Van, I can't wait for your memoir, to see how you came to understand the world's power structures so well and so dynamically (so attuned to their inner contradictions and ways of preserving themselves in changing conditions). I say this because each of us has got to move through a similar awakening, which is far more than an intellectual challenge to us all but primarily an existential one.
Part of the latest episode of the pod! https://youtu.be/_W0WGw_Esuk?si=kx297aJMEx5TpNd5. Where Riley and Brenner fall short is on the geopolitics of the long downturn, which is where I come in. I haven’t corresponded with them about this but I’m sure they’re on the same page as my primitive accumulation thesis
