We discuss the film's depiction of hardscrabble American life in the early 20th century, and Malick's holistic view of humanity and nature. PLUS: an alarming update on the state of Canadian media, and the U.S. Congress condemnation of socialism."On Earth as It Is in Heaven" by Adrian Martin - https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/555-days-of-heaven-on-earth-as-it-is-in-heavenMichael and Us is a podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage.

Folge vom 08.02.2023Long Reads: Kevin Anderson on the Anti-Colonial MarxCritics of Karl Marx claim that he was incapable of recognizing forms of oppression that aren't linked to a narrow understanding of class. Kevin Anderson challenged that view in his book, Marx at the Margins: On Nationalism, Ethnicity, and Non-Western Societies. Based on a careful reading of Marx's full body of work, it shows how Marx was far more attuned to questions of race and ethnicity than his critics would have you believe. Kevin joins Long Reads to discuss this often-overlooked side of Marxism.Read his essay, "No, Karl Marx Was Not Eurocentric" here: https://jacobin.com/2022/07/karl-marx-eurocentrism-western-capitalism-colonialismCheck out Pluto audiobooks at: tiny.one/jacobinAnd join the Left Book Club by using code WINFREE at leftbookclub.comLong Reads is a Jacobin podcast looking in-depth at political topics and thinkers, both contemporary and historical, with the magazine’s longform writers.
