  • Combat Liberalism - Mao
    Join the Proles as we read through Mao's deeply insightful pamphlet 'Combat Liberalism' from 1937.
    We look at how these ideas applied to their own historical context, to our current times as well as challenging each other to confront our own personal liberalisms.

  • Capital #2 – The Commodity, continued (ch. 1)
    In this session we finish our discussion on the first chapter of Capital by Karl Marx.
    This time we discuss the evolution from the elemantary or accidental form of value to the money form and commodity fetishism.
    Here are companion books, podcasts, reading guides and stuff we mentioned in the episode: 
    David Harvey's "Reading Marx's Capital" lectures and his companion book
    Ben Fine and Alfredo Saad-Filho's Marx's Capital
    David and Nathan's podcast Marx Madness and their first episode
    Robert Paul Wolff's lectures on Marx
    David Graeber's Debt: The First 5000 Years
    Rosa Luxemburg's The Accumulation of Capital - Chapter 04
    Corrections:
    We meant the Palau people, when the Tonga were mentioned.
    There was a misquote from Harvey's companion about Adam Smith, so here is the right one:
    "In Smith's ideal world, the state would create the institutional framework for perfectly functioning markets and private property and then watch the wealth of the state and the welfare of the citizenry rapidly improve as individual initiative and entrepreneurialism coordinated through the hidden hand of the market would produce a result that was beneficial to all. In such a world, Smith thought, the intentions and motivations of individuals (varying from greed to social mission) did not matter, because the hidden hand of the market would do the work."
