This Machine Kills

*Unlocked* – Kill the Ecomodernist in Your Head


Listen Later

[We are traveling and other stuff, so enjoy this exceptional episode from our Patreon archives]
We jump off the absurd twitter debate about degrowth and bananas in global communism to discuss much deeper issues about why any alternative to capitalism cannot simply be premised on being better managers of capitalist machines. Despite the arguments of ecomodernists—and the poverty of thought it engenders—there is not a linear development of progress and innovation which either moves forward (to the right) or backward (to the left). Break free of bourgeois ideology! Throw off the shackles of capitalist systems! Abolish the commodity form!
