Symptomatic Redness is a show about political economics and historical analysis. Hosted by C. Derick Varn and Amogh Sahu the show is sometimes a dialogue between the hosts and sometimes features interviews with activists and academics.

This month's Symptomatic Redness features a conversation about Marx and Marxism's relationship with religion. The podcast circles around the questions

Does Marxism have a coherent ethics?

Does Marxism have a theory of consciousness?

And to what extent is Marx or Marxism guilty of idealism?

This is the first half of a nearly two hour conversation. The second half of this podcast will be made available through our Patreon membership site.
