Me on a podcast

Posted by David Roberts at 9:41 AM on 29 Apr 2008

I am on this week's podcast from PolticalAffairs.net. I'll confess when the PA guy called me I didn't know it was a record of "Marxist thought online," but hey, let a thousand flowers bloom. As it happens I was talking about a market-based carbon policy, kind of an odd subject for a Marxist podcast, but it was fun. If you listen closely, you can hear me stirring my lunch on the stove as I talk. Multitasking might explain why I was talking so damn slowly. It sounds like I'm high. (I wasn't, promise.)

I start in around the halfway mark:

Let a hundred DRs bloom

Let a hundred flowers bloom; let a hundred schools of thought contend!

Let a hundred commentators in the style of Dave Roberts appear in the media. Really -- the level of analysis is so much better than the norm.

The broadcast was by PoliticalAffairs, associated with the venerable CP-USA. The group has been quiet in the past couple of decades, but now shows some stirrings. It seems to be making an effort to be non-sectarian and environmentally aware.
