Magnificast Classic: Love and Communism w/ Richard Gilman Opalsky

The Magnificast

Happy Valentines Day/Ash Wednesday. Here's a classic ep to help us think about love.

"Love is a power, and for that reason we cannot sequester it from all politics or keep it trapped in theological and mystical privacy. Love is not a neutral power that agrees with everything. But love lives precariously in a world that vacillates between not knowing what it is and subjecting it to the values of capital."

This week, Matt and Dean talk with Richard Gilman-Opalsky about his new book The Communism of Love
An Inquiry into the Poverty of Exchange Value (https://www.akpress.org/communismoflove.html.)

Intro Music by Amaryah Armstrong
Outro music by theillogicalspoon
