Excerpt: /221/ Reading Club: Truth About Class

from Bungacast · host Bungacast

This month we discuss GM Tamas' essay "Telling the Truth About Class" published in the Socialist Register. Is Tamas' division between Marxist and Rousseauian socialism useful? Does it help us to understand the Left today? And is Tamas right that "authentic proletarian revolution... has never occurred in its anti-capitalist purity anywhere"?   Reading Clubs are for patrons $10+, sign up at patreon.com/bungacast   Additional readings: Why the left must abandon the myth of British decline, David Edgerton, New Statesman Ellen Meiksins Wood on the Nairn-Anderson thesis and the Bourgeois paradigm, Verso Books blog
