Hello everybody and welcome back to RevLeft Radio.

So on today's episode we're going to do another version of the show, kind of like what we

did with our Comrad Paul Connelly over at Marxist Paul on YouTube's recent video on Che,

which is he put out a video on Che Guevara.

We took the audio, put it on our podcast to promote it.

Now we're doing that same thing with a video from the Comrad's over at Prolicult.

I think it's Prolicult, I guess it could be Prolicult, but a P-R-O-L-E-K-U-L-T.

They are a Marxist film, writing and culture platform based out of England.

And they do really interesting work.

And I was surfing YouTube and I came across their newest video on bass and superstructure.

And I thought it was a really interesting intervention in which this common sort of concept

that most Marxists know about is often over-simplified even in our own minds.

And so they did this wonderful video kind of complicating the concepts of bass and superstructure

and creating new doorways for a more robust debate on what exactly it means and importantly

what the connection between bass and superstructure actually is, how it actually functions, what

the superstructure and the direct relationship to the bass should be confined to, or what

it should be expanded to include.

These are interesting conversations that I think sometimes we don't always get into

the nuances of because the simplified version is so easy and so ready to deploy in a very

basic way that sometimes the deeper analysis and wrestling with those concepts doesn't

actually happen.

So I thought this was very interesting.
