#86 - Close Reading: "Principles of Communism" (Part 1)

"The best goddamn communist podcast, period."
—Tom O'Brien, From Alpha to Omega

This is Swampside Chats. The podcast where communists shoot the shit about current events, history, political economy, and theory.

"You are free not only to invite us, but to go yourselves wherever you will, even into the Swamp. In fact, we think that the Swamp is your proper place, and we are prepared to render you every assistance to get there. Only let go of our hands, don’t clutch at us and don’t besmirch the grand word freedom, for we too are 'free' to go where we please, free to fight not only against the Swamp, but also against those who are turning towards the Swamp!"
