In this video I breakdown Aethiopes and place it in a historical context by connecting the Dutch Embarrassment of Riches to the current post capitalist American landscape.

This is probably the best analysis of woods I've seen on KZfaq (even tho I think the "tech companies are post capitalist neo feudalism" thesis is badly flawed)

Thank you, I agree that part of the video is poorly done

@@acorpuscallosum6947 you're welcome you've earned a subscriber. Tbh I don't think it's a problem with your video I just think think the "neo feudalism" thesis (from varoufokis, McKenzie wark and others) is wrong about us moving beyond capitalism at this time, even if some of the insights about tech exploitation are on point

@@dickdingus775 I think Yanis puts a strange emphasis on how we have 'left capitalism' as well, because in order for that to be true fordism would have to be thought of as genuine, liberal capitalism, which i don't think has ever existed. But besides the philosophical framing of his argument, his analysis of our contempereinety is priceless. I'm thinking about doing a full vid on it soon

Great video, don't understand why you described the work as eschatological, but would be super excited to hear you analyse more.

Wow this is really good. Wise beyond your years, great analysis. You will see success in no time just keep at it. Definitely earned yourself a sub. May I ask how you are so knowledgeable and wise? Perhaps schooling or a specific degree you excelled in, or perhaps u just take interest in social issues and political history as a hobby. Great video tho!

Outstanding analysis! I caught myself peering at your bookshelf and wish I could make out all the books but couldn't because of the focus. You should do book reviews!

@@acorpuscallosum6947 I see some Hegel and Nietzsche. I haven't read any of their works but they get referenced a ton in other books I've read. I'd be interested in anything you decided to review. I'm currently reading 'Blood In My Eye' by George Jackson.

Really like this video. Wasn’t sure where you were going with the techno-feudalism thing but I think I got your point eventually. Such an interesting and multi-layered album, this is a take on it I haven’t really thought about before. Definitely subbed.

Does anyone know what the ending of his song “asylum” is from ? “You see how well they treat me? My own courtyard for private strolls. And in my chalet, every possible amenity, not to mention the occasional night visitors I must confess kabiyesi, this detention seems to look well on you But, so does captivity look well on a lamb we are fattening up for the feast. Or, perhaps as you say, on a wife we treat with special favor because she is going to bear us a child. What happens when the great day comes and there is only a calabash under the wrapper”

These dialogues sprinkled throughout the entire album are from the 1970 Nigerian movie "Kongi’s Harvest" by Soyinka. I believe this quote in particular is Kongi, a spiritual & power hungry (self-appointed) dictator, speaking somewhat friendly and candidly with Danlola, the now deposed traditional king.
