In this week's discussion, ATEOH take a look at the New York Times long read, "The Secret History of the War in Ukraine." What "revelations" has the article surfaced, and how does this all bode for the broader implications of the war? Is NATO headed for collapse? What are the strategic lessons for future conflicts, particularly with China?

Our conversation concludes with reflections on the US's declining global influence and the limitations of proxy wars.

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!
