Capital #13 - Machinery and Large-Scale Industry (Part 2 - ch. 15 continued)

More dialectics, more dualities. Machinery is wielded as a weapon
against the working class. Marx shows us how machinery was not the
great liberator it was made out to be. When capital gives with one
hand, it takes with the other. We're joined in this episode by
Nathan from Marx Madness Pod and new guest Erin to discuss the
displacement of workers, the gruesome working conditions that
existed in Marx's time, right up to the present day, women and
children joining the workforce, education, modern examples of how
machinery is used against us (and for capital) and one of the
heaviest and most depressing chapters so far in 'Capital'. Welcome
back as we continue and finish off the enormous 'Chapter 15 -
Machinery and Large-Scale Industry' from 'Capital - Volume I' by
Karl Marx.    If you're looking to brush up on your
understanding of dialectics in preparation for this chapter,
feel free to check out our previous episode  on 'Dialectical
and Historical Materialism' by Stalin.    Follow us on
