  • The Lenin Legend - Ep. 3 of The Revolution Will Not BE - How the war against the Left was won

    The goal of this series is not to make an argument so much as lay out a bunch of sources, to let them speak for themselves, and to empower critical thinkers to theorize their situation anew, in a way that leftists tend to obstruct with their reification of the hope industry, duopoly, and "history" as a simulation of roots to and endurance of bygone era meant to provide niche identarian (PMC ascendent or fallen professional holier than thou) belonging that only functionally serves the needs of HR's (and the broader bureaucratic) encroachments into working peoples' lives and the reduction of everything to the service of either capital or state interests.

     

     

    ABOUT

    Theory Underground is a research, publishing, and lecture institute. TU exists to develop the concept of timenergy in the context of critical social theory (CST). CST is the umbrella over critical media theory (CMT), critical doxology and timenergy (CDT), critique of libidinal economy (CLE), critique of political economy (CPE), critique of gender and sex (CGS), and critique of psychiatry and therapism (CPT), critique of science and religion (CSR), and many more. To get basically situated in this field you will have to know a handful of important figures from a bunch of areas of the humanities and social sciences. That would be a lot of work for you if not for the fact that Dave, Ann, and Mikey are consolidating hundreds of thousands of hours of effort into a pirate TV-radio-press that goes on tours and throws conferences and shit like that… It’s a crazyfun experiment, and you can enjoy a ton of the content here for free.

  • The Political Philosophy Trilogy Overview pt. 2 with Benjamin Studebaker

    Benjamin Studebaker studied and taught Political Philosophy at Cambridge, and they go hard! Here he gives TU a crash course overview of the topics and approach they took to part one of the three part series on political philosophy. The reason for this is because Studebaker is helping workers with earbuds and autodidacts at TU get a basis in political theory, for which we are super grateful. Never before in human history has this kind of rigor and depth been available to organic working class intellectuals! TU is planning, with Studebaker, a deep dive course into political philosophy in 2025. Are you excited? We are!

    ABOUT

    Theory Underground is a research, publishing, and lecture institute. TU exists to develop the concept of timenergy in the context of critical social theory (CST). CST is the umbrella over critical media theory (CMT), critical doxology and timenergy (CDT), critique of libidinal economy (CLE), critique of political economy (CPE), critique of gender and sex (CGS), and critique of psychiatry and therapism (CPT), critique of science and religion (CSR), and many more. To get basically situated in this field you will have to know a handful of important figures from a bunch of areas of the humanities and social sciences. That would be a lot of work for you if not for the fact that Dave, Ann, and Mikey are consolidating hundreds of thousands of hours of effort into a pirate TV-radio-press that goes on tours and throws conferences and shit like that… It’s a crazyfun experiment, and you can enjoy a ton of the content here for free.
