This Wreckage

We're joined by geographer and filmmaker Dr. Nerve V. Macaspac to talk about the history of the Philippines, its Maoist insurgency, and the rise of Rodrigo Duterte. We also talk Amazon, red-lining, Marxist geography, and Presidential foot fetishism. The last part of the episode is a discussion of Nerve's work on autonomous territories in Colombia, Mexico, and the Philippines that have earned some form of autonomy after decades of brutal armed struggle.

A long episode just too good to cut down! A 50th Anniversary of the foundation of the Filipino Communist Party spectacular!

The AntiFaPDA (That's Antifada + Pod Damn America, not a new anti-masturbation campaign) continues with our guest Alex Ptak and a deep dive into the depths of SJW Youtuber Marla Mae Fish! We defend Tim Burton and his goth babe characters from her bad liberal takes. Is this the foundation of an Internationalist Dark Web?

Comedian Alex Ptak (@ptakjokes) of Ballin' Out Super and fam-cast Pod Damn America popped into the studio for a free-wheeling exchange of ideas.

We confronted the most pressing issues of the day: How many radicalized Wine Moms will it take to bring on the rev? Now that Teen Vogue is anarchist and Penthouse is fash, which basic-ass mag will be the next to pivot? Why did Amazon think they could bring their subsidized helipad HQ to NYC with no consequences when this is a GODDAMN union town? And is Jonathan Chait the scabbiest scab who ever scabbed?

All this and an update on merch!

Justin Akers Chacón, a person who actually knows what he's talking about, joins us to discuss the left case for actually knowing that the hell you're talking about.

After some opening thoughts on the 'Yellow Vest' movement in France (which Sean mistakenly calls the 'Yellow Jackets' at least 4 times bc he clearly has some unresolved childhood bee issues) we dive into the migration maelstrom.

Are borders good for unions? Has appealing to state repression been totally awesome for the labor movement? Does creating a criminalized minority of precarious workers help to bring the socialism? Can we trust Hillary Clinton, Emmanuel Macron and Tony Blair to triangulate us out of this mess we're in? Will the transnational working class ever be able to organize in an era of racial fear-mongering, militarized borders and the unfettered flow of capital?

(That last one was a trick question. Justin gives us amazing examples of how transnational organizing can happen, has happened and is an absolute fucking necessity. Enjoy!)
