Separation V: Cartel Structures

We are bringing back the Close Reading series. This time we are joined by Constance to tackle a much larger text: Critique of the Gotha Program. We are working off of the new edition published by Spectre. This episode we review the Gotha Program itself and the 1875 letter from Marx to Bracke concerning the "marginal notes" he sent for private circulation.
