"Love is a power, and for that reason we cannot sequester it from all politics or keep it trapped in theological and mystical privacy. Love is not a neutral power that agrees with everything. But love lives precariously in a world that vacillates between not knowing what it is and subjecting it to the values of capital." This week, Matt and Dean talk with Richard Gilman-Opalsky about his new book The Communism of Love An Inquiry into the Poverty of Exchange Value (https://www.akpress.org/communismoflove.html.)

Last week on the show, we talked a lot about class and why we need to know about it. This week, we're talking about the shortcomings of ONLY talking about class. We're bringing you an episode full of ideas to complicate vulgar marxism and class reduction. If you want to know how capitalism works you also need some way of understanding intersection modes of oppression.

Dean and Matt were formed in the crucible of the evangelical counterculture of the Bush years and this has broken their brains significantly. In this episode, they talk through some of the radical Christian takes on voting from Christian anarchism and then see where those takes are at in 2020.

Over the past few weeks, we've been talking a lot about liberation theology and Latin America. So, this week, we decided to keep that theme rolling by talking to our friend Héctor Acero Ferrer about liberation theology, his experience growing up in Colombia, and the ongoing Minga Indígena movement in Colombia.

As you might remember, late in 2019 there was a monumentally terrible coup against Bolivia's extremely good president Evo Morales. Despite the coup conspirator's best efforts, elections were held and the Bolivian people re-instated MAS through the election of Luis Arceo. To help us learn more about the situation, we've got Jim Hodgson the official Magnificast Latin America correspondent back on to tell us what's going on in Bolivia in light of these recent elections.
