Steve Leary | 23-04-2013 17:03 | Climate Chaos | Energy Crisis | Social Struggles | Sheffield | Wales

On Friday 20/4/13, Scotland's largest producer of surface mined coal, Scottish Coal went into liquidation.

Robin Upton | 05-04-2013 02:39 | History | Repression | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

Audio

This week we learn how much effort has been put to making people assume that the virtues of capitalism are beyond question. We hear three Marxian commentators offering their own angles on the development of capitalism in USA, interspersed with a reprise of Noam Chomsky from episode 29 on the elite's determination to control the public mind lest the democratic state serve the wishes of the majority rather than the privilege of the few.

UG#625 - Jettisoning Accustomed Categories of Thought (Marxian Class Analysis 2)

Robin Upton | 29-03-2013 17:39 | Analysis | History | Social Struggles | Sheffield

Audio

This week is something of a continuation of episode #624, featuring the second part of economics professor Richard Wolff on Marxian class analysis, and we approach the end of David Graeber's Debt, The First 5000 Years. I hope it works as an aid to help to rethink what you think you know about economics and politics and to jettison any categories of thought which you find unhelpful.

UG#626 - Where Communism Meets Capitalism (TPPA, Marxian Class Analysis 3)

Robin Upton | 29-03-2013 17:33 | Globalisation | Social Struggles | Sheffield

Audio

This episode we note some similarities between the so called extreme 'left' and 'right' ends of the political spectrum - when the government claims the ability to unilaterally decide how to run things, the stated ideology often goes by the board anyway. Bryan Gould discusses the confidential 'trade agreement' TPP, noting that it is less about free trade and more about subduing national sovereignty to the multinational corporations who devised it. In our second hour, we continue with Richard Wolff's Marxian class analysis, looking specifically at the 1917 Russian revolution.

Audio

This week, two Marxist professors speak on the social impact of capitalism and especially in USA. First, Silvia Federici speaks on 'The Progressive Process of Desocialization', how capitalism breaks down communities and people's human relationships of care. Next it is the turn of Richard Wolff who applies his Marxian class analysis to the US household, noting that more and more adults are rejecting the traditional (feudal) model of domestic exploitation and either living alone or in more egalitarian patterns.
