Author: J. D. Unwin Publication Date: 1934 Pages: 676 Country: United Kingdom/UK "Sex and Culture is a 1934 book by English social anthropologist J. D. Unwin concerning the correlation between a society's level of "cultural achievement" and its level of sexual restraint. The book concluded with the theory that as societies develop, they become more sexually liberal, accelerating the social entropy of the society, thereby diminishing its "creative" and "expansive" energy.[1][2] According to Unwin, after a nation becomes prosperous, it becomes increasingly liberal concerning sexual morality. It thus loses its cohesion, impetus and purpose, which he claims is irrevocable.[3] Unwin also stated that absolute monogamy required legal equality between men and women.[4]". "The book concludes with the assertion that, in order to maintain a rationalistic society, sexual drive should be controlled and shifted to more productive work. Unwin notes that women should enjoy the same legal rights as men and that the condition for a high level of cultural achievement lies in restricting prenuptial sexual opportunity rather than a state of patriarchy, although the two have historically coincided. The books states that the effect of sexual constraints, either pre or post-nuptial, has always led to increased flourishing of a culture. Conversely, increased sexual freedom always led to the collapse of a culture three generations later. The highest flourishing of culture had the most powerful combination: pre-nuptial chastity coupled with “absolute monogamy”. Rationalist cultures that retained this combination for at least three generations exceeded all other cultures in every area, including literature, art, science, furniture, architecture, engineering, and agriculture. Only three out of the eighty-six cultures studied ever attained this level." #books #sexuality #research #communism #anthropology #chastity #leftism #patriarchy #sociology

The global race for a Covid-19 vaccine appears to be in its final leg. The research was publicly funded. But Big Pharma stands to make enormous profits, at the expense of people the world over. #leftism #anti-capitalism

"Megacorp: An investigative expose about Amazon and Jeff Bezos. Behind The Bastards: A show about the lives of history's bastards. Covers many CEO's, politicians, lobbyists, and stories of capitalist exploitation. It Could Happen Here: A daily podcast following revolutionary groups, hosted by the same dude as Behind the Bastard so very friendly towards Antiwork. Best of the Left: Compilation of the best voices of the left in both media and academia about various progressive politics and activism." "It's Going Down, Rev Left Radio, Swampside Chats, Guerilla History, Popular Front, On Mass, The Magnificast, Economic Update with Richard Wolff" "Factually! With Adam Connover." "SRSLY Wrong: specifically recommended episode 245 Malatesta's Anarchist Programme with Zoe Baker. A discussion about/reading of the text and relevance towards current struggles. Its Going Down: Recommend Organization, Repression, Burnout, Action, A conversation with Crimethinc covering contemporary anarchist movements/organizing. Audible Anarchism: I tend to recommend Anarchy by Malatesta but there's a lot of interesting Anarchist literature on there." "I like Robert Evans but find him to be a mixed bag - like in It Could Happen Here he uses the French Revolution as a warning about a left wing revolution - which could be described as a right wing revolution - and leaves out the Paris Commune. It seems weird for a professed anarchist. Granted it's been a while since I listened to that one." #leftism #anti-work #toread

""Actually existing socialism" simply refers to countries in which socialism is the dominant mode of production. So for example the USSR, China, Yugoslavia, Cuba, DPRK, Albania, etc. were/are all examples of actually existing socialism, despite having obvious differences in how their economies and societies operated. It was contrasted with purely theoretical conceptions of how a socialist society would operate, e.g. Laurence Gronlund's The Cooperative Commonwealth, the latter portions of August Bebel's Woman and Socialism, and Karl Kautsky's On the Morrow of the Socialist Revolution. This doesn't mean that theorizing about socialism is a waste of time, just that it is nowadays possible to establish a relationship between theory and practice as to how socialism works. Modern theories benefit from the experiences of former and existing socialist countries." #communism #leftism
