The State is Counter-Revolutionary (Part 3)
🕑 Added 2020-04-16 04:36:00 +0000 UTCHey patrons! Just thought I would keep you up to date on my progress on part 3. This one is going to be A LOT of effort. I haven't finished the script at this point and there is a lot left. I am still reading the resources which will be utilized in the video. The three books which will contribute most to this video and the next are:
Maurice Meisner "Mao's China and After"
Chuang "Sorghum and Steel"
James C. Scott "Seeing Like a State"
I hope you all stick around as this one will probably be out pretty far behind schedule! However, I have a lot of part 4 done, as I wrote a substantial portion of it in an earlier draft when this was going to be a one part video (lol, wow...those were the days) and is being updated regularly as I have more thoughts on the theory of the state.
I also plan, when I reach 1500 subscribers, to do a livestream reading of Albert Camus' "The Myth of Sisyphus," as I think that it's the philosophy that helps me most in truly terrible times and I know everyone is very scared and exhausted because of the pandemic. I'm currently at 1416, so that's not too far away!
Anyway. Stay safe and healthy, everyone. And don't forget to tell everyone you know to google Murray Bookchin!
