The lefties I follow are sharing lectures by Murray Bookchin, who would have been 100 years old today. His works have had a profound impact on many organizations and individuals that I respect, so I pulled this one up and started listening. I'm about 1/4 through and my mind is a puddle. His words have prompted at least five different profound tracks of thought, and their prescience of and applicability to our current moment cannot be overstated.
his realistic take that any system can become hierarchical and oppressive is refreshing. just because you have a revolution and establish committees and workers councils doesn't means that you're going to over come hierarchy or class society....
Bookchin the New York prophet. This one is an absolute gem ringing with truth and relevance 45 years later. If humanity survives he'll be among the saints - such clarity of vision spoken in what it is, common sense. He couldn't see the scale of the addiction, the web of addictions. Or maybe could, he just still hoped, he saw a way.
You should edit the audio for this so that the volume stays the same it should not be that hard. There are some spots where it gets so quiet. I can hardly hear it even if I max out my volume
Must be nice to think this way and be appreciated. These days the mechanical and the biological are interchangeable in most peoples' minds. I like what he means by the organic but am cautious of anyone who apes this rhetoric today.
it's still a good observation even if the WTC no longer exists. I imagine you would get that same feeling he describes if you were looking out from the top of any tall skyscraper.

I'd never heard MB talk before. Now I'm a convert! Brilliant, inspiring, prophetic and chilling: we ignore this guy at our peril...
Well said. I feel similarly
Dude pretty much warned us of silicon valley neoliberalism
elon musk
Read Bill Joy's piece: _Why The Future Doesn't Need Us_ published in _Wired_ .
Yeah Elon musk exemplifies everything Bookchin is warning against.
He is such an inspiring speaker....Gosh, if only I could talk like that.....
OMG this guy. My favourite thinker.
He is spot on! The world needs to hear this message now
Man, they had Kenneth Boulding, Murray Bookchin, and Alexander Solzhenizin talking in the same event!!! WOW I wish I was already born at the time
This hits so hard in 2024!
This is so inspiring.

Murray's classes at Alternate U were the most crowded and boisterous that were.

Yes, they took his lead - organic and development and growth were all subsumed by capitalist technocrats!

It didn't have to. Bookended by reality. Enola Gay. Drone warfare. End of discussion.
Ben Franklin was not a philistine! That was a low blow, Murray. I thought Utopians were nice people.
Murray Bookchin was a polemecist and not at all concerned with being nice.
