#30: The Politics of the Family, w M.E. O’Brien

The Politics of the Family, w M.E. O'Brien Families are political -- part of how most people survive under capitalism, places of love and support as well as often violence, other forms of oppression, and suffering. ME O'Brien's new book "Family Abolition: Capitalism and the Communizing of Care" is an important radical analysis of families in capitalist society and communist politics of the family from the mid-1800s to today. David thinks it's one of the best books of marxist theory he's read in a while, and this episode is an interview with ME O'Brien about the politics of families and care.
