HAPPY NEW YEAR *PREVIOUSLY PATRON-ONLY CONTENT* I had a conversation with my friend Aamer of Das Criminal Podcast (https://directory.libsyn.com/shows/view/id/dascriminal). We discussed the good art vs good politics, video games as propaganda, and whether art can be a substitution for political theory (no). I recorded and edited said discussion for you to enjoy!

And here are some links: A nice little article about marxist approaches to art criticism and analysis: https://www.culturematters.org.uk/index.php/culture/theory/item/2626-what-do-marxists-have-to-say-about-art John Berger's Ways of Seeing BBC series about historicizing art criticism: Episode 1 (all 4 episodes available on youtube) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pDE4VX_9Kk&ab_channel=tw19751

(cover art on this podcast episode is John Berger)
