Political theorist Jodi Dean explains why the revolutionary argument of the Communist Manifesto is more relevant than ever - as work becomes less organized and capitalism advances into our modes of communication - and how the path laid out by Marx and Engels 169 years ago still stretches before us, as promise and target.

Jodi wrote the introduction to a new edition of The Communist Manifesto from Pluto Press: http://www.press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/distributed/C/bo26304630.html

No path but revolution: Introducing the Communist Manifesto.

At long last, I am posting a 2-hour interview with the GODFATHER, Adolph Reed. The original audio was corrupted and it took a lot of work to string together. But I've managed to get it into a form that you should be able to follow. We talk about a whole host of issues, but it's really a MASTER CLASS in Adolph's thought, and I'm really glad that I can offer it as a token of my appreciation. 

Topics include: 

-Organizing in the 1960's

-Black Power

-Adolph's critique of brokerage politics and representationalism

-Adolph's hot take on Black Lives Matter

-His beef with Paul Heideman and Jonah Birch (Their article can be found here: https://www.jacobinmag.com/2016/10/adolph-reed-blm-racism-capitalism-labor -- Adolph's brilliant response is here: http://nonsite.org/editorial/splendors-and-miseries-of-the-antiracist-left-2)

-And, lastly, Adolph's favorite dirty joke that he weaves perfectly into a great political argument.

Joining me to discuss race, class and the Democratic Socialists of America is Adolph Reed, Jr. He's a prolific commentator on black politics and has been on the socialist left for 50 years, so he's just the man to talk to about the upcoming DSA convention. In particular, we'll be addressing the proposal to establish an autonomous "Afro-socialist and Socialists of Color Caucus."
