These two hefty videos from Red Pen lay out Federici’s analysis updated with modern scholarship since Caliban’s publication to demonstrate this process in an extremely coherent way. It’s a masterpiece of historical dialectics education on Red Pen’s part and a phenomenal way to understand the deep historical roots of capitalism and the horrifying brutality of how women were violently domesticated as perhaps the most foundational piece of capitalism’s birth.
It’s been a while since reading Caliban and the Witch, but I recently bought a copy for a friend to read. So it’d be good to do a refresher if they end up wanting to talk about it in depth. I’ll have to give these a watch, thanks!
