Excerpt: /391/ Aufhebonus Bonus - Feb 2024

On our '1914 vibes'. And your questions & comments. [Patreon Exclusive] We discuss the parallels between our age (the end of globalisation, the threat of war) with the end of the Belle Epoque in the early 20th century. What might Lenin have to teach us? We then turn to your questions and comments on:
  • Palestinians as surplus population
  • Peripheral countries as 'imitators'
  • Whether Brexit has led to greater political accountability
  • Why Ridley Scott sucks
  • Why contemporary art sucks
  • Bonapartism and techno-populism
  • Romanticising dead workers - and old social-democrats
  • Esoteric knowledge about how the world *really* works
