Hello everybody and welcome back to RevLeft Radio. On today's episode I have on Will Cheney

to kind of do a deep dive into the theoretical and philosophical work of the Marxist known

as Althusair. Louis Althusair, the French Marxist intellectual. We've done an episode on Althusair

before with our good friend Melody over at a World to Win, which I'll link to in the show notes

here. And that was kind of an introduction to his famous work on ideology, specifically ideological

state apparatuses, the difference between repressive state apparatuses and ideological state apparatuses.

And that conversation was kind of an intro into a core concept of Althusair and thus an intro

into Althusair. And I love that conversation. I actually relistened to it in preparation for this one.

And I highly recommend it. So I will link to that in the show notes as well. You don't have to

listen to it before you listen to this, especially if you already have some familiarity with Althusair

and his work. But after this, if you want to learn more, you can go over there. You can listen to

that first and then come back to this. Either way, it's going to be two passes over Althusair

focusing on different elements of his work. And if you like what we do here at RevLeft Radio,

you can support us at patreon.com forward slash RevLeft Radio. We put out one bonus monthly episode,

but we're ratcheting that up. So I think in the new year, we're going to go from one to three or four

patreon exclusive episodes a month. I'll announce more of those details as we get closer to the

turnover of 2022 into 2023. But that's definitely sort of the plan that Dave and I are working on.

Because we want to give more to the people that do support us and hopefully bring in more supporters.

But if you like RevLeft, we also have two other sister podcasts. Most of you probably know about

them. Red Menace, where me and Allison focus on Marxist theory. We also do reactionary theory

and anarchist theory. In 2023, we're going to do a deep dive back into angles and his origin of the

private property and the family was going to be fascinating. And then over at Gorilla History,
