Unveiling the Complex Dynamics Between Anarchism and Marxism with Ridhiman Balajii

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

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 are joined by C Derick Varn for another listener request. This time we're tackling "Farewell to the Working Class" by André Gorz.

While the introduction music is that of Varn Vlog on this podcaster, this series will be simultaneously released on both the Varn Vlog podcast feed and the Regrettable Century podcast feed.   This is a long-running series we are doing on understanding social technologies, relationships of production, and how we get here:  i.e. what is the social and class history of the past.   In this episode, we discuss Evgeny Morozov's "Critique of Techno-Feudal Reason." We specifically focus on the revisions to Marxist theoretical development that enables the thesis.
