A Lost Horizons Network Collaboration

This week on Red Library, Neil from the From78 Podcast joins the Red Troika (Don, Alex, and Adam) to kick off our reading series on Todd McGowan's Capitalism and Desire: The Psychic Cost of Free Markets.

For part 1, we talk about some basics of McGowan's project of psychoanalyzing the unconscious of capitalism, conscious and unconscious satisfaction, whethere we really want a revolution, and we drag Burning Man and Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism real hard.
