For more of our analysis, check out this video:

"The more bourgeois china is broken, the better fares the [fascist] Party, the more inextricably is the bourgeoisie tied to its protection racketeers and the more noiselessly it has to abdicate lever after lever of its economic power to the [fascist] Party." - Sohn-Rethel

Fascist forces begin as useful for liberal bourgeois rule in times of acute crisis. For a fascist state to emerge, these same forces must gain ahold of the state. Fascists are a bourgeois protection racket. Fascism is when the racket gets ahold of the books.

In the seventh episode (and the second seriesish - new aesthetic), we discuss debates between the first and second waves of ecosocialism on Marx's view of nature, and the importance of understanding this today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qwt...

In the sixth episode, we discuss the revisionist controversy in the German social democrat party. We then offer the lessons of this as a way to begin discussing problems in the contemporary communist movement. www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8_j...

In the fifth episode, we discuss how to approach Marx's life and work, the danger and necessity of canonisation, and the importance of developing both analytical and popular Marxist approaches. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFzo...

In the fourth episode, we take a look at the concept of class in Marxism. We begin by highlighting that Marx never gave a definition of the concept, but only of concrete classes, then work backward to illustrate some elements of his view. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN68...

Episode three looks at the "base-superstructure" framework used by Marx in his famous "Preface to a Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy". It looks at many vulgar applications of this, and a recent intervention which outlines its limits. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkjR...

The second episode looks at the concept of a mode of production in Marx's work and Marxism more broadly. It gives an overview of the concept and a critique of common reductionist errors in its application. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBxV...

The first episode of the series gives an introduction to its overall purpose and the need for more detailed introductory materials within Marxism. This one is a very short primer on the general problems the series is intended to address! www.youtube.com/watch?v=QV-c...

And I would say the struggle for clean air in general is as important as the struggle for clean water

Thank you comrade!
