Interesting Conversations

If you want to know contemporary left thinking about social change, and how it takes into account the commons, then this is a quite extraordinary video.

It features three speakers:

1) Alex Callinicos, who in my view expounds the classic left view based on the primacy of struggle

2) Slavoy Zizek who really rocks here, despite his nervous ticks

3) John Holloway who expounds the interstititial approach of using the cracks in the dominant system to create new social relations, and how to increase confluence amongst them
