Great little video, thank you for sharing!
I randomly encountered this painting at the Brandts Museum in Odense, Denmark, last year. I had no prior knowledge of it. The experience was incredibly powerful—it seemed to vibrate with energy. As mentioned in the video, it's very big. Quite impressive.
stunning 😍 i love it.
I never heard of Eric Ravilious before. great discovery.
Yes, Polanyi was not a Marxist, and literally nobody would say he was. He had distanced himself from Marxism at a personal level after an initial flirtation with it in his youth. Polanyi turned away from Marxism in the years leading up to the First World War.
Certainly, he was somewhat of a socialist, though his theory differed significantly from Marxism. His theory revolved around conflict, similar to Marx's theory; however, the terms, dynamics, and mechanisms were all distinct. Upon rereading "The Great Transformation," it becomes clear that the second Karl (Polanyi) had deviated considerably from the first Karl's (Marx) fundamental insights on various critical points: the emergence of capitalism, the origins of the Industrial Revolution, the dialectics of commodification, the exploitation of labor, concepts of value and money, class power, and class struggle.
Some Marxist authors were indeed inspired by Polanyi, as with the already mentioned Burawoy, Nancy Fraser, etc. However, that doesn't retroactively make Polanyi a Marxist. Aside from that, Polanyi was very religious; he converted to Protestantism and remained a Christian for the rest of his life. He leaned much more towards being "communitarian" than "communist".
edit: https://sandbroo.faculty.politics.utoronto.ca/why-polanyi-and-not-marx/ here's a text with a better explanation.
well, I will stop to use YouTube, and that will solve 2 problems
Bordiga was a pure genius, but it's quite a difficult read because of his idiosyncratic writing.
Among the non Marxists, I like Polanyi a lot.
why not vivaldi?
The article also argues for the same point, I believe. However, it posits that the right-wing and populist movements in Europe are employing the language and political tools of Christian Democracy to rationalize their actions. The process of European integration has also contributed to these dynamics. Nonetheless, you are correct; the fundamental reasons lie elsewhere.
l’éducation nationale a vraiment fait un bon travail avec toi, tu répètes bien les choses. Bravo. Mais ta conception de la république est naïve (si on est gentils) ou plutôt stupide..
Les racines intellectuelles et politiques de la démocratie chrétienne se retrouvent principalement en France, avec des philosophes tels que Jacques Maritain, le père de la démocratie chrétienne européenne.
Et le peuple, OUI, le bon peuple français, qui est "loin" d'être représenté par le "gouvernement actuel"... je me souviens des manifestations pour tous sous ma fenêtre. et je me souviens de Marine Le Pen, arrivée en deuxième position au second tour des élections... avec sa France chrétienne.
Tout cela pour dire : on ne peut pas ignorer la religion en France. vraiment pas. et nous ne sommes pas SI différents d'autres pays, comme Piketty l'a bien expliqué.
si l'opinion et les arguments de Thomas Piketty ne t'intéressent pas, je comprends. mais tu ne peux pas nier que le rôle de la religion est extrêmement important dans le débat politique ici, et ce, depuis toujours. on aime bien se la raconter, mais la France n'est pas plus laïque que d'autres pays... on pourrait dire que c'est laïcard, ça oui, mais pas laïque.
So many!
