Marx's Materialist Fetish
Update: 2025-12-07
Description
Karl Marx wrote how the bourgoisie feishized commodities—but what if he was blind to his own deeper fetish? In this episode, I argue that Marx only went halfway: he scorned capitalist markets while remaining utterly entranced by the altar of production itself. His enchantment was of the archaic or violent-sacred kind, and so it lead to archaic mobilization, persecution, and aesthetics.
