Meta Monthly Discord Book Club

6 Upvotes

For the last year I've held a monthly call on the Breadtube/Chomsky Discord server to talk about authors with anarchist, anti-war, and left-leaning perspectives.

We have a few regulars with a wide international spread and have had some good conversations, so I want to open up the group to a wider audience. Now is a good time as we're currently reading Michael Albert's No Bosses (2021) and we're fortunate enough to have the author himself on the server for questions.

The next event is scheduled for Monday 2nd March 2026 at 8:00pm Central European Time. Discord will automatically adjust to your device's timezone, but you can also figure out how that aligns with your location using a tool like WorldTimeBuddy.

Usually these events are voice only, but one or two sessions have been on webcam for those who are comfortable. The server also has a text-only discussion that's open all the time in the #book-club-general channel. All are welcome.

Discussion From Chomsky's longtime assistant, Bev Stohl

"This statement will be seen by some merely as an act of loyalty. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have grappled, struggled deeply, over this situation, while seeking to remain faithful to the truth. It is in the service of truth – the very thing Noam Chomsky wanted us to hold in high esteem, rather than himself – that I write this . . ."

Discussion Help me understand Chomsky's job perspective

0 Upvotes

Chomsky has said that having a job, which virtually everybody does, including college-educated people, is akin to wage slavery.

Which is fine, I'll acccept that analysis.

But at least I got a job. I got money coming in. I got something to do. As a man at least, losing my job and becoming employed again was the difference between having crippling depression and having no depression. Because my entire social and romantic value as a man hinges on me being useful or/and being competent. Without a job in the long run, you're out of the evolutionary contest. And you have no money coming in. Can't pay the bills. Which means your well-being goes down.

As somebody who's experienced both sides, having a job is much better than not having a job..

And what is the alternative anyway ? Is there any realistic one ?
