Nick Partyka on Capitalism’s Sacrifice Of Humanity

This podcast is a collaboration with Stefan Christoff of Free City Radio (https://freecityradio.org/) ======================== Capitalism’s sacrifice of humanity: An interview series produced for broadcast on Free City Radio by Stefan Christoff in consultation and collaboration with Max Haiven, for broadcast on Free City Radio. This program is the first in a series of 3 interviews that aim to examine contemporary capitalism as dependent on economic models that necessitate large levels of human sacrifice. These programs are supported by the ReImagining Value Action Lab (RiVAL) at Lakehead University in Ontario, Canada. A series of voices that speak to both the frontlines of struggles that are confronting the realities of colonial capitalism that speaks to the fact that humans are being rendered up for sacrifice to capitalism. Palestine is an example and also the prison industrial complex. On this edition we speak to activist scholar Nick Partyka who works with the Hampton Institute. In this conversation we review some of the main ideas that Nick articulated in an excellent article entitled "Capitalism as a Form of Human Sacrifice: The Comedy of Innocence and The Comedy of Guilt."
