Happy Valentines Day/Ash Wednesday. Here's a classic ep to help us think about love.  "Love is a power, and for that reason we cannot sequester it from all politics or keep it trapped in theological and mystical privacy. Love is not a neutral power that agrees with everything. But love lives precariously in a world that vacillates between not knowing what it is and subjecting it to the values of capital." This week, Matt and Dean talk with Richard Gilman-Opalsky about his new book The Communism of LoveAn Inquiry into the Poverty of Exchange Value (https://www.akpress.org/communismoflove.html.)  Intro Music by Amaryah Armstrong Outro music by theillogicalspoon https://theillalogicalspoon.bandcamp.com/track/hoods-up-the-low-down-technified-blues*Support The Magnificast on Patreon* http://patreon.com/themagnificast *Get Magnificast Merch* https://www.redbubble.com/people/themagnificast/  Thanks to our monthly supporters Colin Gillis Hanna Justin Glenn Stina Soderling La synarquista CR Rowell-Jore jelly Matthew Ospina Lyn AD Jansen Katie Chepulis Terrence Holland Keenan Dolan Riley Jane De Las Casas Theo Jack Molly Grisham Laura caitlin Brittyn James Thomas Thomas Finley Matthew Joseph Marx TheAllTomato Sanjay Kumarendran steve morley Jessica C Matt Lori Petrie Mark Vinzani Michael Daniels Stacy’s Mom Craig Conrad Larson Kamran Mirza Jason Bartholomew Cooper Elizabeth Dale Ashton Adams Michael McGarry Davis Roberts Clarke Matthew Klippenstein Kevin Ethan Milich Philip Nelson Ribs Michael Lee Rodolfo Urquieta Cortes James Thomas Mark De La Paz Lea Mae Rice ChrisJ Gill Erik Mohr Joe Kruse illi Robert Shine Kurt XxXJudasdidnothingwrongXxX Maxwell Lorena Rivera Soren Harward Christian Noakes David Wadstrup Óscar Austin Gallyer Harrison g Randall Katie Marascio Elias Jacob D Francisco Herrera Michael Dimitras Jacob S Leigh Elliot Tyler Adair Catherine Harrison Zachary Elicker Kasey Erin Archambeault Mikegrapes Kate Alexander Calderon Alejandro Kritzlof Caleb Strom Shandra Benito Andrew McIntosh Peter Shaw Kerrick Fanning Josh Johnson Jonathan Taylor Jennifer Kunze Damon Pitiroi Yroffeiriad Sandra Zadkovic Stephanie Heifner Patrick Sweeney Aaron Morrison girlboss.icarus Leslie Rodriguez Sarah Clark Timothy Trout Kinsey Favre Name Colm Moran Stewart Thomas Lonnie Smith Brendan Fong Kylie Riley Darren Young Josh Kerley koalatee Tim Luschen Elizabeth Davis Lee Ketch Austin Cyphersmith Ashton Sims Ryan Euverman Tristan Turner Linzi Stahlecker Matthew Alhonte John Samson Fellows alex zarecki rob Kathryn Bain Stephen Machuga zane Collin Majors Victor Williams Daniel Saunders Andrew Brian Nowak erol delos santos Aaron Forbis-Stokes Josh Strassman Cal Kielhold Luke Stocking Sara Trey Trevor Pullinger Brian S. drew k Matthew Darmour-Paul saheemax Adam Burke Zambedos Kevin Hernandez Wilden Dannenberg Evan Ernst Tucker Clyle Christopher RayAlexander Peter Adourian Dan Meyer Benjamin Pletcher John Mattessich Caleb Cropper-Russel Tristan Greeno Steve Schiroo Robert Clelland Anastasia S Scott Pfeiffer Terry Craghead Josiah Daniels yames Thaddaeus Groat Elisabeth Wienß Hoss Tripp Fuller Avery Dez V Zane Guevara Ivan Carter Ryan Plas Jonas Edberg Tom Tilden Jo Jonny Nickname Phil Lembo Matt Roney Stephen McMurtry Andrew Ness James Willard Noj Lucas Costello Dónal Emerson Robert Paquette Arty2000 Amaryah Shaye BreadandRosaries.com Frank Dina Mason Shrader Sabrina Luke Nye David Klassen Matthew Fisher Michael Vanacore Elinor Stephenson Max Bridges Joel Garver SibilantStar Devon Bowers Daniel David Erdman Madelei
