Michael Brooks: Meditation, Materialism, and Marxism
🕑 Added 2020-07-21 23:41:36 +0000 UTCThis is a re-upload of an episode we did with Michael Brooks, who tragically passed away recently at the age of 36. In this episode, he talks about his life, his politics, his meditation practice, Buddhist and Marxist philosophy, and much more.
Michael's impact lives on and we humbly carry on his radical spirit of loving kindness, compassion, proletarian internationalism, and genuine existential decency.
More than anything, we honor and carry on his spirit of Revolutionary Love.
Rest in Power, Michael.

This is one of my favourite episodes and I was high as hell when I was listening to it, while talking to you about the lumpen having a role to play in being the shamans - I used the term witchdoctors, mistakingly - in a future communist society over twitter so it was quite an experience, the catalyst being the outro song, indeed. It’s such a young age to go. It shows how precious and rare life is, damn.
