The May 13 Group PODCAST

The May 13 Group

The May 13 Group is an emerging ecosystem oriented toward—and energized by—epistemic healing and wholeness in, through, and around evaluation. Join hosts Carolina De La Rosa Mateo and Vidhya Shanker as they dive into ideas and stories that deepen our understanding of how structurally-focused collective action, including direct action organizing, can challenge capitalist relations of knowledge production and colonial ways of knowing, reclaim the means and ends of knowledge production, and build the foundation for a solidarity economy.

    What is an Economy?

    In this episode, Carolina and Vidhya engage in dialogue with ⁠Justin Laing⁠ of ⁠Hillombo Consulting⁠ to understand the idea of an economy, which is foundational to building a solidarity economy. We delve into the way knowledge—or perhaps narrative—is produced within racial and gendered capitalism and the role evaluation plays for the owning and ruling class. We close with an invitation to imagine what knowledge work could look like, and what individual roles we each may play, in alternative economic structures. Justin can be found at ⁠www.hillombo.net⁠,⁠⁠⁠ on Instagram ⁠@hillombo⁠, and using his name on ⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. ⁠Episode 1.8 TRANSCRIPT⁠⁠ Notes ⁠here⁠ References (more ⁠⁠here⁠) ⁠Nego Gato⁠; ⁠Olorisha⁠; ⁠Lukumi⁠⁠Mni Sota Makoce⁠⁠Ojibwe Chippewa Tribe⁠⁠American Indian Movement⁠⁠Shawnee Tribe⁠Critical Pedagogy⁠⁠It's the Economy, Stupid⁠⁠Supply & Demand⁠⁠Centrally Planned Economy⁠⁠Elinor Ostrom⁠⁠All Economies are Ultimately Human Economies⁠⁠Political Economy of Economic Policy⁠⁠Economy Studies⁠⁠Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism⁠⁠Eurocentricity⁠⁠National Struggle⁠⁠Feminist Economics Critique to Neo-Classical Economics⁠⁠Collaborate to Co-Liberate⁠⁠Gopal Dayaneni⁠⁠There is No Alternative⁠⁠Clip from “Surviving Progress”⁠⁠Nonprofit Industrial Complex 101⁠⁠Practice & Prospects of Socialism in China⁠⁠Strategic Revolutionary Thought & Legacy of Hugo Chávez⁠⁠Assessing the Cuban Experience⁠⁠What is Racial Capitalism & Why Does It Matter?⁠⁠Origins of the Professional-Managerial Class⁠⁠Cedric Robinson, Racial Capitalism & the Return of Black Radicalism⁠⁠South African Tradition of Racial Capitalism⁠⁠What is the Working Class?⁠⁠Capitalism⁠⁠Why Do We Say that Hegel is an “Idealist”?⁠⁠Idealism or Materialism⁠⁠Democracy & Evaluation⁠⁠John Rawls⁠⁠What is the Capitalist Class?⁠⁠Marxist Theory of the State⁠⁠How America Became Capitalist⁠⁠Origin of Cost–Benefit Analysis⁠⁠Social Darwinism, Race & Research⁠⁠Gramsci & Hegemony⁠⁠Twilight of Neoliberalism⁠⁠Charter Schools, Market Capitalism & Obama’s Neo-liberal Agenda⁠⁠How Free Market Logic Fails in Schooling⁠⁠Market Liberalism Meets Ideological Conservatism⁠⁠Surplus⁠⁠Theory of Change⁠⁠e·val·u·ate⁠⁠What Base & Superstructure Mean in Marxism⁠⁠Marx’s Theory of Class Struggle⁠⁠What Is Liberalism?⁠⁠Important Insights into the Problems of National Liberation & Imperialism⁠⁠Working Poor⁠⁠History of the Tax-exempt Sector⁠⁠On Contradiction⁠⁠Historical Materialism⁠⁠Dialectics, Historical Materialism & Class Struggle⁠⁠Domenico Losurdo⁠⁠Marxism vs Intersectionality⁠⁠Scary S Word⁠⁠State & Revolution⁠⁠Defining Socialism⁠⁠What Do We Mean by Solidarity Economy?⁠⁠Socialism & the Legacy of the Soviet Union⁠⁠Gabriel Rockhill⁠⁠Manifesto of the Communist Party⁠⁠Understanding Left Wing Politics & Capitalism⁠⁠We Didn’t Cross the Border⁠⁠Catherine Liu⁠a href="https://www.creativeprocess.info/education/audrea-lim-mia-funk
