#8 Marxism and Power

The Panopticon

What if the key to understanding our world today lies in the revolutionary ideas of Karl Marx? Join us as we explore the impact of Hegelian philosophy, property rights, and Marxism on our society. We'll start by examining Napoleon's quote about power being his mistress and its connection to Hegel's views on history and the dialectic process.
As we trace Marx's journey from his middle-class upbringing to his time in poverty, we'll delve into his groundbreaking theories on religion, property, and the power dynamics between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. With discussions on the origins and co-opting of ideologies like liberalism and communism, we'll show how these branches from the same tree differ only in their arguments regarding private property and individual rights versus state rights.
Lastly, we'll take a closer look at the lasting impact and legacy of Marx, as well as the continual evolution of his theories. From power struggles within communist governments to the influence of Marxism on disciplines like political science, literary criticism, and art criticism, we'll reflect on the importance of understanding and engaging with these complex and influential ideas, and the role they play in shaping our world.
