In the series finale of Red Library - A Political Education Podcast for Today's Left, we bring you a massive 3 part foray into the alchemical and esoteric labyrinth of Hegel and his relation to the Hermetic Tradition.

Pt. 2 has our Comrade in Christ™ and RIP Kevin™ leading up chapters on Hegel's early philosophical development and the Phenomenology of Spirit's relationship to Hermeticism.

The Enchantments of Mammon w. The Regrettable Century (Pt. 7 FINIS)

Michael Bay

For the first of not 1 but 2 RL Patron-Exclusive Episodes™ for March, Chairman Bane, CC Don, and patron royalty and OGs MetroGnome and Gravesend Commissar fill in for CC Alex to discuss the oeuvre of Michael Bay through the lens of the reactionary mind.     This one is pure chaos, y'all. No prep work except for CC Don and Chairman Bane watching Armageddon while experiencing societal collapse in Texas during the recent ice storm. But as per usual, hot takes abound with some bordering on icy cold territory.   Is Bay a nihilist or just a misanthrope? What does it mean to exist in a world after Christ/Harry Stamper has died? What is a resonance machine? Tune in to find out!     TECHINICAL NOTE: MetroGnome's mic has some weird clipping issues throughout the recording. We apologize for nothing and regret nothing.  -----------------------------------------------  Email us at redlibrarypodcast@gmail.com Follow us on Twitter at Red Library@red_library_pod Click here to listen to the Lost Horizons Network podcast Click here to subscribe to Red Library on iTunes  Click here to support Red Library on Patreon Click here to find Red Library on Facebook Click here to find the host's political theory blog, Capillaries: Theory at the Front

PATREON EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW: Decolonization and Education Patron Roundtable (Pt. 1)

A podcast focused on creating engaging and accessible political education for today's Left. We read all those theory and politics books and teach them to you, the listener, so you don't have to. Then you take what you learn and put it into practice. You can find Red Library's sister project at https://capillariesblog.wordpress.com which focused on political theory and analysis. Come check it out!

This show used to be fairly informative.  Now seems to have devolved into Beavis &amp; Butthead Hour.  Guys, David Harvey can&#39;t live forever, and he could likely use some rest at this point.  Please follow his good example. Please don&#39;t devolve into crappotraphouse.  Not all of us have to be constantly entertained on the level of short attention span theater; we&#39;re looking for intelligent information for grownups who can and will sit through hours of Foucault.  You&#39;re at your best when you communicate via respectful academic voice.

Wha happen?

Enjoying the show so far! Keep up the good work!

Good

Red Library: A Political Education Podcast for Today's Left

On this week's episode, LET'S GET THAT BREAD. We have not just one but two returning guests on the show to help us do just that. Comrades Courtney and Jordan return to the library to discuss the classic of anarcho-communist theory, The Conquest of Bread by Pyotr Kropotkin. We keep this one a bit more loose than our usual format as we talk about some of Kropotkin's ideas of what an anarcho-communist society would look like, the question of human nature, BioShock, the Unabomber, Monty Python, and lots more. We also discuss a lot about anarcho-communism in general and what it offers the Left in terms of organizing and political vision.  Further Reading/References  Pyotr Kropotkin The Conquest of Bread Summary Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution Summary Charles Fourier Phalanstere  The Libertarian Experiment in Van Ormy, TX Monty Python and the Holy Grail Teaches Us about Anarcho-Communism Know Your Meme! - Google Murray Bookchin Murray Bookchin Rojava The Tyranny of Structurelessness by Jo Freeman Summary of The Island by Aldous Huxley Vercingetorix "I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops." - Stephen Jay Gould Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs  ------------------------------------------------ Email us at redlibrarypodcast@gmail.com Follow us on Twitter at Red Library@red_library_pod Click here to subscribe to Red Library on iTunes  Click here to support Red Library on Patreon Click here to find Red Library on Facebook Click here to find the host's political theory blog, Capillaries: Theory at the Front

