YouTube Description
as posted by the channelGeorg Lukacs and Ernst Bloch debated the relative merits of Expressionism as against Socialist Realism in 1938 as Hitler was taking Czechoslovakia and Austria. Today we debate Dave Chappelle comedy specials and comic book movies as capitalism sets up multiple crises including right-wing populist movements, climate change disasters, and perpetual proxy wars. Should we move beyond cultural concerns or are we in desperate need of a new class consciousness?

Zero Books Manifesto:
The modern world is at an impasse. Disasters scroll across our smartphone screens and we’re invited to like, follow or upvote, but critical thinking is harder and harder to find. Rather than connecting us in common struggle and debate, the internet has sped up and deepened a long-standing process of alienation and atomization.
Zer0 Books wants to work against this trend.
