Party Girls

<p>Lizzy Oh (<a href="https://twitter.com/breadpipeline">@breadpipeline</a>) and Stylianos Karolidis (<a href="https://twitter.com/stylianos_k">@stylianos_k</a>) from NYC-DSA (<a href="https://twitter.com/nycDSA">@nycDSA</a>) join Jorge to discuss the historic passing of the Build Public Renewables Act, the first real step towards an equitable climate transition. In the episode, Lizzy and Stylianos walk through the history of the campaign, what it took to win, and how you can reproduce the lessons learned there to any organizing campaign. How is the Build Public Renewables Act and the Green New Deal related to socialism? Is this just a social democratic reform or is there an opportunity for revolutionary change? How can we connect this with anti-imperialism?

<p>In this episode of our series on science fiction and futurism, Aaron and Jorge are joined by Fred Scharmen (<a href="https://twitter.com/sevensixfive">@sevensixfive</a>) for a discussion about his book <em>Space Forces: A Critical History of Life in Outer Space</em>. Fred teaches Architecture and Urban Design at Morgan State University’s School of Architecture and Planning. We discuss what exactly was Russian Cosmism and how did this inspire the Soviet Union's quest to explore the stars? How did Wernher von Braun's Nazi past inform how Americans conceptualize space exploration? How did the military and Disney help sanitize the image of a Nazi SS officer to the American public? Who was Jesse Strickland and why has he become yet another "hidden figure" of space exploration? How are Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos fundamentally different in their approach to space exploration? Is space exploration fundamentally colonialist?

We also dive into parapolitics a bit with the growing story of Jeffrey Epstein. Finally, we discuss the impending wave of labor strikes sweeping the United States.

<p>Friend of the show Alex Gendler (<a href="https://twitter.com/achilleselbow">@achilleselbow</a>) joins us to discuss Adam Curtis's latest BBC docu-series, "Russia 1985-1999: TraumaZone: What it felt like to live through the collapse of communism and democracy." Lacking the distinctive voiceovers and musical cues of Curtis's other films, this series relies solely on footage captured by BBC film crews as the Soviet Union collapsed and was swiftly replaced by a hyper-capitalist, authoritarian oligarchy. Did he get it right? Is it art? Do we miss the Nine Inch Nails interludes?

<p>Jamie and Aaron discuss "Emily the Criminal" (2022), the new movie starring and produced by Aubrey Plaza and directed by John Patton Ford. In this gritty, low budget thriller, a 30-something art school drop-out (Plaza) with $70,000 of student loan debt and a minor criminal record breaks bad after a sexy swindler (Theo Rossi) introduces her to the lucrative world of credit card fraud. Is this an anti-capitalist film, or merely a slice of reality?

<p>In this debut episode of our newest series on science fiction and futurism, the gang is joined by editor at Blood Knife Magazine and host of the Podside Picnic podcast, Kurt Schiller (<a href="https://twitter.com/mechanicalkurt">@mechanicalkurt</a>), for a discussion about Ursula K. Le Guin's rather short but famous 1973 story, The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas. Is it about exploitation under capitalism? Imperialism? That utopia is not possible or cannot exist without sacrifice and suffering, but only for a few? In the decades since its publication, writers, critics, teachers, and students have grappled over the morality of this succinct but perfectly vague story. Kurt helps us parse through its meaning as well as response stories, and we discuss his own piece on "Omelas" over at Blood Knife Mag.

<p>In the third and final edition of their Alexandra Kollontai mini-series, ELC presents her 1921 work, "The Labour of Women in the Evolution of the Economy." In addition to elaborating on the Soviet Republic's plans to support women in their dual roles as workers and mothers, she lays out her opinions on abortion, which the Soviet Republic became the first country to legalize in 1920. What can we learn from these essays, as well as from subsequent Soviet history? Is the language of individual rights something we can ever fully avoid when discussing abortion, the state, etc?

