David Harvey on Karl Marx

[@RanderMinn]

I was angry at age 25, when my bachelor's of science led to attempting to repay tens of thousands in debt with a $7.50/hour wage. I was angry at age 29, when I was working my ass off for $12/hour with even more debt and a master's of science. Here I am at 35 with a PhD, seeing few to no academic openings, unemployment, no savings, and none of my debt repaid. Where will the revolution start? I'm ready to participate. My options seem to be revolution or disappearing into the Amazon and becoming a hunter-gatherer.

Randy M It will come, I promise you

[@grieverff8ff9]

@@Danskadreng haha. a revolution will come, but not yours. the current trajectory we're on would suggest that the Far right in the US is about to be "born" they don't exist yet, regardless of people's affinity to use "far right" as a weapon to smear people. when that happens the far left (your revolution) is going to collapse and we're going to end up with something completely contrary to the "ideal" you in-vision. the only thing you're going to accomplish is fucking everything up for the rest of us normal people. so thanks for that.

I just finished listening to this in bed. Loved it. De Balie, could you time-stamp the lecture and following discussion? I think it might improve the accessibility. For example the Picketty question is at 1:28:09 and Harvey's response is at 1:30:55

[@DeBalieTV]

Glad you enjoyed it! We will look in to the time-stamp and thank you for the suggestions.

[@legalfictionnaturalfact3969]

Theodore, that is a great idea. Perhaps you yourself could timestamp it in the comments for the uploaders. After all, they've already done you a solid by uploading.

Wait, did Wall Street and the African American community have a wealth transfer of 40-80 million, or billion dollars?

[@non-standardproletarian3356]

How relevant this is today while I watch from here in the US while the congress passes yet another 'stimulus' and give away to the corporations.

So we have an economic power game where no one suggests mandatory accounting in the schools.

10:50 Joker : But Harvey, we are already living in a society.

[@jordonwiersema2807]

33:00 Harvey says that if the falling rate of profit is correct then there should be less laborers, and cites a 1 billion person increase in workers since 1980. However, the population of the world has increased 3 billion since then, so I'm not really sure this is a good argument.

[@jordonwiersema2807]

Okay, did a little more research. The proportion did increase-if the overall population kept up with the increase in the workforce then the world population would have been 10 billion in 2010.

[@martinneal5240]

David is good to hear ...but he does a poor job on transitional revolutionary reforms when asked...eg he just said we should talk about things and ask that they be put on the agenda. The question asked for specific examples. One would be to organise around public ownership and control of finance and banks...more can be found in Trotsky's Transistional program for a socialist revolution...things like the demand to open the books and transparency.

[@Zayden.]

You were onto something... David Harvey is against socialist revolution. Look up the article by Jorge Martin that addresses Harvey's reformism and watering down of Marxism.

[@martinneal5240]

I have not followed it up but it seems he also has a bad posistion on imperialism ...says it no longer exists or something. That certainly ties together with the point you noted. Really disappointing @@Zayden.

Why when the guests really get going about something the moderator jumps into switch subjects?
