What is the Imaginary?
The idea that there is such a thing as a "social imaginary" and that this hegemonic interpretative lens is more significant than material reality, that our imaginary influences our politics and culture more than technology, economic relations, or class divisions do, can be traced back to the French radical Cornelius Castoriadis. This video critically examines his book "On the Imaginary Institution of Society" while taking an excerpt from the upcoming book "Unlearning Marx" by Steve Paxton.

CYBER
cyberpunk,-anti-politics,-and-postmodern
This video tackles the following topics: modern despair, the urge to log off, and our fading nostalgia for cyberutopia. It features excerpts from an upcoming book by RU Sirius entitled "The Freaks in the Machine" and some speculation about Matt Christman’s upcoming book for Zero, a book tentatively entitled “Behold a Fail Horse." That second title is still being written. If you're a fan of Christman tweet some words of encouragement to him.

This video looks at Zizek's recent contribution to the collection "Myth and Mayhem: A Leftist Critique of Jordan Peterson", his new book Pandemic, and Marx's understanding of inflation.

WHY W
why-we-should-unlearn-marx
Steve Paxton both studied with GA Cohen at Oxford before and works blue-collar, white-collar and no-collar jobs.
His book, Unlearning Marx considers Marx without Marxism.
The theories of Karl Marx and the practical existence of the Soviet Union are inseparable in the public imagination, but for all the wrong reasons. This book provides detailed analyses of both Marx’s theory of history and the course of Russian and Soviet development and delivers a new and insightful approach to the relationship between the two.
