We then have a long discussion about the Federal reserve, the military-industrial complex, and the Covid regime where he explains why communists should be against all of them. We also discuss the chaotic 2024 election cycle and the future of the United States. There is a surprising amount...2024-07-231h 17Emancipations PodcastEmancipations PodcastMarxism and the Absence of Socialism in America: A Conversation with Carlos GarridoWe welcome philosopher Carlos Garrido for a conversation on the theoretical and practical challenges facing the left in America.

Garrido, author of the book The Purity Fetish and the Crisis of Western Marxism and co-founder of the Midwestern Marx Institute, joins the Forum to discuss his book's premise of the Western Marxist's "purity fetish" which dates back to the Eleatic school of Greek philosophy. Garrido argues that the goal should be to transition from a PMC (professional managerial class) Left to a working class centered left; moreover, he elaborates that there are already subjective and objective conditions that facilitate revolutionary potential.
