Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The War on our Minds: Psychoanalysis for Revolutionary Futures (w/ Lara Sheehi)
Q: What is the main distinction between mainstream psychology and revolutionary psychology?
Mainstream psychology tends to focus on the individual and often aligns with preserving the social status quo, while revolutionary psychology explicitly critiques oppressive structures and seeks to disrupt how power shapes minds, aiming to liberate people politically and psychologically.
The DPRK's Sovereign Development Path and Revolutionary Internationalism (w/ Ju-Hyun Park)
Q: What exactly is the 20 by 10 Rural Development Plan and what are the highlights?
The plan targets 20 rural provinces to be transformed over 10 years, including hundreds of new facilities like hospitals, light industry factories (e.g., backpacks for schoolchildren), and significant agrarian investments such as the Shin-Iju Greenhouse Farm and large dairy operations to bolster food security and local development.
The DPRK's Sovereign Development Path and Revolutionary Internationalism (w/ Ju-Hyun Park)
Q: Could you elaborate on exactly what these reforms were and what place CIRMS held in the DPRK's broader political economy?
CIRMS is a system that guides how individual enterprises are managed, shifting some planning responsibilities to the unit level while keeping quotas set by the party and state; it aims to unlock worker creativity and increase production without changing the underlying relations of production.
Scars and Medals: Palestinian Resilience and Resistance amidst Occupation (w/ Mohanad Alsayed)
Q: What did Mohanad learn from his US visa experience and interactions with Hasbara?
He learned about the deliberate Hasbara strategies and the complexity of US-Israel relations, realizing that the narrative presented in the West often requires critical understanding and ongoing scrutiny to seek justice.
Imperial Marxism and the Political Economy of Intellectual Production (w/ Gabriel Rockhill)
Q: How do you push back against critiques of dialectical and historical materialism as reductive determinism in the academy?
Rockhill argues for a dialectical hermeneutics that weighs both the critical and valuable elements of bourgeois theory, separating useful insights from ideologically compromised positions, and emphasizes the integration of theory with practical revolutionary aims.
