Please recommend some videos or audio.

I like to watch videos and listen to lectures and podcasts. It's a big hobby for me.

Please help me to not be bored, and recommend some anarchism/ socialism/communism videos or recordings to watch or listen to. Seriously anything.

This is part of the election reform movement, many were from DU. We still have a lot of problems, but the issue has fallen off the wayside. Take a look.

and I find it incomprehensible. Maybe I don't have the proper academic background to understand what the hell he is talking about. I half suspect it is gibberish.

I have seen some other speeches of his that did make sense to me. But not this. But thanks for the suggestion I do appreciate it.

I'm inclined to agree. Plus, I think Ziezek has a tendency to be controversial simply for the sake of publicity.

Great suggestion thank you for sharing this it's a very interesting and useful perspective. I actually agree with much of this but not all of it. It might just be a question of different emphasis. I'll definitely listen to more of his talks.
