Socialism, Spirituality and the Forgotten Occult Roots of the Left with Graham Jones
Description
Can a genuinely liberatory politics survive without mystery, imagination, or the spiritual experiences that give life its depth? Sereptie speaks with Graham Jones about Jacobin’s article “The Forgotten History of Socialism and the Occult” and why its knee-jerk rationalism gets the history wrong. We explore the intersections of Marxism, mysticism, occult traditions, utopian thought, and the warm stream of revolutionary desire. The discussion moves through materialist spirituality, political subjectivity, Boycott Watkins, and how radical movements can reclaim the ecstatic and the ineffable.
