I get the sense that it's not Pills's favorite mode, but I actually really enjoy the periods towards the end of these episodes when everyone gets a little loose and loopy and argumentative.
In the PCF it was Lefebvre who led to the battle against Lyssenkoism, which ultimately resulted in his being expelled. In the 40s he worked often on aesthetics to solve the dilemma. Once he was free of party control, he developed this in terms of rural and urban sociology. He opposed Althusser and all structuralism, engaging more with Lucien Goldmann. I was prevented from doing my PhD on Lefebvre ( Visual & Cultural Studies, university of Rochester, 2000 ) on the view that Lefebvre was a Zhdanovist. The discussion reinforces the relevance not only of the inevitability of ideology, but, to use a different concept, alienation, which reinforces the importance of the early Hegelian ( humanist ) Marx.
The accent guy who's always angry is the counter-point to pill's "things always get worse but I stopped caring in my childhood." I'm personally more for the chill streams.
Talking about ( humanist ) subject, the achievement of the Third International was to transpose the problem of humanism, the liberal legacy, without which there is no Marxism, into a problem of party, leadership and programme. Wolfgang Streeck has the most determinist line of thought on the question of transition, saying that only capitalist depradation will destroy capitalism. The autonomists are also determinist but in the most naive mechanistic ways. I've used the Discourse of the Analyst to describe the function of the party but more recently devised a "total' theory, with all 4 discourses applicable. I asked Zizek about this possibility but no reply.
Surely if ideology is materially determined, those with a lot of overlap in their material conditions would have similar ideologies which is not true. It would also mean that ideology only changes with a change of material conditions which is also not true.
Not philosophy per se, but is there enough meat on the bones to do an episode re: Julian Jaynes' 'Orgin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind'?
Heh. I haven't heard this book name dropped since I used to listen to all of the Psychedelic Salon recordings of Terence McKenna. What are your thoughts on the book?
@@cloudbusting_ I haven't fully parsed it, but honestly the text seemed compelling, certainly it's audacious; however the dearth of opinion for/against Jaynes or the aforementioned title(his sole work I believe) give the impression his theory wasn't able to get any traction. When searching for mentions of Jaynes (that did not originate from the Jaynes Society) I was surprised to learn Phillip K.

Great having Diego's perspective.

As a Bronze Age (post neolithic as you point out) archaeologist I would say, no ideology without social complexity involved with social inequality.
Althusser: definitely not Stalinist enough!

Eric being at stage 2 marxism - the soviet lore stage - was my favorite momeny😂
There's always a contingency.
I'm prety sure that I like Diego on Marx though.
I prefer analysis grounded with material reality over idealism imo
"Althusser mistranslated Capital into spanish to try to distance Marx from Hegel"
Oh, yeah, that's what I'm here for, gossip about dead people!
What is the Aristotle concept Diego refers to at the 50 min mark?
I think it is Updog

Wow Diego, way to hamfist full of mouth theory before the third minute. Its almost as if you're doing the very thing that you pretend to critique.
Is Diego Ruzzarin a grifter? Why is he selling his books for $300 a pop?
You sure that price isn't in Mexican pesos? I am being serious.
It's in Mexican Pesos. Comes to $14.75 USD
@@tirtic1756 Ah I could have sworn I saw $ but I guess they use that as well for the peso? That would make a lot more sense.
