We sat down to discuss Karl Marx's scattered writings on Latin America, where he considers the Incan communitarian societies, the War of Independence, and the modern states' 'weak' geopolitical stature. Pat helps unpack the controversy touched off by Marx's attack on Simón Bolívar, putting it into context alongside writings on the American Civil War and the anthropological turn in the Late Marx. Along the way, we gloss major figures in Latin American Marxism from the last two centuries, such as Mariátegui, Aricó, and García Linera. Abandon all hope, and smash ye the play button!

Longtime friend, ATEOH supporter and commentator of Latin American politics, Pat Cabell, joins us for a discussion on the great Chilean novelist, Robert Bolaño, and his work's relevance to themes of realism, international relations and revolutionary politics.  Drawing from an array of texts including 2666, By Night in Chile  and Distant Star and the works of Frederic Jameson and Guy Debord, Pat guides us through an exploration of the Chilean master's key thematic elements, including the persistence of fascist violence, the vanishing of socialist utopianism and its replacement by transnational narco-narratives. What is the longer historic pattern Bolaño's work fits within?