We also discuss a lot about anarcho-communism in general and what it offers the Left in terms of organizing and political vision.  Further Reading/References <ul> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Kropotkin" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pyotr Kropotkin</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Conquest_of_Bread" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Conquest of Bread Summary</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_Aid:_A_Factor_of_Evolution" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution Summary</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Fourier" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Charles Fourier</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalanst%C3%A8re" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Phalanstere</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.texasobserver.org/the-rise-and-fall-of-the-freest-little-city-in-texas/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> The Libertarian Experiment in Van Ormy, TX</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2c-X8HiBng" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Monty Python and the Holy Grail Teaches Us about Anarcho-Communism</a></li> <li><a href="https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/google-murray-bookchin" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Know Your Meme! - Google Murray Bookchin</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murray_Bookchin" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Murray Bookchin</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rojava" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rojava</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.jofreeman.com/joreen/tyranny.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Tyranny of Structurelessness by Jo Freeman</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.bookrags.com/studyguide-island-huxley/#gsc.tab=0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Summary of The Island by Aldous Huxley</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vercingetorix" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Vercingetorix</a></li> <li>"I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops." - Stephen Jay Gould</li> <li><a href="https://www.simplypsychology.org/maslow.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs</a></li> </ul> ------------------------------------------------ Email us at <a href="mailto:redlibrarypodcast@gmail.com">redlibrarypodcast@gmail.com</a> Follow us on Twitter at <a href="https://twitter.com/red_library_pod" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Red Library@red_library_pod</a> Click <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/red-library-a-political-education-podcast-for-todays-left/id1449392577?mt=2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here</a> to subscribe to Red Library on iTunes  Click <a href="http://www.patreon.com/redlibrary" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a> to support Red Library on Patreon Click <a href="https://www.facebook.com/redlibrarypodcast" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a> to find Red Library on Facebook Click <a href="https://capillariesblog.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here</a> to find the host's political theory blog, Capillaries: Theory at the Front

Comrade Adam and Comrade Commissar Don dive into Ernest Mandel's concise book/pamphlet on the basics of Marxist economic theory, An Introduction to Marxist Economic Thought.      In part 1, we cover some of the basic Marxist concepts such as use value and exchange value, surplus value, the labor theory of value, alienation, and explore Mandel's three proofs for the labor theory of value.

An Introduction to Marxist Economic Theory (Pt. 1)

We are joined by our good comrade, Max, this week in the library to tackle a work of the brilliant Marxist sociologist and Big Dawg of Cultural Studies, Stuart Hall. Comrade Max joins us to lead a discussion on Policing the Crisis: Mugging, the State, and Law and Order by Hall from 1978 which is terrifyingly relevant to the political landscape of racism and neoliberal capitalism today. We discuss a wide range of ideas and concepts from Hall's work including moral panics, signification and political discourse, immigration, race and racism, policing, theories of the State, and the ongoing process of economic crises and their cultural effects. This one is HAWT FIRE. Further Readings/References  Stuart Hall Policing the Crisis Summary The New Left Review Period Judith Butler Stuart Hall: In Conversations Podcast Cultural Studies Professor Ben Carrington "What is this 'Black' in Black Popular Culture" Article Summary John Berger's Ways of Seeing BBC Series Paul Gilroy Moral panic Stop-and-Frisk in New York Deviancy Amplification Spiral Lumpenproletariat Ferdinand de Saussure Review of Zizek's Against the Double Blackmail Antonio Gramsci Silent Majority Vivek Chibber's Postcolonial Theory and the Specter of Capital Intersectionality Combahee River Collective  ------------------------------------------------ Email us at redlibrarypodcast@gmail.com Follow us on Twitter at Red Library@red_library_pod Click here to subscribe to Red Library on iTunes  Click here to support Red Library on Patreon Click here to find Red Library on Facebook

Policing the Crisis: Mugging, the State, and Law and Order

Comrade Adam and Comrade Commissar Don tackle a hugely complex and fascinating topic this week and next: the guerrilla movements and insurgencies that were exploding all in Central America from the 1970's to the early 1990's. As an introduction into this vast historical landscape, we read through Saul Landau's 1993 book, The Guerrilla Wars of Central America. In Part 1, we provide a general overview of the book, Landau's approach in telling the history, and come critical points to consider in journalistic histories of guerrilla movements. After that, Comrade Adam takes the lead on talking through the Sandinista movement and guerrilla warfare in Nicaragua up to the late 1980's.

Allegory and Ideology

Comrade Louis joins me to boldly go where most Leftie podcasts fear to tread: History and Class Consciousness by Hungarian Marxist theorist extraordinaire, Georg Lukacs. This one is all about what we aim for on Red Library by combining some serious theory with a healthy dose of that juicy historical context. We talk a good bit about the general political landscape of the Left in the early 20th century and how Lukacs fits into all of that. And Louis brings some useful insights into why he doesn't get read much anymore if Leftist circles (no spoilers). Oh yeah - we talk about reification and the necessity of a socialist party and militant working class which is really what you all have been salivating and eagerly awaiting since the show started. Well, I have anyway... Couple highlights of the episode: I do an accent for some inexplicable reason and Louis gives one of the better short summations of the transition from feudalism to capitalism I've heard in recent memory.

