Revolutions has been good this series. Ep 2 was a great recap of what a disgusting loser Marx was most of his life, and ep 3 is probably the best short introduction to Marxism I've ever heard. I'm impressed so far.

mila kunis posted:That's a pretty weird takeaway you got for ep 2. I thought it was pretty sympathetic to him for having to pack up and move so many times and having his career derailed because of the reactionary rule in Europe post 1848 It was mostly a joke and I agree with you

That's a pretty good recommendation for Aufhebungabunga, any podcast that will invite Bastani to talk about FALC is worth a listen

Kill All Normies isn't good, and anyone who reads it should go in knowing they'll be let down. You can take away whatever you like from the book because Nagle isn't a very rigorous thinker. She doesn't think very hard about solutions to the problems she lays out, and often formulates the problems poorly in the first place. The haters are partially right: she sucks at getting across her points in the text and comes off looking like a reactionary because of it. She did much better in advance interviews, ironically. It's obvious to me that she followed the fame after publication and ended up in some vaguely center-left bubble of too-online cranks and sadboys.

I would be forever grateful to Red Scare if they were able to make Current Affairs collapse due to this dumb beef. Still wouldn't listen, but you'd never hear me utter a bad word about them to anyone.

Hilario Baldness posted:I highly recommend The Michael Brooks Show. It's a somewhat offshoot of his work on the Majority Report, but it's become it's own thing now and is extremely good. He gets great guests on it, and it's genuine leftism. Hell yeah, Michael Brooks is good on the Majority Report, but he really shines when he doesn't have Sam Seder around to cut short his pointing out the limits of liberalism and advocating Marxist points of view. I especially recommend his show if you're interested in hearing what's going on in politics and social movements outside the United States, it seems like a lot of the newer American left media outlets have that as a blind spot and it's really bad.

Every time a Rev Left episode starts with a giant disclaimer, I strap in for a wild ride on the rollercoaster of credibility, and I've never been disappointed.

I enjoyed the history lesson in the first hour, the guests were right to point out it's often overlooked in accounts of the region. My big problem with this episode is that, in retrospect, the big controversial claim at the core of it, that democratic confederalism and women's rights are a smokescreen for a violent Kurdish nationalism, was never fully worked through or substantiated despite the two hour runtime. There were a bunch of secondary discussions that kept getting in the way. I don't care about the ignorant things posted online by nobodies about Christianity outside Europe. I'm open to hearing criticism of Rojava but drat put some effort in to present the case clearly. Rev Left has some great episodes in the back catalog, but the guy really has to be more selective when it comes to guests. I guess that's kind of at odds with presenting movements that are so marginal they don't get coverage elsewhere, but after the Stalin episode, I don't have patience for bad guests anymore.

I guess I should recommend something good instead of just being a hater. The episode of Swampside Chats on Mike Davis's "Old Gods, New Enigmas" (https://soundcloud.com/swampsidechats/100-old-gods-new-enigmas) got me to read the book for once, and both are worth your time if you're into looking at historical political struggles in a new light. The main chapter of the book explores the numerous class struggles in Europe from 1848-1921 as a continuously evolving movement of movements, and distills some lessons for future revolutionaries from them.

Centrist Committee posted:If I only had time to read 32 of Zizek’s books, which ones First as Tragedy, Then as Farce is accessible and short. I read it after his Peterson debate, and the political half is oddly more relevant today than when it was written a decade ago. The other half is a compilation of the provocative "inverted logic" stuff he's best known for. It addresses a number of social topics, and most notably has a full elaboration of the thinking on immigrants and trans people that get him in trouble.

Citations Needed could stand to be a lot more careful in their analysis of economic issues, especially since a strong Marxist argument is the best antidote to neoliberal ideology. Still one of the best podcasts going.

The new Symptomatic Redness is really good. Derick gets into why American Christianity is in a bad place right now, then takes the discussion into weird places like how Mormons are probably the most Christian religion right now, and why the DSA is totally irrelevant at the national level despite being closely associated with high-profile politicians.

If you want to be mad at the party for a good reason, you should look up how much it costs to live in a yuppie tower in Williamsburg along the East River, for four years, in an apartment big enough to have a 50 person after-party in. And then think about how the person at the center of it all -- who is proudly proclaiming themselves a thought leader of the new radical left -- could come by that much money.

Amber's written at least one easy-to-find article about sex, gender, and biology which might help people wrestling with the question of whether or not she's a TERF.
