WHAT IS POLITICS? Episode 8:
WHAT IS POLITICS? Episode 8: Social Change, Consciousness and Material Conditions
Human beings have free will, but our actions are constrained by material realities. Understanding how material and practical conditions shape human behaviour and consciousness can make all the difference between success and catastrophic failure when it comes to the whole spectrum of political action, from private sector negotiation, to crafting legislation, to making a revolution.
In this episode we look at:
0:00 How a materialist understanding of human behaviour is key for people who want political change
3:42 How we can synthesize the seemingly contradictory ideas that people have free will with the idea that social structures are the result of material conditions, by looking at the relationship between economic activity and the high status of women in traditional Haudenosaunee / Iroquois society
14:14 How World War I helped women win the right to vote in Europe and North America
22:31 How World War II catalyzed the Black civil rights movement in the United States (the Double V Campaign)
25:56 How the English Peasant’s Revolt of 1381 almost succeeded in overthrowing feudalism in England, and establishing a Christian libertarian socialist society, and why it failed.
36:24 The implications of the Anarchist Revolution in Spain in 1936-1939 for the future of industrial civilization.
49:16 Summary / next time
