The Proletariat Controls the Means of Production

This time around, Langdon and Eden dive deep into the early stages of human development, the Enlightenment and our political predicament with Wengrow and Graeber's "The Dawn of Everything"! But first, they take a trip to a more recent time, looking at the rise and fall (and rise) of "dark" progressive music through the lens of Pain of Salvation's current...situation. Then the conversation turns to the folly of the Enlightenment's rigid perception of history and the meaning of a broader, more playful political imaginary for Marxists/leftists!
