“Any revolutionary movement that does not ask itself how does this campaign, this revolution create new human relations and breakdown the most fundamental intimate alienated relationships of everyday life? If those questions are not posed and worked out, then that task is just a waste of time.”
-Peter Hudis

All my studies keep coming full circle as the knowledge I gain is self propelled and often come to me as puzzle pieces...I started with the inquiry of the current perspectives and mentality of worth and value...and just had to validate and give hearing him speak on this from 7.15 on...thank you.

Great talk, and he's absolutely correct about the importance of Fanon's work and the crucial role of thinking about aspects other than class, and applying this work in thinking more carefully about identify politics, class and race and what the left should do at this historic moment. But it's very annoying and exasperating to see him falling back on the "horrors of communist China" and "Mao killed more people than Stalin" tropes, without even attempting to situate China in the context of the anti-colonial struggles happening at the time, or China's assistance to black Africa, or Mao's contributions to conceptualizing of and promoting the peasantry as a revolutionary force (a creative application of Marxist historical materialism tailored to the concrete conditions of a situation, and that has many parallels to Fanon), contrary to the "traditional" Marxist takes which saw the peasantry as not very important. In many ways, China made the furthest advance towards communism under Mao (yes, it all unraveled and these gains were reversed, but are there no positive lessons to take away from China's historical experience?). But apparently, none of this is worthy of mention. China's experience only serves by way of negative example to Peter.
