Miguel talked to Sam of the Southpaw Podcast (@SouthpawPod) to discuss Combat sports and Marxism! Listen to the Southpaw Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts and visit their website for more information.

At the start of the episode, Miguel asked Sam about starting a podcast, and Miguel had Sam give us a Marxist analysis of MMA and combat sports. Miguel and Sam also discuss how the Southpaw Podcast grew into a podcast network, including podcasts not specifically about MMA or combat sports, such as Southpaws’ Deep Space Nine podcast.

Additionally, Miguel and Sam discuss the connection between right-wing ideology and MMA and the relationship between US Imperialism, Korea, and Taekwondo. Furthermore, Miguel had Sam discuss his article and brilliant analysis of the Netflix series Squid Game and American Imperialism titled “Squid Game and the Long Shadow of the American Empire” that he wrote for the Real News Network.

Instead of the usual Molotov MVP and Xicano/a sports History segments to end the show, Miguel includes his June 10, 2022 Redspin Sports Report appearance on Radio Sputniks By Any Means Necessary with Sean and Jacquie! Miguel talks to Sean and Jacquie about a new lawsuit filed against the FBI by Simone Biles and other gymnasts abused by Larry Nassar over its failure to act on its knowledge of accusations of abuse against Nassar in 2015 and more!
