Why Socialism Needs Spirituality (Red Enlightenment)
Jun 24, 2024
Graham Jones, author of Red Enlightenment, advocates for a materialist spirituality that merges socialist principles with scientific insights. He discusses how socialism and spirituality can coexist against the stereotype of socialists being anti-religion. The conversation touches on the overlaps between the tech industry and spiritual practices, as well as Alexander Bogdanov's contributions to systems theory. Jones emphasizes the need for a renaissance of socialist values to foster community and collective action, bridging gaps with spiritual communities.
