In this video, we take excerpts from Eliot Rosenstock’s “Zizek in the Clinic” and the novel “Bash Bash Revolution” as we consider how leftists can avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. How can we avoid becoming the equivalent of Bond villains? Along the way, we compare the Roger Moore films “Moonraker” and “The Spy Who Loved Me” and watch some archival footage featuring Charles Manson and Jim Jones. .

Todd McGowan is committed to the idea that theoretical exploration of questions about existence, the psyche, and society can contribute to radical politics. He is the author of "Emancipation After Hegel: Achieving a Contradictory Revolution" and a cultural critic. In this video he talks to Douglas Lain about Hegel and claims the old philosopher is perhaps more radical than Karl Marx.

"When The Hunger Games began in 2008 – it’s since become a defining story for a generation that’s grown up with economic crisis and never ending war – many commentators lumped it in with other young adult genre fiction such as Twilight and Divergent. But The Hunger Games is political. It’s about an elder elite that uses state power, a compliant media and violent spectacle to pacify its population. It’s about how a rebellion is sparked by defiance and spreads through subversive symbols, while the regime responds in the only way it knows." -Michael Harris, Stay Alive Surviving Capitalisms Hunger Games If you've listened to the show for a while maybe you've heard my episodes with this man, or maybe you've heard me mention his book "Welcome to the Rebellion" OVER AND OVER, AND OVER again. Well, the man that started off the livestream is coming back to talk about his release for Zero Books, "Stay Alive: Surviving Capitalisms Hunger Games". Get Dr. Harris Books: https://www.johnhuntpublishing.com/.../welcome-to-rebellion https://www.johnhuntpublishing.com/.../stay-alive...
