idk why but this photo looks like it was taken in russia
the more paleolithic artifcats I see, the more amazed I get at how talanted people were back then. They weren’t some primitive cave people, they were just like us
I’ve read it as “based 5th gender” at first
Shia Trump vs Sunni Obama

lmao wtf is this website
That’s the thing that scares me about this podcast tbh. Is there maybe a book I can read that has this thesis laid out in a more organized way?
Hmm, not sure if I agree with much of this, but it’s still very interesting. Gonna listen to the podcast and do my own research.
it has been at least half a year since I listened to this (though I have listened to it fully twice) so I could be very wrong here
That’s fine. I don’t expect you to perfectly summarize 20 hours worth of podcast in few paragraphs. Thanks for the effort!
It was the fact that their political crisis wasn’t nearly as destructive that allowed them to ‘get ahead’ in terms of capitalist development.
But how did capitalist development begin then? Does Matt argue that capitalism is an inevitable outcome of absolutism? Then where does English capitalism come from if they didn’t develop their own absolutism? Or does he think that capitalism is historically inevitable?
It produced absolutism, idk about capitalism. I haven’t listened to the podcast yet but have they ever addressed Ellen Meiksins Wood’s thesis of English agrarian capitalism? Basically, she says that capitalism has already came into being in England by early 17th century and the absolutist states of western Europe were not stepping stones to capitalism but alternatives to it - they were a way of preserving feudalism in some form.
It’s real
I like to turn them into windmills
The Second International situation just got worse…
