news

I listen and watch more in Spanish than English at this point just need a podcast to round things out

i listen to a LOT of podcasts and for years i've noticed that sometimes the audio will just skip back a minute or so and play again, making me think i'm crazy.

lately, i have been relistening to history of rome, and it is extremely jacked up, the audio will skip back ten minutes, there will be ten minutes of silence at the end of some episodes. i assume this is because of the ads that have been retroactively added, i'm getting modern and location specific ads at the beginning of eps, and i also KNOW that the episodes were not biffed in this way the last time i listened to it.

but yeah other podcasts have also been doing this a bit for years. i remember behind the bastards would do it almost every episode, but again, just for a minute and i don't think any content was ultimately lost. i'm using antennapod now, i was using podcast addict for a long time beforehand. do other people experience podcasts this way or have i just picked the wrong apps, or what?!

With Dr. Oz I. The news again I thought I’d share this (it’s from 2021, might be a little dated.)

On three of Karl Marx’s Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844, “Estranged Labor,” “Private Property and Communism,” and “The Power of Money on Bourgeois Society.” The full foursome are joined by returning guest Lawrence Dallman, who now teaches at Bryn Mawr College.

What exactly is the plight of the poor? It’s not just that they don’t have money, says Marx, and while the institution of money adds a particular flavor of dehumanization to our world, Marx argues (against other social theorists of his time) that even getting rid of all private property wouldn’t address the root of the problem, which is human alienation from our work. If you take the initiative to create something, using your own resources, and you get to enjoy the result (whether we’re talking about food or shoes or artworks), then that’s great. When your instead sell your labor, aren’t a full participant in the creative process, and you don’t own either the product or the tools you’re using to make it, then that’s bad.

Marx (following Hegel) describes our relationship to ourselves as mediated by the objects we work on, so while creating authentically allows us to externalize something of ourselves that we can then look upon and understand ourselves, creating something in an alienated manner doesn’t do this, and in fact we lose contact with (are alienated from) ourselves. Also, this relationship of boss to worker and even those between workers are degraded by this relationship; we’re alienated from real social relationships that would, again, serve to help us reflect on ourselves and so develop ourselves as individuals. Using a term from Feuerbach (whom we’ll cover in ep. 355), Marx says that what makes us human is our awareness of our “species-being,” our essence as humanity. Animals don’t have this, and if we sell all of our time into this inflexible system that isolates us, then we are reduced to the level of animals.
