THIS IS REVOLUTION＞podcast Ep. 273: The Problems with Race Reductionism in Sociology w/ Dr. Zine Magubane

Friday Apr 22, 2022

Friday Apr 22, 2022

It is often said that racism is ingrained in the DNA of America. An unavoidable consequence of a country founded on the notion of White Supremacy. Critical Race Theory architect Derrick Bell spoke of "interest convergence" meaning, the interest of all Black people achieving racial equality will only be accommodated when it converges with the interests of whites." Do shared racial connections outweigh class analysis? Does Critical Race Theory, Intersectionality, and Anti Racism, ignore working class struggles and embrace capitalist reforms?
 
Zine Magubane
As an historical sociologist and an Africanist, my aim has been to show that because the development of sociology has always been so closely connected with the colonization of Africa, sociology has always been ‘global’. It has also, however, produced knowledge in the service of colonial power. The connections between the history of sociology and the practice of colonial rule are, however, not well known. My work aims to change this. Much of my work is oriented around demonstrating that the frustrations that sociologists are currently experiencing about the limited abilities of our theories and methods to meet the challenge of studying global and transnational social processes are the results of this particular aspect of sociology’s disciplinary history having been occluded. The inadequacy of many of the normative presuppositions that underlie sociology’s core interpretive premises are, I have argued, are the logical outcome of the elision of this key aspect of our disciplinary history.

THIS IS REVOLUTION＞podcast Ep. 272: What the Left Gets Wrong About A.I. w/ Dwayne Monroe

Wednesday Apr 20, 2022

Wednesday Apr 20, 2022

The concept of “artificial intelligence” is aspirational and according to our guest "does not describe any existing or likely to exist computational system. Despite this, the concept is promoted to attract investment capital and customers but also, more critically for my purposes, devalue the power of labor – if not in fact than in perception (which, in turn, becomes fact). For this reason, I assert that ‘AI’, as a concept, is part of a propaganda campaign."

Friday Apr 15, 2022

Friday Apr 15, 2022

Over a century ago when the crisis of capitalism caused debates immigration, reproductive rights, sexual orientation, and male hierarchy, a reaction named Lothrop Stoddard appeared to protect the institutions most sacred to white male capitalist power. Is Jordan Peterson a 21st reincarnation of that project?

THIS IS REVOLUTION＞podcast Ep. 267: Ok Boomer! Generational Discourse Without Class Analysis

Wednesday Apr 06, 2022

Wednesday Apr 06, 2022

What are the origins of the term OkBoomer? Does this generational outcry stem from a reality in which discourse is controlled by youth due to the prevalence of social media, or is there a materialist socio economic basis to this framing that attempts to lay generational blame for our current reality on a certain cohort? Are there any political utilities to using generational analysis to shape political forecasting? What can we learn from such discourse? Should it be abandoned?
