Ending Capitalism To Save The World w/ Kim Stanley Robinson
Added 2025-02-18 20:00:25 +0000 UTCSci-fi Legend Kim Stanley Robinson joins Jamie Peck and Sam Beard to discuss the end of capitalism, why being a leftist gives him hope, what he thinks of Bill Gates and Obama’s takes on Ministry For the Future, and communism. Much is gathered and realized through the readings and this conversation. For example, did reading Ministry for the Future turn Sam into a Statist? Is KSR working on a new book? Can we defeat the death cult fury of the billionaire class? What is the role of utopian fiction in revolution? How did Fredric Jameson’s feedback affect Ministry For the Future??
Get Kim Stanley Robinson’s takes on Luigi Mangione, Bitcoin, sabotaging fossil fuel infrastructure, what he would add to Ministry For the Future today, and all the plane crashes everywhere....

2025-02-20 01:23:36 +0000 UTCI just joined the patreon, because hearing the rest of the conversation with KSR was what pushed me over into officially being a Fellow Traveler. The latest ep I see in my new feed is the 2/11 ep about Luigi taking the money y'all fund raised - is there a bit of a lag before the Patreon version uploads or is my RSS feed broken? Thanks!

2025-02-19 15:30:11 +0000 UTCVery interesting interview, thank you. One point is that I liked how when Obama came up we're told that he had a lot of challenging decisions but no citation needed image popped up. Still seems to me like Obama was a spokesperson for empire, he might have had certain kinds of smarts but he used them to enrich himself and ensure his elite status and not a lot more apart from the odd nibble here or there.
