Critical Theory Podcast on Self Thinking

diet soap kliman
The guest on this week’s Diet Soap podcast is the Marxist economist and radical thinker Andrew Kliman. Kliman is the author of the terrific books “Reclaiming Marx’s Capital” and “The Failure of Capitalist Production,” but this week we discuss a paper written by the members of the Marxist Humanist Initiative entitled “The Self Thinking Idea Does Not Mean You Thinking.” What that title means is that radical thought cannot be a merely private act, but must be organized and must pursue its own ends, apart from other agendas held by either individuals or the institutions that are founded as means of organizing thought.