<p>In this first episode of interviewing socialist politicians, Jorge interviews Stephanie Gallardo, a Democratic Socialist running for U.S. Congress in Washington's 9th Congressional District. Stephanie is a Seattle native who is a teacher, union leader, and a DSA endorsed candidate for office. Stephanie's campaign is distinct from many running for office because she is running on an explicitly anti-imperialist platform. For her, being an anti-imperialist is personal for the U.S. intervention in Chile led to her family needing to escape the Pinochet regime. Furthermore, she is pro-Palestinian sovereignty and is as an abolitionist.

<p>In this exciting conclusion to our series on State and Revolution, the ELC crew engages with Chapter 6, which is Lenin's summary of different arguments had by his contemporaries. Lenin dissects arguments made by reformist Marxists like Georgi Plekhanov and Karl Kautsky, contemporary anarchist thought, and "left Radicals" like Antonie Pannekoek. He simultaneously attacks those he calls opportunists like Kautsky, while distinguishing his position from those of Anarchists. What is the difference between Marxism and Anarchism? Why did Lenin leave State and Revolution unfinished? Jamie, Jorge, and Aaron discuss.</p> <p>Chapter 6: <a href="https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1917/staterev/ch06.htm">https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1917/staterev/ch06.htm</a></p> <p>Epilogue: <a href="https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1917/staterev/postscpt.htm">https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1917/staterev/postscpt.htm</a></p> <p>Sign up as a "fan" on here or a patron at <a href="https://www.patreon.com/everybodylovescommunism">patreon.com/everybodylovescommunism</a> to unlock bonus content and our Discord community, and to support the show!</p>

<p>The ELC crew finishes out Chapter 5 of State and Rev. In this EXCITING and HOTLY DEBATED passage, Lenin lays out his plan for transitioning from capitalism to communism via a transitional phase of "lower stage communism." In this phase, you still have to go to work and earn money but now your boss is the state, albeit a state whose foundational goal is its own death-by-withering. Only once the economic basis for that withering is achieved can we ascend to "higher-stage communism" a.k.a. FULL COMMUNISM, a stateless, classless society that runs "from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs." Is this a good plan? What are the pros and cons? Jamie, Jorge, and Aaron discuss.</p> <p>Chapter 5: <a href="https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1917/staterev/ch05.htm">https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1917/staterev/ch05.htm</a></p> <p>Sign up as a "fan" on here or a patron at <a href="https://www.patreon.com/everybodylovescommunism">patreon.com/everybodylovescommunism</a> to unlock bonus content and our Discord community, and to support the show!</p>

<p>Jamie and Jorge discuss the first half of State & Revolution Chapter 5, "The Economic Basis of the Withering Away of the State." In this chapter, Lenin does the Full Monty and tells us how he believes the transition from capitalism to communism is likely to go, drawing from his interpretation of Marx and Engels. He insists throughout that, unlike the utopian socialists, he's presenting a theory that is grounded in "science." Do we buy it?</p> <p>Chapter 5: <a href="https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1917/staterev/ch05.htm">https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1917/staterev/ch05.htm</a></p> <p>Sign up as a "fan" on here or a patron at <a href="https://www.patreon.com/everybodylovescommunism">patreon.com/everybodylovescommunism</a> to unlock bonus content and our Discord community, and to support the show!</p>

<p>Building on the discussions of the State in Chapter Two and Three, Lenin further interrogates the relationship of the State with socialist revolution. Unlike previous chapters, Lenin decides to draw from Engels rather than Marx for a variety of topics regarding the State, such as the "planlessness" of capitalism, how socialists should view the liberal democratic republic, how Engels argued for Democratic Centralism, and how to "overcome" democracy. We have decided to split this chapter into two halves given this is the longest chapter in State and Revolution. This is the second half of our discussion on this chapter!</p> <p>Chapter 4:</p> <p><a href="https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1917/staterev/ch04.htm">https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1917/staterev/ch04.htm</a></p> <p>Sign up as a "fan" on here or a patron at <a href="https://www.patreon.com/everybodylovescommunism">patreon.com/everybodylovescommunism</a> to unlock bonus content and our Discord community, and to support the show!</p>
