Ending Capitalism To Save The World w/ Kim Stanley Robinson

Ending Capitalism To Save The World w/ Kim Stanley Robinson

Author: Jamie Peck and Sam Beard February 18, 2025 Duration: 1:14:25

Sci-fi Legend Kim Stanley Robinson joins Jamie Peck and Sam Beard to discuss the end of capitalism, why being a leftist gives him hope, what he thinks of Bill Gates and Obama’s takes on Ministry For the Future, and communism. Much is gathered and realized through the readings and this conversation. For example, did reading Ministry for the Future turn Sam into a Statist? Is KSR working on a new book? Can we defeat the death cult fury of the billionaire class? What is the role of utopian fiction in revolution? How did Fredric Jameson’s feedback affect Ministry For the Future??

Get Kim Stanley Robinson’s takes on Luigi Mangione, Bitcoin, sabotaging fossil fuel infrastructure, what we would add to Ministry For the Future today, and all the plane crashes everywhere.... BEHIND THE PAYWALL: https://patreon.com/partygirls

Hosted by Jamie Peck and Sam Beard, Party Girls is a conversation that blends sharp political analysis with the intimate, connective tissue of gossip. Jamie, known for her work on The Majority Report and other leftist commentary, teams up with Sam, a Chicago-based organizer, to create a space where theory meets the messy reality of daily life. The discussions here aren't dry lectures; they're lively, often funny, and deeply human, weaving together perspectives from news, music, and culture through a specific lens. You'll hear them dissect current events and political structures with the same earnest curiosity they apply to sharing stories and personal reflections. This podcast operates on the idea that the personal is political and the political can be surprisingly personal, finding the threads of collective struggle and joy in unexpected places. It’s a mix of thoughtful critique and casual, comedic rapport that makes complex ideas feel accessible and urgent. Tune in for a unique fusion of perspectives that challenges how we think about community, power, and the stories we tell each other.
