What Neoliberalism Actually is

Is Neoliberalism dead? Is Neoliberalism Dying? What is Neoliberalism actually? What are different forms of Neoliberalism? This podcast is all about understanding Neoliberalism, different types of Neoliberalism, and common misconceptions about Neoliberalism.  In this episode of 1Dime Radio, John Duncan (also known as JohnTheDuncan), a YouTuber and researcher who focuses on Neoliberlaism, joins us for a rich discussion on Neoliberalism. To understand if Neoliberalism is dead or on the decline, we have to understand the depths of neoliberalism and what differentiates it from different forms of capitalism. In this podcast, we analyze The Dimensions on Neoliberalism (social, political, and economic) and the different forms of Neoliberalism (Neoconservatism, Third-Way Neoliberalism, Social Liberalism, Ordoliberalism).

Inflation Myths Debunked

Everything you need to know about Inflation in one podcast. In this episode of 1Dime radio, I interview Dr. Phil Armstrong, an MMT economist who co-wrote a an important paper with Warren Mosler (MMT founder) on the real causes of hyperinflation in Weimar Germany. Contrary to popular belief, insane money printing was the consequence of rising prices (hyperinflation), not the cause of it.  You can find the research paper on hyperinflation in Weimar Germany here: http://moslereconomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Weimar-Republic-Hyperinflation-through-a-Modern-Monetary-Theory-Lens.pdf This begs the question, what really causes inflation and hyperinflation then? What even IS inflation? Does printing money cause inflation? In this episode, we answer all of the most common questions regarding inflation and Phil Armstrong shows us how Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) can gives us a more nuanced perspective on what causes inflation and what does not. Before diving into inflation, Phil also goes over core MMT concepts regarding fiat currency, the real purpose of taxation and the origin of money.  Phil also answers common misconceptions about interest rates, exchange rates, and their relation to inflation/rising prices. We hope you enjoy this podcast and if you want to learn more about MMT I highly recommend the following videos, lectures, books, and articles for further learning:  -The Deficit Myth: The Biggest Lie in Politics": https://youtu.be/75udjh6hkOs -L.

Simulacra and Simulation

Show Notes: This 1Dime Radio episode featuring David from the YouTube channel/podcast Theory & Philosophy is about the post modern theorist Jean Baudrillard (the "high priest of postmodernism") and his highly misunderstood concepts of Simulation, Hyperreality, Illusion, and the nature of reality. David is an academic who has wrote extensively about Baudrillard and has covered most of Baudrillard's texts on his podcast and channel Theory & Philosophy  (such as Simulacra and Simulation , The Perfect Crime , Symbolic Exchange and death , etc..).  Baudrillard is often associated with The Matrix film (which he did not think highly of), but he is a  highly misunderstood thinker and most YouTube videos and podcasts seem to get a lot of his core ideas completely wrong, such as the faux "Simulation vs Reality" distinction. David and I attempt the difficult task of trying to break down Baudrillard's ideas in simple terms and debunk misunderstandings about them.  But WARNING: This stuff will sound very confusing at first if you are not familiar with postmodern theory.  David/Theory & Philosophy's channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIq2xNjGAof0cCUaKbco6HQ  David's Twitter: https://twitter.com/DavidGuignion  David's podcast episodes on Baudrillard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD0DZDnJOp4&list=PLWp2B7872lfdLq-N4tanKKRjQVGmsTq1S&index=21  Intro song: Netwar by Steady Delta   Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OneDime You will get access to exclusive podcast episodes and my private discord chat!

What is Postmodernism?

A Podcast explaining what #Postmodernism and Postmodernity are featuring Jon (also known as TheLitCritGuy) a writer and academic.  In this podcast, we debunk some common myths about "postmodernism" and contrast two different ways of looking at what postmodernism is. One being postmodernism as a historical socio-cultural epoch and 2: Postmodernism as a theoretical style/tendency.  We go primarily over thinkers  such as Fredric Jameson (author of "Postmodernism: The Culture of Late Capitalism" , Jean François Lyotard (Author of "The Postmodern Condition") and a little about Derrida  and Foucault (who are often misleadingly associated with being "post-truth"). Postmodernism and its related concepts such as #Hauntology, Parody vs Pastiche, #latecapitalism, and the death of the metanarrative.   Song used in the intro: https://youtu.be/rTfa-9aCTYg Song used in the outro: https://youtu.be/CBL12gLG_DQ Check out Jon TheLitCritGuy's channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/JonTheLitCritGuyJohn's  John's Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheLitCritGuy  Podcast channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/1DimeRadio/featured My Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheRapNerd7 Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OneDime?fan_landing=trueYou will get access to exclusive podcast episodes and my private discord chat!

Solarpunk, Anarchism and Post-Work

For this episode I am joined by Andrew from the YouTube channel Saint Andrewism. We talk about the meaning of Solarpunk and its relationship with anarchism and libertarian communism. We discuss how solarpunk and post-capitalism tie into the notion of "post-work" (aka the liberation from the work as a necessity and the division of labor. We both emphasize the need for imagining new innovative post-capitalist futures rather than being stuck in the past.

Acid Communism

What is Acid Communism? In this podcast, I am joined by Adam Ray Adkins from The Acid Left Podcast to discuss Mark Fisher's concept of "Acid Communism"  and how it fits into his other ideas on Capitalist Realism, Lost Futures, Hauntology, and Post-Work. We discuss the relationship between the 1960's Counterculture, hippies, psychedelia, and past & present socialist movements. We will analyze the problems and lost potentials of these movements and we discuss the potential uses of pscyhadellics and their implications on consciousness.  We also critique problems with rational and strictly material appeals in the contemporary left and discuss how the left should regard spirituality and higher desires for things like meaning, freedom, and free time. Also for those who may still be confused, to be clear, "Acid Communism" is not a political system or a concrete ideology. It is merely a thought provoking concept that is still in its infancy. I recommended reading Mark Fisher's essay on it as well as Jeremy Gilbert's work on it to get a full grasp.  Show less Adam's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/art.o.dirt/ The Acid Left Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbLjoC_tct5byCV6JBoQPtA 1Dime video on Acid Communism: https://youtu.be/s-emOouzHEI Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OneDime?fan_landing=true
