Spencer Leonard was the editor of Sublation magazine at the time of this recording and is a founder of the Platypus Affiliated Society.   We discuss his upcoming edited and annotated edition of Marx and Engels on Bonapartism: Selected Journalism, 1851-59. We also talk about the problems posed by new left scholarship and political tactics, the seeming failure of the millennial left to respond, and the problems of Bonapartism and Imperialism from the 19th century to the 21st century.

R.C. Roberts is the author of ferocia amini and is a semi-autodidactic scholar of existentialism and psychoanalysis, we spoke about the legacy of Wilfred Bion and the uses of his work for political thinking.  Sartre also comes up. We focus on later Bion, his views on reversible perspective, thinking, and the ineffable as well as the implications on theories of ideology.

Amogh Sahu was my co-host on the defunct Symptomatic Redness podcast.  Amogh and I ran a show on the problems and developments of Marxism from 1213-2019-first under our own aegis and then as a supplement for Doug Lain's tenure at Zero books.   This is the second of two episodes and hopefully many future appearances.   Amogh and I talk about the legacy of Lukacs and the problems of a codified "Marxism" as a belief set.
