Send us a textPlease support our patreon.  For early and ad-free episodes, members-only content, and more.This is the first of a Patreon series of streams: we are making it free as a bonus. Nicolas Villareal and C. Derick Varn debate Althusser all the time on Twitter and messages.   While Varn has had Nico on before to talk about Econophysics and Structural Marxism,  Varn and Nico often talk about this antagonistically.  This is the first of what is literally to be an irregular series as both their time allows where they discuss and debate the limits of anti-humanist/humanist debates.  Because dialogue is better than stupid debates on Twitter and having them devolve into Marxology and left beefs, we will do this here.  This is brought to you by patrons of VarnVlog. While this episode is available as a public stream, the audio will be for patrons only. You may want to check out Nicolas Villareal's recent article. You may also want to listen to this. You may want to listen to and/or read these three articles.Abandon all hope ye who subscribe here.   We are affiliated with the Emancipation Network.Crew:Host: C.
