A Labor of Love

Today’s Remnant combines features of both a weekend Ruminant and a “supplemental” episode, like the program’s recent incursion into social Darwinism. Jonah begins with further ruminations from his Wednesday “news”letter, replete with the observations that certain opponents of Israel veer into weirdly anti-Semitic territory when given the opportunity. Speaking of anti-Semites: Marx! After the rumination, Jonah reads from a great Commentary piece on the anti-capitalist tendencies of medieval antisemitism, and how such sentiments then transition into a more modern communistic ideology that nonetheless retained the suspicion of Jews, usury, and labor economics.   Show notes: -      The Wednesday “news”letter on antisemitism -      Hamas’ Iron Dome: “Don’t Fire Rockets at Israel” -      Baseball, fatherhood, and racial disparity -      AOC seeks to block arms sales to Israel -      “If only the Czar knew!” -      Jonah in Commentary on Marx, Jews, and capital -      Jerry Muller’s response to Jonah -      Martin Luther’s “yikes”-inducing treatise -      Game of Thrones and the labor theory of value -      The “Middleman minority” -      Marx’s vampire -      “The Political Economy of the Dead” by Mark Neocleous -      Again, “frazzledrip.” *sigh* -      Jerry Muller’s The Mind and the Market See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
