By gosh, you two (Happy Norouz Nima!), plus Max and Ben produce ''great work''!

Identity Politics is the compensation with identity platitudes for lack of ''economical planning'' as opposed to letting market take care of it, let alone war and peace! It's the phony stress on identity like what HRC did so to avoid real issues! It seems you're mistakenly blanketing all relevant progressive issues of race and gender under the title identity politics! If I'm right, you better correct that!

This podcast suggests that it is okay for folks who historically have been marginalized do things that make those in power "a little uncomfortable.”  “It’s a price we should be willing to pay.”  Well, for two guys who claim they are telling us the story on the history of BS, they can throw this podcast into the latest chapter.  Preventing speakers from speaking on a college campus —often by intimidation or threat of violent disruption is not simply “making those in power a little uncomfortable.”  Canada passing a law imposing a speech mandate is not merely “making those in power a little uncomfortable.”  A bit hypocritical, this podcast.

"Liberals didn't have a response to Reagan's vision"?! Gotta love that tactic: just dismiss ANY response from your opponents by saying that they have none.

I had an interesting revelation when you guys stated that, controversy and aggression is their currency in the attention economy. That's their behavioral strategy to maintain attention and reinforce their memetics. And since fear, anger, and attacking opponents is such a strong motivator for maintaining communities and repeat behavior, the media is going to build profit models around that successful behavioral system. So by virtue of chasing the dollar, they have to attack dollar insignificant issues, like the most disenfrachised poorest class of people.

Part 1 –– We welcome returning champ Nick Chavez – mechanical engineer, marxist political economist – for a long conversation about his new essay examining the real nitty-gritty aspects of production and labor, knowledge and management. Time to step down from the ivory tower and onto the shop floor. We talk extensively about different modes of manufacturing and the stratification of technical expertise within capitalist production – and what needs to be kept, changed, and abolished in a transition to communist production.

This will be my last track of 2023 and goes out to all of my friends here on Soundcloud. You all killed it this year and I know you'll kick beaucoup ass again next year. 

The title of this one is a twist on the name of a Parliament track. Not really related otherwise. I just put breakbeat for genre but this one goes in a few directions. Starts off at 141 BPM and ends at 161. There are some Busta Rhymes samples in there and a little splash of ACID! Enjoy and Happy New Year to you all.

MASSIVE  ATTACK  1.1

This Beat Was Made By Average Bleach Drinker 
LYRICS BELOW
Nowadays- governments sellin us fake weed-
Plugs stuck bargaining margins to make meets-
Fuck- argueing' over a couple dollars you see-
It costs more for me to tolerate than scholarship fees-
We only free as a dog with no collar and fleas-
The way we live man we might as well of borrowed the green-
Feelin dread when its work on my caller ID-
But i need bread- thats for sure- so i crawl to my knees-
What can i say? No opportunity in my way-
Its more free being broke than in jail for makin plays-
No joke but this life getting stail- its no place-
For your growth- or your soul- set to fail- and misplace-
Anyway-
Back to jugglin jargin- jugular huntin in the jungle thinkin fuck an apartment-
My thought fungal- and they militant, rather hit where its started-
Hear em bitch about the consequence quiet when shit departed-
Think i made it when they riot to my shit or im a target-
Or you find my cd's or tapes in flea markets-
Wear this mask up in a bank but never a red carpet-
If you worship your celebrities you are fuckin-
Ugh

Nevermind- nothin worse than evil thoughts in a clever mind-
Seein shots ring- the spot- never bettered mine-
Be the type to have a glock in the dresser-
Iron stocked in the sweater if the weather fine-
Ease the hike in the pressure when the treasure climb-
Either that or tell a teller all the cheddar mine-
Whatevers better, trynna rap and have some leisure time-
Treat this shit like im professor this yo lecture time-
Im boutta pepper minds with word from the weber-
Rhymes verbs and some stellar lines-
Displeasure from you people hellen keller blind-
Try to teach ya 'for you fellas hit the cellar-
Lined up for the debtors- I-
Rather see us people come together-
Find trust-
In these letters-
Time to bust at opressors-
Sigh- 

Sigh

We’ve heard this scare story a million times: A theater group at Wesleyan won’t perform The Vagina Monologues because it’s offensive to trans women! Oberlin is banning classes featuring white authorsI Rich, sheltered college students, increasingly indoctrinated by radical Marxist professors, are asking for safe spaces!

But how much merit is there to the popular trope that college kids are hypersensitive and coddled? Is there really a free speech crisis America’s campuses? What are the origins of this evergreen complaint? Who does the constant harping on the threat of “political correctness” and anti-free speech undergrads actually hurt? And more importantly, whom does it benefit?

Today's guest is David Palumbo-Liu, professor of Comparative Literature at Stanford University.
