Dropping in in the middle of the night just like krampus would.

Oh hi, it's me, Krampus Paul. So sorry I died. I'm in Hell now. I missed you so much. I'm happy here, so I'm not coming home.

The one where the gang reads and reflects on Friederich Engles's Socialism: Utopian and Scientific

It’s a sad one as the boys go solo and try to do a wine podcast while America Burns. Fuck all this shit please continue to donate to abortion funds. In other news, there is a ton of incredible wine in the middle of the country. This is why we did the season, but holy shit is it hard to think about wine. Sorry, I just 37 minutes one because it was too long but also because I dont need H land Sec on my ass.

This episode is a reflection on Marx's Wage Labour and Capital.

I love you so much, BOOTPFB.

Comrade Paul is here, trying out something new. We are reading and reflecting on "Liberal Feminism," a chapter from Anuradha Ghandy's Philosophical Trends in the Feminist Movement.

Christianity and communism? Well that's why the fuck where here! Why is communism even a thing? What common interests might Christians and communists share? What can the one learn from the other, and vice versa? Tune in or DONT to find out or NOT

Let's talk privatization! The de-privatization of the early Christians, the privatizing tendencies of mainstream Christian theologies and praxis, and the contemporary privatization of what could be our shared, social goods.

ALSO PSA: I have SIX WHOLE episodes lined up where Skubala Paul takes a back seat to Comrade Paul and it'll be primary text readings and analysis! Since Christian witness gets told to take a hike I wanna keep this interesting. I will pair a wine or a spirit or a beer with each text accordingly, do a somm to ya on it and drink it as we go through the reading. Keep it saucy and light. And best part about this is that there is no Paywall for this bonus content, as commodifying community aid goes absolutely against the ethos of the pod and its just not right! I was reminded by a comrade to keep politics at the forefront and keep it free for the masses. So there we go.

1. "Mass Work" a document written for cadre members of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) written during a rectification campaign some time in the 90's. Find the text here: https://massline.info/

Anyway text me or call me whatever

Acts 2 and 4 is about to light us up! (Be thankful I didnt do a fall out boy song to start, but thankfully i also hate that song so would never have happened) To start off this new lil' chunk we'll ask, What did it really mean to hold all things in common for the early Christians? What might their work and their witness have to speak to our world today? ~ Burn Babylon Down.

Why is capitalism harming, violating, killing, the beloved creation? F*ck if i know. And how might capital and the God of the first creation story value the Earth, human and nonhuman creatures, and the entirety of the cosmos differently? What tensions does this create? If we hope to curb climate disaster, we will have to replace capitalism with a system that sees the goodness of creation.
