Aside from stuff already mentioned, History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps has been going on since at least 2011, is hosted by a philosophy professor based in London and Munich. It started with Thales and the Pre-Socratics, goes through ancient, and classical history, heads to cover philosophy in the Islamic world, then jumps back to cover medieval western Europe and after that has just finished a run on Byzantine/Eastern European philosophy. So that's about 330 episodes and then there's the accompanying shows covering Indian and African philosophy, albeit in a lot less depth because I guess there's fewer sources in a language the host reads. He's also talked about wanting to get to Chinese eventually. It's really in depth and if you've a passing interest it's worth a listen. Tides of History is good history stuff too, covering medieval and early modern European history.

Atrocious Joe posted:I know Spiked has the history of a "left wing" publication which makes it useful, but I'm surprised they're still going after Quillette got founded. It's mostly for the UK market and their trash writers regularly appear on TV here and one of them is a Brexit Party MEP now. Basically Spiked isn't just Spiked it's a couple thinktanks like the Institute for Ideas which exist to suck up money for "research" from tobacco lobbyists and the Koch's and any other right wing shithead you can think of.

"thanks to amber and matt for picking up the slack. once again. as always." If he quits he'd no longer get that Patreon dough and would need to get a real job and who wants to doable that?

My money is on Dan Bilzerian.

mila kunis posted:that said, if he says one word against the bolsheviks im cancelling him The left communist and anarchocommunist critiques of the Bolsheviks are very much good. That said, recently read a book on the French Revolution by someone called Jonathan Israel and lol the way he slobbers all over people like Mirabeau and Brissot is extraordinary liberalism. Of course he's a professor at an Ivy League school. Horrendous stuff, don't read Revolutionary Ideas.

Crowsbeak posted:I think acting like Noah Berlatsky. Which means idpol above all and ostracization of those who don’t agree or especially offer mild criticism kind of sums it up. Look at all the people who in this thread literally compare criticism to nazism. I mean. I think we have very good examples of the pathetic specimens in this thread. Yeah, you're calling Prince Myshkin, a genuine Marxist Leninist, a loving radlib and it's dumb. But then I've also seen anarchists called radlib so its almost as if the term has no real definition.

Crowsbeak posted:Funny how he acts like radlib. You can call yourself many things. But what matters is how you act. If you seek to silence mild criticism of idpol from Old School Socialists you’re no ML. Note how Noah Berlatsky also says he’s a socialist all the while slandering those on the left. Actions matter. And when actions are to silence mild criticism of ideas that are at best a minor part of the of workers liberation. And often used by reactionaries to silence forces seeking to advance the goals. You at best need to reassess your actions. If not reassess if you ever were as much a revolutionary you claim. Ah yes, we must be like the true revolutionaries, Anna and Dasha and Dasha. I also have no idea who Noah Berlatsky is but I'm not sure the credentials of an Atlantic writer self-describing as a socialist matter to many people who haven't already gone crack ping

Prince Myshkin posted:No it's true, Marxism rejects all forms of the dreaded idpol, which is why women had nothing to do with the October Revolution. The roles of genuinely radical women like Kollontai pushing ideas like free love did get written out of history pretty quickly (like when the Central Committee made her get married). Can't blame someone who thinks podcasting is praxis for being ignorant of that sort if thing

Crowsbeak posted:Hey. The central committee knew how to keep power. Thank God they did so СССР was there to crush nazism. Rather then allowing those who only dealt on their passions and policing all speech run it. Also Kolkontai ensures she didn’t meet the end many of those who put ego first did tragically in 37. Thank God the CC knew the way to keep power was removing all power from the Soviets, effectively disenfranchising the workers, crushing the peasantry and having anyone who disagreed on even the smallest tactical issue killed while allowing for a new class of comfortable bureaucrats to emerge. Proper job. Imagine concluding the purges of almost all the Old Bolsheviks was the right thing to do because hey, at least they beat the Nazis as if. Killing socialists is bad. Being fair, being a Stalin apologist checks with being socially regressive.

V. Illych L. posted:the bolshevik regime really did need to centralise control a lot. the country was in complete ruin and their whole mandate was based on making poo poo better right now. criticism is fair, but i think you're being unfair here - the anarchist way would've simply seen the union splintered and reduced to client states in pretty short order I think the Bolsheviks were slightly unfair when they turned the Red Army on anarchists, Left SRs, left coms and others before the purging turned on themselves with first the Workers Opposition crushed and then the rest. I'm not arguing violence in defence of the revolution is bad but I've got reasonable I think suspicion of leftists who happily other leftists for not sufficiently bending the knee. Plenty of things to say on how the USSR improved on things under the Tsars but that doesn't mean we need to down play the Bolsheviks inability to tolerate any dissent even when it was bang on the money.

V. Illych L. posted:i mean if you want to see where the suspicion of dissent came from you can just imagine the online left, except there literally is a major ongoing international effort to smother them in the crib But then you look at the Spanish revolution to see a good example of the Bolshevik strategy being loving stupid and ultimately ending up with the fash winning. I just do not accept the premise that a revolution only succeeds by purging dissenting voices entirely. The lesson I take away from the Bolshevik coup is that the existence of a left wing opposition is in fact vital to stop the inevitable products of the democratic centralist vanguard party policy, which were the revolution eating its children, until all you had left were the strongman and the yes-men he surrounded himself with, your Molotovs, Kaganovichs, Zhdanovs, idiocy like Lysenkoism where even science is beholden to the decisions of the party CC. Not to mention the growth of the nomenklatura. But it's fine, as a lib-soc I know that the fact the October Revolution succeeded means there will always be people who dream that one day I get purged along with or just after the fash & capitalists.

Ramadu posted:Who the gently caress prefers electric stoves over gas I grew up in an area that didn't have gas so just got used to cooking on electric stoves. Then I moved somewhere with gas cooking & suddenly everything cooked quicker & I was used to a way more sedate pace & the rhythms of working on an electric hob. I recognise that gas is better but I just like familiarity in the kitchen or else I get irrationally stressed out.