History and Class Consciousness

Part 2 of Red Library's Revolutionary Politics in Central and South America Series Comrade/Professor Noah de Lissovoy returns to Red Library this week to discuss Pedagogy of the Oppressed, the hugely influential work by Brazilian critical educator and Marxist, Paulo Freire. We talk in-depth about Freire's teaching methodology of revolution and hope, the banking model of education within capitalism, Freire's conception of the relationship between oppressor and the oppressed, and the general role of education in politics, anti-capitalism, and anti-colonial struggles. This is one you don't want to miss, comrades!

Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds (Pt. 1)

How does one rebel ethically? Can revolution be ethical if it strives for the absolute ideals of justice and equality? What is the role of freedom and mortality in politics and our existential being within our experiences of capitalism? These and other questions are the subject of this week's episode as Comrade David joins us to read through The Rebel by the French-Algerian existentialist/absurdist philosopher and essayist, Albert Camus. As always with Comrade David, we also manage to relate rebellion and absurdist philosophy to comics, Ariana Grande, and the occult with a healthy dose of shit-talking along the way. Yeet. Yeet.

The Rebel

It's been a long and strange journey but we've come to the end, dear comrades. This is the final lecture of our Michel Foucault mini-squared series on Society Must Be Defended. We decided to do a full-length episode for you die hard listeners out there that also includes some final wrapping up comments and thoughts we have on the theoretical escapade we've been on for the last 6 months with our good friend, Micky Foucault. Foucult drops major bombs in the finale about sexuality, death, the state, racism, Nazism, Soviet Russia, and we provide ice cold takes and analysis on them. Do socialism and Nazism share the same perverse, racist logic? Listen and found out!

Oh yeah...we also threaten to strike until we get a statement from Jeremy Corbyn on Foucault and do impressions of Tommy Lee Jones and others.

An Introduction to Marxist Economic Theory (Pt. 3)

Part 1 of Red Library's Lost Futures Series     Comrade Neil from the From78 podcast joins Comrade Adam and C.C. Don in the library this week for a real banger of an episode focused on the relationship between science fiction, utopian imaginings, and revolution.     We read through the brilliant sci-fi classic, The Dispossessed, by Ursula K. Le Guin along with her short story, The Day Before the Revolution, as our core texts. And because we are some major based theory-heads, we also bring in an excellent Fredric Jameson essay on Le Guin from his book, Archaeologies of the Future: The Desire Called Utopia and Other Science Fictions, for some back up.     This one has a lot of great moments but the highlights are Comrade Neil giving a great overview of a lot of basic Lacanian concepts as they relate to utopia and the revolutionary impulse through characters in the book.      Further Readings/References    From78's Patreon Page    Ursula K.

Science Fiction, Utopia, and Revolution w. From78

Part 1 of Red Library's Revolutionary Politics in Central and South America Series Comrade Rhie joins us in the library this week to work through the fire and beauty that is Eduardo Galeano's Open Veins of Latin America. As this is the introductory episode to our series, we focus on distilling the structural and historical factors that have shaped politics in Central and South America such as colonization, capitalism, and racism throughout the last 5 centuries. We try to balance the political economic analysis offered by Galeano with staying true to his poetic descriptions of the untold suffering inflicted on Central and South America throughout centuries of colonial and imperial expansion. I think we pull it off quite well.  Further Reading/References  Eduardo Galeano  Open Veins of Latin America Summary  Edward Said  Orientalism by Edward Said Chilean 1973 Coup D'Etat Tariq Ali  Comrade Adam's Introduction to Anti-Imperialism Reading List James Baldwin  Quinoa Production Boom Goes Bust in the Andes  Meat Production and Global Warming The Poverty of Philosophy by Immortal Technique The Moors that Conquered Spain  Galeano's Recent Thoughts on Open Veins of Latin America Colorism Allan Dulles John Foster Dulles  ------------------------------------------------ Email us at redlibrarypodcast@gmail.com Follow us on Twitter at Red Library@red_library_pod Click here to subscribe to Red Library on iTunes  Click here to support Red Library on Patreon Click here to find Red Library on Facebook Click here to find the host's political theory blog, Capillaries: Theory at the Front
