Hello everybody and welcome back to Rev Left Radio. On today's episode, we have back on the one

and only J. Malfaward Paul, aka J.M.P. to talk about his newest book, Politics in Command,

a taxonomy of Economism. Really, really essential reading, a really clarifying reading for anybody, regardless of tendency, on the socialist and communist left.

Really great, important exploration of a vital and widespread, a sort of error, if you will. And we get into what

economism is, the various forms it can take, what the political solution to it is, what

it says about class, what it says about the labor aristocracy, cover a lot of really

important concepts. And as only JMP can do, sort of clarifies them in really accessible ways without sacrificing whatsoever the rigor and profundity of the points that he is making.

So this is another interview with J. Malfaward Paul on his newest work, politics and command of taxonomy of economism.

Also would love to give a shout out to a podcast, which is pretty new of the same name, Politics and Command.

Our friend Marxist, our friend Paul from the channel Marxist Paul was recently. We showed one of his projects on Chee recently, and he plugged them. And I listened to their interview as

part of my prep for this conversation. And I made sure not to retread those same questions that

they asked. So if you like this interview, you can definitely go check out Politics and Command,

listen to their interview with JMP on the same book. They cover, you know, different stuff as well, so you'd get even a more robust understanding

of the text.

And of course, there's no replacement for buying the text itself.

And as always, if you like what we do here, you can go to patreon.com forward slash rev left

radio and support us directly, financially, in exchange currently for a bonus episode every month in early releases,

but importantly, and I'll make a special announcement and put it out on the public feed

sometime later this month, but we're making changes to the Patreon in the direction of more

Patreon episodes and more consistent weekly Patreon episodes.

So an extra, I mean, a tripling or a quadrupling of our monthly Patreon output on a consistent day.

We're thinking Wednesdays, for example.
