In this episode, we examine the myth that marxism is Eurocentric. Recently, Marxism has seen a resurgence of interest and criticisms across the political spectrum. We want to understand how most Marxists in the world are not white and not men yet some still view Marxism as Eurocentric. We are not interested in mounting a defense for a "dead white man" or converting you to be a cult follower of him. Our inquiry into whether Marxism is Eurocentric is not reducible to an intellectual question. Why did some of the most colonized nations throughout Asia, Africa and Latin America such as China, Vietnam (where they defeated both the French and the United States), Guinea Bissau and Cape Verde, Burkina Faso, Angola, Mozambique, Cuba and use some version of Marxism as a tool to help guide them towards freedom from their colonial masters if it's so Eurocentric? So for this episode, we explore the thought of Marxism beginning with Karl Marx and Friedrich Engel, we unpack the origins of the term Eurocentrism and look at Black/Afrikan contributions to the discipline that stretched and advanced Marxism to the applicability of oppressed and colonized people. 00:00:51 - Intro 00:03:10 - Initial reactions 00:09:49 - Monologue 00:14:02 - Kwame Toure 00:00:51 - Eurocentric claims 00:18:42 - What is Eurocentrism? 00:27:03 - Eurocentric claims 00:39:24 - Who was Karl Marx? 00:45:06 - 3 primary of components of Marx: Materialist Philosophy 01:19:34 - Critique of Political Economy  01:45:39 - Marxist politics 01:51:45 - Lenin, the Colonial Question, and African Contributions 02:01:04 - Last thoughts   Sources https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1QXoA8Tbw6GoYxC9qNWIMCcT6EtjKGOJ8
