Previous Episode: Episode 2: Reaction

Next Episode: Episode 4: Moral Panics - Sex Drugs and Communism

In this episode, I cover some recent news including the recent arrests of several Boogaloo Boys, discuss Marx's concepts of Base and Superstructure, and delve into Gramsci's analysis of Political and Civil Societies, War of Position and Maneuver, and finally the concept of the Overton Window.

This episode went longer than expected, so I've split it into two halves, with Episode 4 applying what we discuss here on some important contemporary events. Look forward to it coming next week!
