Welcome to Culture And Barbarism with Toby Miller and Dennis Broe. Toby is a Cultural Studies and Global Media Raconteur and Dennis is a novelist, author, journalist and broadcaster. The podcast is about the culture of politics and the politics of culture. Rosa Luxemburg famously described the choice as between Socialism or Barbarism but perhaps today what we have is Culture And Barbarism.
In our pilot episode we recount Steven Knight's mapping of the cruelty of 19th and 20th century British capitalism, Trump's unfair characterization of Mexico's people's government as a narco state as well as where the guns are coming from that fuel the violence in that country and, finally, LA as a neoliberal government whose cruelty was exposed in the fires as well as its past and future dislocation dynamics around the Dodgers and Chavez Ravine and the 2028 Olympics.
