Not trying to read shit right now, I've put down the Grapes of Wrath and People's History (edit: BOTH ARE REALLY REALLY GOOD, IM JUST SO TIRED) because I'm working shift and have no energy. I can get through videos just fine.
I think I'm pretty much on the same page as Richard Wolff is, everything he says make sense to me.
But I'd prefer to hear some right wing libertarian arguments, just to get a layout of the land, when they talk about the federal reserve I don't really know what they're talking about as much as I feel like i should.
But anything you guys think is worth watching, Neoliberal stuff, communist stuff- anything.
My state doesnt have legal weed but I have a little bit and I had a joint and finally watched the USSR yellow video a few weeks ago and it was perfect.
If you like Richard Wolff, David Harvey is a natural progression. He does a podcast, capitalist chronicles.
If you want federal reserve stuff, Stephanie Kelton and MMT arguments are good.
Im really glad to see this book excites someone else as much as it does me. Listen to AssvanderButt, take the fucking parenti pill yall.
I don't think I'll read it, I can't even get through Grapes of Wrath and i think it's amazing. This is something to definitely check out though, maybe when I'm in a more stable position.
"Renegade Cut" has been pretty good this year on a variety of issues.
Anti Imperialism:
- Talks by Chris Hedges are always entertaining if you like doom and gloom. And his show "on contact" on RT is good.
- Moderate Rebels and in general the Grey Zones different shows, Redlines and Pushback are always good to keep up on the empires latest violent outbursts.
- Empire Files with Abbey Martin
Economists:
- As others have mentioned Stephanie Kelton and MMT in general is important understanding to have.
- Talks by Michael Hudson (especially on de-dollarization) and
- David Harvey (His Capital Vol 1-3 companion lectures are really good and his podcast is also interesting)
So true, would love to share Latin American content but I honestly can't find much that is translated in English. For anyone that understands Spanish, Volver a Marx is a great series that's on youtube, and a Spanish podcast platform that I forget the name for, that is honestly incredible. It makes you realise how few rigerous and studied Marxist exist in the Anglophonic world since you pretty much can't get a degree in Marxism or get tenured as a professor studying and teaching Marxism.
That'd be a great project for Chapo to take up honestly, get people to translate important Latin American content. Crowdfund or volunteer.
if you're interested in hearing libertarian arguments i couldn't recommend the majority report enough. a few years back they were encouraging libertarians to call into the show just to debate them(and often make an ass of them). searching the show's name + libertarian will provide you endless content.
I can link you some clips later, but the two which I recomend the most are Walter Block's and Daryl Perry's debates.
Both of them are considered to be respectable figures within libertarian circles, but Sam Seder literally caused the two of them to freak out just by asking them basic questions.
also I still miss Michael Brooks...we lost a real one :(
There’s another Wolff, Robert Paul Wolff who has a 6 part lecture series on Marx that’s really good. He’s got others too, but I’ve only fully listened to the Marx series.
I've been liking David Harvey's lecture series on Capital, if you're up for a long haul. On the one hand, it's the opposite of libertarian shit. On the other hand, Capital is about understanding the nature and mechanics of capitalism, so it might be closer to your interests than it seems at face. I've been watching without really reading the book so far and have been able to keep up with most of it. Most helpful is that it's good for understanding Marx' theoretical process which was fucking maddening to read when I tried going in cold.
Sure, but I'm more interested in hearing the perspective of someone who believes in the shit.
