We sit down with Sophia from Redneck Revolt to discuss the origins of the organization, how best to counter the far right, the rise of fascism, gun culture and more.

In this bonus episode we saddle up to our armchairs to discuss two bizarre contemporary cases of leftish delusion: the Avital Ronell scandal and the rise of transformational festivals.

The Gang goes straight to the Gulag when we take a magic mustache ride with 1938's "Dialectical and Historical Materialism" from the "History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks)", better known by its subtitle as the "Short Course". Did we mention it's written by Stalin? We read Stalin this week.

Help us get dizzy with success!

Recorded a few weeks ago, the gang reacted to a clip of the women on The View discussing the merits of socialism, which led to a conversation about the nature of the transition to communism, social mediation under high communism, and the ethics of killing the children of royalty.

This week, in our first fan-dictated reading, we discuss "The Law of Capitalist Breakdown", the second chapter of Henryk Grossman's 1929 crisis theory classic "The Law of Accumulation and Breakdown of the Capitalist System". Not one step back, comrades!

This week, The Gang welcomes Amir from the fantastic marxist science blog Cold and Dark Stars to discuss prospects for a new marxist philosophy of science, popularization of scientific socialism, and a better version of the old "decadence of capitalism" thesis. The posts we have in mind are "The Decline of Science, the Decline of Capitalism", "Ergodicity as the Solution for the Decline of Science", and "Crisis Theory" from http://colddarkstars.wordpress.com

The Gang ❤️s the 90s, revisiting Gen X post-left icon Theodore "The Unabomber" Kaczynski. Touching only briefly on his hit single, we get into some deep cuts from the 'Zynski catalog: "The Truth About Primitive Life", "The System's Neatest Trick" (2008), and the Twitter-sourced epistle "Letter to a Young Revolutionary" (2018).
