Communism Unpacked: A Deep Dive with Andrew McWhinney

Everybody knows, like the line, that communism is the abolition of private property and like that freaks people out sometimes because that just means like they think that their stuff's getting taken away. But I think I can leave the definition of communism there.
What happens when you mix communism, cybernetics, and ethics? In this episode of 'Peace Now', Brian Nuckols sits down with Andrew McWhinney to explore just that. Growing up in a working-class family, McWhinney's experiences shaped his views on Marxism and communism, leading him to believe these ideologies offer more insightful ways to understand societal change compared to capitalism. The conversation is a rollercoaster of ideas, touching on everything from the vanguard function and dialectics to the philosophical musings of Hegel.
McWhinney also delves into the role of ethics and normativity within communism, providing a nuanced perspective on how these principles can drive meaningful change. If you've ever been curious about alternative ideologies or want to understand the mechanics behind them, this episode is a must-listen. Brian and Andrew's engaging discussion will leave you with a richer understanding of communism and its potential impact on society.
