We met to discuss economic theory’s curious failures, how they relate to neoliberalist ideology, the manner in which the Crash of 2008 gave rise to the transition of capitalism to technofeudalism, and the prospects of international solidarity to give humanity a chance to escape both technofeudalism and the climate emergency. However, we spent the first 20′ speaking about the events in Palestine/Israel (see here for a separate video). To go straight into the intended conversation, jump to 28′.
