unironically thanks for this thread. i was needing new podcasts because the only 3 I had on my list were cumtown, chapo, and 99% invisible. I picked up Citations Needed and Economic Update by Dick Wolves from some recs in TRUMP when i asked a few weeks back and they're good. trillbilly, age of napolean, and war nerd and stuff sounds good so ive added that to Pocketcasts

speaking of pocketcasts, what was with that awful update which hosed up the UI. does anyone know a good alternative

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.

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

Thread where you can talk about every millenial comedy politics podcast except the best one

if you're referring to chapo, you can :confused:

I listened to the Alan moore ep. Remember that Adam Curtis interview where he talked about western leftists retreating to fiction and fantasy and a world view that divorced itself from materialism. this was kind of that thing made flesh lol.

"Lenin, like Robespierre, did nothing wrong"
-Michael Duncan

he was actually somewhat sympathetic to robespierre in the french revolution series. pointing out that he was the only one against the insane war against the entirety of europe everyone else wanted to start, the extremity of the conditions he found himself in, and that he only seemed to go off the deep end after he was struck by an illness

i dont know anything about angela nagle, it could be that she personally is lovely and right wing or whatever, but it is correct that dismissing an entire section of the population as irredeemable deplorables ala Hillary Clinton is a losing, dumb strategy.

this is one of the most striking anecdotes from 2008: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/on-road-western-pennsylvania/

quote:

So a canvasser goes to a woman’s door in Washington, Pennsylvania. Knocks. Woman answers. Knocker asks who she’s planning to vote for. She isn’t sure, has to ask her husband who she’s voting for. Husband is off in another room watching some game. Canvasser hears him yell back, “We’re votin’ for the n***er!”

Woman turns back to canvasser, and says brightly and matter of factly: “We’re voting for the n***er.”

even a racist pieces of poo poo care enough about their material conditions to bring themselves to vote for a black man to the highest position in the country, because (at the time) candidate Obama represented a chance for genuine structural reform and economic relief. then it turned out to be another in the long chain of neoliberal administrations and pennsylvania went to trump.

you don't need to run on a racist platform, you don't need to appeal to racism, but if material conditions are dire enough if you run on a genuine and credible left wing platform that will deliver relief to these people, you'll get votes out of sheer economic necessity.

the reason democrats don't get these votes is because they're lying and clearly obviously not going to reform the system (barring maybe Sanders) and deliver this, and most voters have figured it out and stay home/vote for the cultural red meat.

the latest radio war nerd was on climate change and the wars, migrations and dislocation caused by em (not just across borders, but the massive problems caused by drought and landlordism/loan sharking causing people to flee to cities from the countryside in india and brazil for eg)

the ep itself is behind a paywall i think but the interviewee was really good and this is the book he wrote on the subject, probably worth checking out

I dont mind it, for one thing it was kind of interesting hearing bakunin berating marx for electoralism and how they incorporated each others ideas.

i guess i just dont understand anarchism. throwing away the state and 'authoritarianism' without a few generations of dismantling current social relations is just going to lead to a power vaccum thats filled with private interests like oligarchs, warlords and militias. organized beats disorganized everytime and the state is the embodiment of organized power used against your enemies, because if you dont they absolutely will do the same to you

The latest Unauthorized Disclosure had the guest argue that Obama's mom was at least a CIA asset in Indonesia. Her work was funded USAID and other US soft power institutions. The interviewer acknowledged that right wingers have been the main proponents of this idea, but says the left should pay more attention to it.

Since I've got Epstein brain I of course 100% believe it.

he was right that joe biden could beat trump by 5 million votes and still lose the electoral college

however at some point there’s only so much you can do to gerrymander and generally suppress the vote

the more problematic aspect of the demographics is destiny thing, though, is the idea that overwhelming democratic majorities, even if it were 3-4 presidential terms, would fix everything instead of making it obvious how center-right the democratic party really is

the layers of defense the oligarchs have is amazing. voter suppression -> gerrymandering -> electoral college -> senate representation -> cartel like control of political party leadership -> judicial lockdown
