All That is Sacred is Profaned
What exactly is capitalism? How did it arise from the severance of people and land? What was Marx on about, and is Marxism still relevant? In this course, we’ll study the Marxist framework through a Pagan lens.
Designed and instructed by Rhyd Wildermuth, participants of All That Is Sacred Is Profaned will learn:
What Capitalism is, how it works, and how it came about through historical processes.
How Capitalism relates to slavery, colonization, and other forms of exploitation.
What is meant by class and class struggle, and why your boss needs you but you don’t need your boss.
How wages work, and why we are never paid what we’re “worth.”
Who Marx was, why his work still matters, and how Marxist materialism enhances Pagan thought.
How Race, Gender, Sexuality, and other oppression categories are understood through Marxism.
What the differences are between Autonomous Marxist thought and Totalitarian Communism.
This course is specifically designed for those with little background in Marxism or academic environments.
