Party GirlsEndgame: Line Goes Down w/ Jamie MerchantJamie Peck speaks with Jamie Merchant, author of the book Endgame: Economic Nationalism and Global Decline, about the current state of things. As recently as the early 2000s, technocratic elites had come to a consensus around a fully globalized neoliberalism, but the crash of 2008 touched off a shift back towards economic nationalism that nobody could’ve predicted (except for Marx and people who’ve read Marx). How did we get here, and how might we exit the ever-worsening boom and bust cycle of capitalism? The Jamies discuss.

Party Girls3.13 - The State and Revolution, Chapter 6 and Post ScriptIn this exciting conclusion to our series on State and Revolution, the ELC crew engages with Chapter 6, which is Lenin's summary of different arguments had by his contemporaries. Lenin dissects arguments made by reformist Marxists like Georgi Plekhanov and Karl Kautsky, contemporary anarchist thought, and "left Radicals" like Antonie Pannekoek. He simultaneously attacks those he calls opportunists like Kautsky, while distinguishing his position from those of Anarchists. What is the difference between Marxism and Anarchism? Why did Lenin leave State and Revolution unfinished? Jamie, Jorge, and Aaron discuss.

In this phase, you still have to go to work and earn money but now your boss is the state, albeit a state whose foundational goal is its own death-by-withering. Only once the economic basis for that withering is achieved can we ascend to "higher-stage communism" a.k.a.

Drawing from the experience of the Paris Commune, Lenin explains the necessity of smashing the bourgeois state machinery and replacing it with a "dictatorship of the proletariat," a.k.a. the proletariat organized as the ruling class. What does this mean? What does it look like? Can the state really just wither away? J+J discuss.
