Fourth Reich Political Theology with Marcus//Return of the Repressed (Patreon)

We are coming in hot this week with a very special episode and a very special guest.  We are calling this one Fourth Reich Political Theology, and we are honored to have Marcus from the Return of the Repressed podcast joining Don to do some serious digging.  

In this episode, Don and Marcus examine how “The Market” and people’s fealty to its bizarre logic has come into actual existence, almost alchemically, or religiously.  To put it bluntly, The Market today fills the role of God in our society. It is beyond human control, beyond reproach, and exercises an omniscient, omnipotent power over human affairs. To capitalists, The Market’s pure rationality also bestows it with benevolence. Don and Marcus explore the historical and theoretical bases for the development of this phenomenon, by examining the transition from feudalism to capitalism and the adaptation of religion to the economic mode of production and vice versa.
