Nice. I really enjoy The Temptest. One of my favorites from Shakespeare, actually. And I'll definitely have to check that out from Gaiman. He's one of those who I'm embarrassed to say I haven't read anything from yet. Thanks for the recommendation.

And if you have the time and wouldn't mind going to the Amazon page for the book and leaving a rating and a one or two sentence review that would be very useful to me.

Thanks for your interest and for giving the book a listen even if you don't have the time to review it, though. I really appreciate your comment here, and I'll definitely check out Miracleman.

holy shit

>The big economic story of our times is not the Great Recession. It is how China and India began to embrace neoliberal ideas of economics and attributed a sense of dignity and liberty to the bourgeoisie they had denied for so long



but wait there's more
>For a century and a half, the artists and intellectuals of Europe have scorned the bourgeoisie. And for a millennium and a half, the philosophers and theologians of Europe have scorned the marketplace. The bourgeois life, capitalism, Mencken’s “booboisie” and David Brooks’s “bobos”—all have been, and still are, framed as being responsible for everything from financial to moral poverty, world wars, and spiritual desuetude. Countering these centuries of assumptions and unexamined thinking is Deirdre McCloskey’s The Bourgeois Virtues, a magnum opus that offers a radical view: capitalism is good for us.

>McCloskey’s sweeping, charming, and even humorous survey of ethical thought and economic realities—from Plato to Barbara Ehrenreich—overturns every assumption we have about being bourgeois. Can you be virtuous and bourgeois? Do markets improve ethics? Has capitalism made us better as well as richer? Yes, yes, and yes, argues McCloskey, who takes on centuries of capitalism’s critics with her erudition and sheer scope of knowledge. Applying a new tradition of “virtue ethics” to our lives in modern economies, she affirms American capitalism without ignoring its faults and celebrates the bourgeois lives we actually live, without supposing that they must be lives without ethical foundations.

i think im going to die from an overdose of ideology

There's a reason Donald Duck is a Disney character that is very popular outside the capitalist hegemonic USA. Carl Barks and Don Rosa are the Marx and Engels of Disney comics : ^ ). Duck Tales is disgustingly revisionist, ignoring the daily proletarian struggle of Donald under disgusting capitalist family member Scrooge.

Recommended reading for anyone who is interested in this.

>Andrae argues that Barks's oeuvre presents a vision strikingly different from the Disney ethos. Barks's central theme is a critique of modernity. His tales offer a mordant satire of Western imperialism and America's obsession with wealth, success, consumerism, and technological mastery, offering one of the few communal, ecological visions in popular culture. Although a talented visual artist, Barks was also one of America's greatest storytellers and, Andrae contends, lifted the comic book form to the level of great literature.

For US commie comic fans I really recommend the Fantanagraphics collections of these two great artists if you're interested.

Postcapitalism This one is not explicitly "socialist", but it's got a lot of good stuff to convince your more moderate friends.

#ACCELERATE

I dunno, there are a few. I'm a filthy left accelerationist though. Here is the manifesto, if you're interested

Great video comrade. A few things:
-Would have been great if you discussed the myth of the empty land and Boers moving inland due to british abolition of slavery
-You might have wanted to go into more detail about division within the ANC over joining with the communist party, Africanists such as Sobukwe opposed it
-You might of gone into more detail as to the nature of Apartheid policies
-Sharpeville was a protest organised by the local Pan-Africanist Congress not the ANC

• MK never achieved successful "continuous guerilla warfare", only small scale semi-regular attacks by the 80s, however this was never likely to overthrow the state.
  -ANC are now pretty neoliberal and refuse to pursue comprehensive wealth distribution.
  
  Here are a few sources on South Africa I find useful:
  Apartheid, 1948-94 Dubow,
  South Africa History Online,
  A-Level revision guide.
  
  Hope you find this helpful, keep up the videos!
  

The combination of your page being "intergalactic" and the pirate ship reminds me of that movie Treasure Planet.

I just love that whole aesthetic of wooden sailing ships in space, I wish there were more things like it.

Woah, $150!!

Here is an Amazon link for that book. Looks like it's $104 on Amazon, still out of my range but there are some suggested books there that are cheaper that look interesting. Maybe I'll convince my library to get it then I can try to scan it or something.

Yup. They are on amazon and actually taste pretty good. I found these ones in a restaurant in Chicago for 2 bucks a bottle.

The author isn't a socialist, but the subject matter should interest every marxist.

The Perestroika Deception

Please be true

Now, that's all well and good, if that was an accurate portrayal of Hegel's views at all. That's not Hegel, though that is some of his followers who understood as little as Schop.
