“Historian”, what? No, you aren’t an historian, facts seem to be optional to you. The FACT that racism is acceptable in non western white societies seems to pass you by without comment, you are only able to play the “ Race “ card where racism is only a negligible event and mainly exhibited by those of Sub Saharan African ancestry against Asians or white Indo Europeans. As for slavery, where would the Europeans have obtained slaves if not from their black and Arab captors, the slave trade was thriving for 300 years before the Europeans arrived in Africa, so suggesting the “ White man” was the problem is quite absurd. White Europe, and especially British wealth was created by white people, through innovation and technology, and the white working class, who, up until my father’s generation ( who served in WWII ) left school at 14 and worked in mines and heavy industry, not a black slave to be seen I’m afraid, they were unnecessary and would have had to have been given accommodation and food, unlike the indentured Scottish miners whose wives and infant children also worked in the mines, and who were flogged for trying to run away. Olusoga , you are a rather selective “ Historian “ who capitalises on false claims of exclusive victimhood, sadly there are many wilfully ignorant who will not critically examine your work.

Disturbingly corrupt.

Great talk. I very much agree ☺️ Thank you for sharing. There’s sooo many good Graeber quotes but one of my all time favorites is “I often say, one thing that is Not a scarce resource of the world is- imaginative people with possible solutions to intractable problems. There’s probably no one in the entire world that doesn’t have some idea that we have never thought of- and we’re both pretty smart guys.” *classic Graeber giggle* -David Graeber, talking with Peter Theil, referring to the importance of equal access to time and tools to be innovative

He is a liar .Twists the truth. Chip on the shoulder .

he is a race baiter grifter...I loathe him...

"... key moments of intrigue and struggle" what crap, by and about reformists mis-leading the working class is all Labour have done, with details like Establishing the Racist State out of the British colony in Palestine, not mentioned by this clown

My copy just arrived, late afternoon. Only knew of it, as saw Dave Randall accompanying Roland Gift [ 3 times now].

He’s incompetent at best and darn right liar the rest of the time. So called ‘historian’ writes a book that says 60,000 Brits died at the first day of the Somme, he doesn’t know the difference between casualties and deaths, how can you trust someone who gets simple basics like this wrong?

David . Your nothing but a lying bullshiter. A race baiting idiot Why do constantly try to give legs to the myth that black people have been In the uk since the Roman period? Why are the children's books you write full of lies and inaccuracies. And idiot or grifter? Why do try to give over importance to the contribution that black people have made to this country? Continuing the myth the windrush generation were Invited to this country? The Mary Seacole lies?

So managers are a "bullshit" job? We capitalists will keep that in mind as you socialists/communists want to "manage" the economy... Oh, the HYPOCRISY!

Agreed

David should seriously consider suing fake racist 'historian' Simon Webb for professional defamation.

A complete race grifting piece of rubbish, lol! No wonder this didn't fly very well 😅

Such an important and valuable conversation and movement! Thank you for making this work and conversation available! :)

A great introduction to the issue. Every statement can be verified. 🌷📣🌷

I am shocked this has not got a wider audience, due to the subject matter.

is it 0:29 "defense spending is set to rise to 2.5% of GDP that could be as high as 75 billion a year" or is it "defense spending to 2 and a half% of GDP which is around 10 billion a year" @ 4:39. C'mon guys, this is very sloppy presentation of data. Let's keep our messaging clear and consistent.

He just wants to blame white people for everything and make black people innocent of everything. Pseudo-historian.

Great to see all the opinions on 'set hours'. The concept of 'set hours' from my point of view means essentially that you are expected to contribute to communal production. In communities such as Twin Oaks (Virginia, US) where there is a set (x hours per week) expectation, that 'x' varies for everyone according to communal demands, and in individual instances according to age, health, (you get holidays) and so on. When I have lived and stayed in self-provisioning communities (for years), 'work' and how (including for how long) it is done it presents challenges. To ensure everyone's basic needs will be met requires planning and commitment. Your essential needs won't necessarily be met if just anything goes in terms of who does what, for how long, for all. Its all negotiated in assembly style decision-making. In places where everything is liberal, say without set hours, people can get really irritated by those who aren't generous with their time, or some people get stressed out working too hard, and no-one knows when certain jobs can start or finish and so on and on. Set hours has always suited me because I know what the expectations are and I fit in. Work is great fun because it is collective, and because the community decides altogether what to do and how to do it. The community decides what is' work,' which sometimes includes going on demonstrations, and can be creative, caring, and a whole lot of other work for which you normally aren't paid in capitalist societies. Set hours cannot lead to abstract labour, which necessarily requires a universal equivalent (money) as part of the equation. I think of set hours in the same way as weight or length (2kg apples; 1ha food forest) and in a world without money all those in-kind measures are important and concrete and relate to concrete matter. Monetary measures (prices, profits, coins) are abstract.

I haven't worked for Amazon specifically, but I have worked in warehouses a lot, and I would like to add that in my personal experience a lot of time, in tandem with pressure to work faster, there's this kind of stigma attached to injury where either supervisors or even other coworkers will kind of shame people who get injured like it was somehow their fault even when it's like a muscle strain or repetitive motion issue. And this sometimes even leads to people who got injured being looked over for raises or promotions. As a temp worker at a place in 2015 I was actually fired for getting injured.

British bastards.

She seems to be talking about a minority of ALFA MALES . But the carceral feminist advocates locking a man up forever .

What do you intend to do with the encarcerated people while they are serving their time ? Be cause eventually they get out again . The encarcerated lack guidance . Feminism does not offer any answers .

You know there are violent women too .

I’m making this entry in the year 2023 December . Your ideas are communist in nature . The violence you speak of , most times , you bring on yourself . Faulse allegations have escalated since 1996 . I did 20 years in prison .

As if the murder of 6 million Jews in WWII wasn’t enough. If Israel laid down their guns then Hamas et.al. would decolonize via a gruesome genocide and a second Holocaust. Radical progressives never take responsibility for the results of their praxis. There are no solutions, only trade-offs.

Yes

i was first exposed to Graeber probably through his like mini accounting of his own grandmother's death and his processing of all the bureaucracy. I've not had the privilege to read his longer form work but this looks like a really lovely addition to the stack of his own that I plan on finding. I've been finding a lot of inspiration from his lectures recently, thanks for publishing this!

David blocked me on twitter for politely reminding him that he has been totally silent on the genocide in Gaza. Silence is complicity, especially when you have a platform. Why is he not speaking out against Israel's war crimes and the racism and colonialism experienced by Palestinians? Perhaps he values his career more than justice?
