Capital Reading Group: Chapter 5 (Contradictions in the General Formula of Capital)
Join us for a discussion of the fifth chapter of Capital, Volume 1. "The form which circulation takes when money becomes capital, is opposed to all the laws we have hitherto investigated bearing on the nature of commodities, value and money, and even of circulation itself. What distinguishes this form from that of the simple circulation of commodities, is the inverted order of succession of the two antithetical processes, sale and purchase. How can this purely formal distinction between these processes change their character as it were by magic?" ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzO5mBzHtWk

The Acid Horizon crew are once again joined by Bataille scholar and translator Stuart Kendall to discuss his writings on General Economy, Waste, and Sustainability in the era of climate crisis. How is our ecologically destructive mode of production complimented by a capitalist mode of consumption? Is luxury antithetical to sustainable society? And how do we make more of waste in a world where the dominant tendencies of production aim at an infinite extraction of value? Join us as we investigate how the economic works of Georges Bataille can direct us away from planetary catastrophe, towards sustainable, even glorious, new modes of consumption. Featured in the discussion: Bataille, Kojève, Blanchot, Deleuze, Nancy, and Junger.

The modern world is at an impasse. Disasters scroll across our smartphone screens and we’re invited to like, follow or upvote, but critical thinking is harder and harder to find. Rather than connecting us in common struggle and debate, the internet has sped up and deepened a long-standing process of alienation and atomization.

Can a left that is more concerned with moral superiority gain any sort of power to enact real fundamental change?
Is the online left really a good example of what the left is today?
Is the obsession with electoral politics and a lack of a real left movement rooted in working class movements a chasm for real radical change?

This video picks apart the right-wing Day for Freedom video, examines how the alt-lite uses the Streisand Effect to spread its message, and points out that Karl Marx was a champion of free speech.
Addendum: At 3:21 Milo is talking about when he was 13 and was abused by older men. He is saying that he was the predator even though he was 13.
