Description
In our fourth episode we talk about security, digging into Mark Neocleous' argument, following Marx, that security rather than liberty is 'the supreme concept of bourgeois society'. But we also ask the thorny question of how the left can speak to everyone's desire to feel safe while critically highlighting the racialized violence and ruling-class utility of existing security regimes. It's, uh, more fun than that probably sounds.patreon.com/leftofphilosophy | @leftofphilReferences:Mark Neocleous, Critique of Security (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2008)Mark Neocleous & George Rigakos (eds.), Anti-Security (Ottawa: Red Quill Books, 2011)Anonymous, A World Without Police (2016), at aworldwithoutpolice.orgMusic: Vintage Memories by Schematist | schematist.bandcamp.com
