THE MAU MAU HOUR w/PASCAL ROBERT: The Uselessness of Hyperpolitics ft. Daniel Bessner

Apr 28, 2024

Apr 28, 2024

54 min

Explore the influence and impact of hyperpolitics, mass movements, and the power elite on modern democracy in the latest episode of This Is Revolution podcast. This intriguing discussion features our special guest and renowned political analyst, Daniel Bessner, and is incisively hosted by Pascal Roberts.

Focusing on the rise of Black power, civil rights movements, and major political swings, our host and guest delve into the past and present landscapes of socio-politics in the United States. Listen as Bessner, a respected professor at Washington University, illuminates the role of political elites in decisively shaping the U.S. policies and decisions.

With academic expertise and political engagement under his belt, Bessner dissects the evolution of American political ideologies, touching on potential driving forces behind these shifts, such as ideological development, changing demographics, and the growing influence of the liberal white power elite.

The discussion beautifully unravels the mysteries surrounding hyperpolitics and its implications, digging deeper into societal power interactions and exploring the theory of 'Power Elite.' We also question the future of mass politics in America, relate power dynamics to current socio-political unrest, and provoke thoughtful views on global protests and consciousness shifts worldwide.

Engage in an eye-opening conversation that ponders on philosophical intricacies of current political theories, examines the effectiveness of mass politics, and scrutinizes power dynamics. In this enlightening episode, Bessner further explores the predictable shift in regional hegemonic power, the complexity of bureaucracy, and the impact of surveillance on an increasingly financialized society.

Don't miss this riveting dialogue as we dive deep into the political world, dissecting arguments, interpreting theories, and challenging the status quo. Enlighten yourself with insights from an expert's perspective and immerse yourself in this engaging and thought-provoking conversation with Daniel Bessner on the This Is Revolution podcast.

Ep. 587: Spinoza and Marx on the Politics of Work ft. Jason Read

Apr 18, 2024

Apr 18, 2024

1hr 5 min

 
Even as the rewards of work decline and its demands on us increase, many people double-down on their commitment to wage slavery—working harder, doing overtime, and learning to hustle. To paraphrase Spinoza, why do people fight to be exploited as if it were liberation?
 
To find the answer, The Double Shift turns to the intersection of Marx and Spinoza and examines contemporary ideologies and the modern phenomena of work—motivational meetings at Apple Stores, the culture of Silicon Valley, as well as film and television, from Office Space to Better Call Saul—to argue for the transformation of our collective imagination and attachment to work.
