Regarding your example of the Asian work ethic, keep in mind that countries like Japan and South Korea have been heavily influenced by Confucianism and its work ethic which is traditionally interpreted in terms of diligent loyalty toward one's superiors.

For such a long episode, it would be been awesome if you initially explained what "selling indulgences" and "purgatory" even is I had to search to figure it out, which is fine But it would've been nice if it had been explained I did not at all know it was a thing It is truly crazy and again shows all the contradictions with hierarchical institutions as well as how their defenders are completely unaware of how messed up they are while blaming others Anyways, great episode once again

Excellent episode to be sure. From breaking down his arguments, it really sounds like his conclusion is a series of inferences, not actually stated by leaders at the time in any way, or without sources.

“Marxism teaches us that history is not meaningless. The present situation is not an expression of the madness or the inherent wickedness of men and women. The great philosopher Spinoza once said: “neither weep nor laugh, but understand!” That is very sound advice, for if we are not able to understand.” - Alan Woods, What is Marxism?

This podcast seems takes a Revisionist historical view of all the issues. It appears to repeatedly interpret Calvin through the lens of those who would take the most carnal position rather than those who reasonably assess Calvin in line with Scripture. This podcast seems to assume the former were not only the most dominant but the only position worth discussing. But I would think the theology of the Sabbath in relation to the importance of "rest" would be a an important part of the Protestant work ethic and would balance the position presented here.

Just read the book. Weber mentions the publication of the Book of Sports in the 1630s by King James I and Charles I which made allowances for leisure activities on the Sabbath Sunday. Implied is that it was decreed maybe as antagonistic to the strict rules Calvinists adhered to.

Good philosophical question...though things have become more diffuse since Weber's days. The answer is complex (and thus one way capitalism perpetuates itself ideally).

Nice podcast, I have really enjoyed it thus far, but I would like to make an argument on the last segment regarding the persecution(3 last minutes of the episode). It is very dangerous to justify a persecution, even more dangerous to say that they brought it upon themselves.
@beenasfarastodecidetouseve67333 жыл бұрын
I liked this podcast, but found this part funny. Imagine applying the same logic to the countless Jewish persecutions throughout history. With the same logic: "how could everyone who persecuted them be wrong? What are the chances! They brought it upon themselves." Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to discuss when particular groups DO bring persecution on themselves. But I doubt these two would speak so openly about any other group that isn't Christian.

John Calvin held the inverse of capitalism. His view on usury would prohibit the rise of a commercial banking class and absolutely prohibited interest on loans to the poor, which would have been most of the working class population of all Europe. Capitalism rises from the civil nation state and empire, not the church. Nationalized greed not individual works of piety. Way too simplified theological history in this episode. Jesus cleansing the temple of moneychangers proves the theological point. Protecting the poor from the business class is required for the christian. Chicago School be damned!

@@RevolutionandIdeology right. Anyway, I don’t recall saying anything about being mad, but if that’s your takeaway, fine.
