HIGH THEORY 2 - "Eclipse and Re-Emergence of the Communist Movement"

HIGH THEORY is the joint effort of The Antifada & Swampside Chats that tackles the riddle wrapped up in an enigma that is communization. Grant & Lexi visit Jamie, Sean & Andy in studio to interrogate the 2015 George Lucas Special Edition of the 1974 foundational communization text "Eclipse and Re-Emergence of the Communist Movement", written (mostly) in 1969–72 (mostly) by Gilles Dauvé.

#95 - "The Idea of History"

The Gang is back on the forced march of history with our most direct Bonapartist dictatorship ever, courtesy of returning guest Jean Allen of Opposition Radio. Under their sway, we’ve been seduced from proletarian materialism towards the highfalutin British Idealism of Robin George Collingwood, and we read the epilogue to the posthumous 1945 collection "The Idea of History". Not one step back, my good chap! https://soundcloud.com/rosa-luxemburg-443243978 patron.com/swampsidechats
