Just finished listening to this, really great interview about the slow crisis of capitalism since the 70s, basically about how it keeps itself alive and eats itself at the same time:

"Fictitious Capital, Real Retrogression" - a 1 hour interview with Goldner on the 'Guns and Butter' show, KPFA radio, Berkeley.
http://archives.kpfa.org/data/20070404-Wed1300.mp3

Also this talk by Peter Linebaugh at Bristol Radical History group, on "the commons or the true commons":

And might as well mention Finally Got The News, documentary about the activities of the League of Revolutionary Black Workers:

There's been a few simple, entry level political topic shows on BBC lately. Obviously the editorial is liberal but some of the interview content has been pretty good. A scroll through the documentaries menu of iplayer should turn up a few bits.

I'm reading a book called This is London, the stories you never hear, the people you never see by Ben Judah. It's a good read but I can't decide if it's sensationalist and cherry picks the facts to tell a story he wants to tell or if it's really brilliant and a gamechanger. I'm only 1/4 through at the moment.

Edit: Having actually tried this I can certainly say that it needed the emulsifiers that the stuff in the shop has and wasn't that great. Also the stuff you get in the shop is fortified with vitamins, unlike this stuff.

I'm not too fond of any of the left libertarian youtubers I've come across. If you want an overview of the Spanish Revolution, which is mostly the modest type of content they produce, I say just read the wiki page. The Pewdiepie-ification of political or historical topics is not how I like such information served to me, and I don't really care for the inside references these videos are invariably filled with, leaving one feeling out of the loop. I'd rather keep things academic and just grab a book, or read a good blog.

Potrokin, just for sake of easy loading this page, can you not embed the videos, and instead just provide their title?
--

I wonder how easy it is now for oneself to make a documentary, on history, as someone tried to do for the ICC, or on an issue/society, in the vein of Debord's SotS.

So much footage is available to select from: A/V Geeks Film Archive, British Pathé, CriticalPast, Russian archive, etc.

To construct a visually well-made documentary, and not sloppily assemble the already most familiar footage, not mere illustrations for a scripted lecture (as the cartoons used in Kapitalism101's videos on Capital).

The technical skill to edit is not too great, I guess (I have no clue what the best video-editor programs are tho).

I'm aware that Bray has appeared on Democracy Now, and I believe, put his views across from a militant/ antifa perspective if I remember correctly.

(She characterizes anti-fascists as "thugs in masks smashing things in the streets"?) More importantly they put kings on adjacent squares at 2:30, which is a violation of the rules of chess. As I mentioned before I'm not so fond of YT political types; I'd rather get my politics from reading serious stuff.

The video about alpha males was great, as is contra's one about free speech in my view. I found the video on the left interesting and thought contra made some interesting points. Personally, I like quite a few left and anarchist political youtubers and find them entertaining, and am interested in what they have to say but I can understand that it's not for everyone and it shouldn't really replace academic stuff.

I got a kick out of Contra's ripping into the "golden one," but I don't really care for this. It feels like they're just throwing buzzwords at me, and I don't really know what to take away from it. (She characterizes anti-fascists as "thugs in masks smashing things in the streets"?) More importantly they put kings on adjacent squares at 2:30, which is a violation of the rules of chess. As I mentioned before I'm not so fond of YT political types; I'd rather get my politics from reading serious stuff.

More importantly though, what do you guys think of the baby bats?

Winged rats we could do without if you ask me.

I like the fact that their wings are basically their fingers, cool or what!

Koalas are cute. Gibbons are another animal I am fond of, they are so cool and the way they move makes me laugh, they are also rather human looking aswell ofcourse but they are unique aswell.

Heres a video of a Gibbon playing and stealing some bananas, there are loads of cool Gibbon videos on the interwebs:

Orangutans and Bonobos are other apes I like, infact anything that is not a common Chimpanzee or a Baboon is fine with me because they are nasty.

Koalas are really the only cute marsupials (and arguably the cutest of all mammals); the rest are eyesores. I'd still take a sugar glider over a blood-sucking bat though. Kangaroos are basically overgrown mutant bunnies, and baboons are complete bastards from what I've read of Robert Sapolsky (great book by the way, A Primate's Memoir).

Here is an Orangutan enjoying a magic trick:

Observe how differently this Baboon reacts to a magic trick compared to the Orangutan:

And here are some Gibbons enjoying a feast, notice how well behaved and cute they are:

Well that went downhill quickly. The thread started with Murray Bookchin and the labour theory of value but by page 3 it's changed to libcom's answer to Harry Hill.

A video on Antifascism,the production style confused me at first, but the video itself has a lot of information and interviews with anti fascists from many organisations, groups and parts of the world.

So I found two interesting podcasts by the BBC that may be of some interest, one's a biography of Louise Michel

The other is a philosophical round table hosted by Melvyn Bragg on Anarchism

Boris Malagurski's award-winning Canadian film "The Weight of Chains", dealing with the breakup of Yugoslavia from a different angle - finally, exclusively, on YouTube!

Watch the film that has stirred controversy around the world, screened at cinemas across Australia, Canada and the US, as well as at film festivals in London (Raindance), Belgrade (Beldocs), Havana, Ann Arbor, Toronto, and many others.

If you thought you knew why Yugoslavia broke up, get ready for 2 hours of shocking facts that will shed a different light on Western intervention in the Balkans. Nicknamed the "Serbian Michael Moore" by the oldest daily newspaper in the Balkans, Malagurski will expose the root causes of the Yugoslav wars and explain that the goal was for the West to create economic and geopolitical colonies in that part of the world.

Who's in the film? Everyone from former "Economic Hitman" John Perkins, Retired Major General of the UN Army Lewis Mackenzie, Canadian economist Michel Chossudovsky, Canadian journalist Scott Taylor, former Canadian Ambassador to Yugoslavia James Bissett, humanitarian Vlade Divac and the list goes on!

This film was funded exclusively through donations, so please support the project by buying a DVD of the film through the film's website:

Also! Please donate towards the next film that Boris Malagurski is working on: The Weight of Chains 2, which will continue the story where the first film ends! Watch the trailer and donate now at:
