Chapo Trap House

This week we discuss the first half of Vladimir Lenin's groundbreaking work "The State and Revolution", written almost 100 years ago in 1917.

#7 - "State and Revolution" (Part 1)

We open with a struggle session and own Felix for being too much of an actual dirtbag. The rest of the episode is our positive review of DC Comics' Wonder Woman, why neoconservatives love it, why Lebanon really banned it, and the missed opportunity of making it in the image of the original super horned-up creator. Amber named this episode.

Episode 119 - Bating For Gadot (6/25/17)

In this week's episode we consider the Coen Bros worthy, father-son kidnap caper of Michael Flynn Jr. & Sr. and Gulen, break down all of Tuesday's election results, each consider running for office, read about Greta Van Susteren's new APP, and finally, Matt and Virgil make another bet.

Ep. 40: Naglemania & The Dirtbag Left w/ Angela Nagle and Amber A'Lee Frost

Joining me this week is Adaner Usmani. We discuss his latest essay in Jacobin (co-authored with Connor Kilpatrick) titled "The New Communists." They argue that it's time to leave the iconography and inward-facing legacy of 1917 behind and forge a socialism that addresses people's lived concerns in 2018. 

SOCIALISM FOR REGULAR-ASS PEOPLE

-"The New Communists," https://www.jacobinmag.com/2017/12/the-new-communists
-"Did Liberals Give us Mass Incarceration?" https://catalyst-journal.com/vol1/no3/did-liberals-give-us-mass-incarceration

I also mentioned this important essay by Ralph Miliband during the interview: "Moving On," https://www.marxists.org/archive/miliband/1976/xx/moveon.htm

Possibly deceased politician, economist, philosopher and musicologist Lyndon LaRouche* calls in to explain the secret KGB-House of Windsor population reduction cabal. We're then joined by writer Lyle Jeremy Rubin to fully dissect the resurrection of Max Boot, the enduring grift of the neocons, and how we must resist The Blob.
