Hi Y'all,

I do a bit about revolutionary love, my own journey to the left fully explained, and how many more people than we can give credit for are worth saving.

Its another Situation Watch!!!! We're talking Iran, we're talking unemployment, we're talking about daylight savings time, we're NOT talking about Mussolini in this episode!

Greg John and Austin continue discussing Mussolini: Son of the Century, including Mussolini's miserably failed attempts at PASOKification, who really controlled the fascist movement, a potential Son of the 21st Century, and much much more!

Its a bonus episode, unlocked for you! Our viewer, who we love. This episode gets into our personal lives a little bit, the financial system, and the concept of a "Cold Civil War" in America today.

It's bleak, but after we're talking about it for more than 5 minutes, it becomes the absolute schizoslop you've come to love and adore about us.

If you enjoyed this episode, PLEASE consider rolling over to our patreon here! We'd appreciate it a ton as we try to make more bonus content for y'all!

Its a classic RC news grab bag ep! Greg and John discuss the ongoing collapse of the international order, the ongoing reduction of World Empire to brute force, the ongoing Touching Of The Money, the ongoing brownshirting of US immigration enforcement, and a bunch of other shit.

Its a grim one folks, but we live in increasingly grim times.

In which Greg, John, and friend of the show Austin dive into M - Son of the Century - both the show itself, and the actual people in it. We actually manage to stay on topic for a lot of it, but there are a ton of digressions as always - general Italian history, contrasting Mussolini with Hitler, and all the easily distracted goodness you expect from us by now.

Solo Struggle 3: Greg talks a bit about whats going on in Venezuela, and does some chatting about whats happening in response on the US left

My apologies, the previous upload got removed, we suspect for copyright.

We make a valiant attempt at discussing Phil Neel and Nick Chavez's excellent FOREST AND FACTORY, which can be read here: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/phil-a-neel-and-nick-chavez-forest-and-factory

But along the way we end up talking about local grocery stores, the nature of lightspeed, how goddamn lucky the Bolsheviks were, and a wide variety of other topics.

We make a valiant attempt to talk about Phil Neel and Nick Chavez's *excellent* Forest And Factory, which we highly recommend you read here: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/phil-a-neel-and-nick-chavez-forest-and-factory

But we also end up talking about local grocery stores, the nature of lightspeed, how goddamn lucky the Bolsheviks were, and of course Mussolini.
