A Labor of Love
Today’s Remnant combines features of both a weekend Ruminant and a “supplemental” episode, like the program’s recent incursion into social Darwinism. Jonah begins with further ruminations from his Wednesday “news”letter, replete with the observations that certain opponents of Israel veer into weirdly anti-Semitic territory when given the opportunity. Speaking of anti-Semites: Marx! After the rumination, Jonah reads from a great Commentary piece on the anti-capitalist tendencies of medieval antisemitism, and how such sentiments then transition into a more modern communistic ideology that nonetheless retained the suspicion of Jews, usury, and labor economics. Show notes: - The Wednesday “news”letter on antisemitism - Hamas’ Iron Dome: “Don’t Fire Rockets at Israel” - Baseball, fatherhood, and racial disparity - AOC seeks to block arms sales to Israel - “If only the Czar knew!” - Jonah in Commentary on Marx, Jews, and capital - Jerry Muller’s response to Jonah - Martin Luther’s “yikes”-inducing treatise - Game of Thrones and the labor theory of value - The “Middleman minority” - Marx’s vampire - “The Political Economy of the Dead” by Mark Neocleous - Again, “frazzledrip.” *sigh* - Jerry Muller’s The Mind and the Market
