The Double Shift: Spinoza and Marx on the Politics of Work | Red May 2024
The Double Shift: Spinoza and Marx on the Politics of Work
In a world of declining wages, working conditions, and instability, the response for many has been to work harder, increasing hours and finding various ways to hustle in a gig economy. What drives our attachment to work? To paraphrase a question from Spinoza, "Why do people fight for their exploitation as if it was liberation?" Jason Read’s The Double Shift turns towards the intersection of Marx and Spinoza in order to examine the nature of our affective, ideological, and strategic attachment to work. Through an examination of contemporary capitalism and popular culture it argues that the current moment can be defined as one of "negative solidarity." The distortion of the work ethic leads to a celebration of capitalists as job creators and suspicion towards anyone who is not seen as a "real worker."
Jason Read, Michael Hardt (mod).

Переглядів 1,6 тис.4 місяці тому
Beverley Best's ground-breaking new book, The Automatic Fetish: The Law of Value in Marx's Capital, lays out Marx's theory of value as a theory of movement through which the capital-machine, in a kind of perceptual physics, generates social forms of appearance that are the inversions of its inner operating mechanisms and confront us more like mirages than hallucinations. Drawing on current pers...

    To Phil's point about starting with the Benjamin's Theses on the Philosophy of History instead of ending with it. This sounds like John Holloway's latest book Hope in Hopeless Times that starts with the notion of revolution as pulling the emergency brake.

    @111bep 5 місяців тому

    Being part of a family, whether biological or chosen, has nothing to do with capitalism and everything to do with just being a human. Even before we had any type of societal structures people needed a village, a tribe, a group, for the most part. We are social creatures. And on top of that we are biologically inclined and wired to reproduce, even if you choose not to have children. It has nothing to do with creating the next generation of workers, as the gray haired lady stated. I can't bear to watch these people talk for 2 hours so I don't know if this is explained away somehow, but the fact that this is even a concept that some people hold seriously is mind-blowing and based on what I said, it crumbles instantly when you think about it for more than 2 seconds.

    • @ReemTahir
      @ReemTahir 2 місяці тому

      You weren’t listening. They are all saying family is natural and a good thing. In fact they say it is a refuge and form of protection from systemic exploitation. The difference is that they are saying the *nuclear* family needs to be abolished and we need to go back to being tribes by having grandparents, aunts & uncles, cousins, friends and larger, closely knit communities to protect each other. They are saying it is not fair to place the entire burden of providing on one man, and the entire burden of nurturing on one woman because it leads to burn out and in some cases it leads to abuse. They are also saying that a nuclear family (not anger extended family) is just playing into capitalism- where the parents and children are isolated and nothing more but consumers and worker bees for the economy. Naturally we used to hunt and build in packs. We took turns cooking, cleaning, and watching each other’s babies. Our children had many elders to look up to. And if any adults were abusive, we would ostracize and punish them as a group. I hope that makes sense.

      @alejandrocambraherrera8242 2 дні тому

      You are conflating the specific form of family that exists nowadays, the nuclear industrial family, with any possible arrangement of interpersonal support. We reproduce biologically? Yeah. We need other humans to live? Pretty much. But none of their claims contradict those things. They are basically talking about transitioning to more communal ways of organising society.
