  • Parallax Vlog - Project 2025 and the Presidential Election (Segment Only - Full Episode on Patreon)

    07/07/2024

    For those that don't know, Parallax Views has a monthly (sometimes bi-monthly) Patreon exclusive show known as the Parallax Vlog, a crossover show between Parallax Views and Youtube's Varn Vlog, in which C. Derick Varn and I discuss current events and culture. As I've been under-the-weather from a case of food poisoning, I thought I'd offer a preview of the Patreon content by publishing the opening segment of the latest Parallax Vlog in which Derick and I discuss Project 2025, my interview with Adolph Reed, and the upcoming U.S. Presidential election. We'll get into Derick's thoughts on Project 2025, the failures of the Democrats when they're in power, the judicial coup we've seen take place in the U.S., and much, much more. Check out the full show (which will be released in the next day or so) at: https://www.patreon.com/parallaxviews

  • The Structuralism Debates with Nicolas Villareal and Varn, part 1

    08/02/2021

    Please support our patreon.  For early and ad-free episodes, members-only content, and more.This is the first of a Patreon series of streams: we are making it free as a bonus. Nicolas Villareal and C. Derick Varn debate Althusser all the time on Twitter and messages.   While Varn has had Nico on before to talk about Econophysics and Structural Marxism,  Varn and Nico often talk about this antagonistically.  This is the first of what is literally to be an irregular series as both their time allows where they discuss and debate the limits of anti-humanist/humanist debates.  Because dialogue is better than stupid debates on Twitter and having them devolve into Marxology and left beefs, we will do this here.  This is brought to you by patrons of VarnVlog. While this episode is available as a public stream, the audio will be for patrons only. You may want to check out Nicolas Villareal's recent article. You may also want to listen to this. You may want to listen to and/or read these three articles.Abandon all hope ye who subscribe here.   We are affiliated with the Emancipation Network.Crew:Host: C.

We specifically focus on the revisions to Marxist theoretical development that enables the thesis.

Episode Description

Discover the intricate intersections of race, privilege, and class politics through the lens of Dr. Jared K Clemons from Temple University, who joins us for a profound exploration that goes beyond the surface level of today's racial discourse. We dissect the labels of 'racist' or 'anti-racist,' and delve into the political economy's role in shaping these conversations. This episode promises to shed light on the subtle complexities of systemic racism and the paradox of diversity in higher education, inviting you to reflect on your own experiences and the broader implications for our society.

As we navigate through the terrain of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), we contrast the trajectories of DEI initiatives in the private sector against their academic counterparts, scrutinizing the Biden administration's economic policies and their varied effects on different social classes. You'll hear us tackle the challenges that come with educational reform and address the need for a multifaceted approach to systemic biases. This candid conversation provides a critical perspective on the current political and social dynamics within the Black community and offers a nuanced understanding of the durability of diversity and inclusion efforts post-George Floyd.

Wrapping up our discussion, we ponder the societal shifts as COVID-era subsidies come to an end and the impact on Black and Latin communities. Dr. Clemens shares valuable insights into his current work, emphasizing the importance of viewing race and class not merely as identities but as frameworks that shape our social landscape. Whether you're seeking to deepen your understanding of these complex issues or looking to be part of the conversation, this episode is a thought-provoking journey through the intersectionality of race, class, and politics, informed by both current events and historical context.
