#134 - Fundamental Principles of Communist Production and Distribution (Part 2)

This episode, we are truly on the forced march through a grueling three hour Stalin defense episode of Revolutionary Left Radio with some unreconstructed tankies. To help us recalibrate our communist compass, we welcome on Sean Guillory of the exemplary Sean’s Russia Blog to set the record straight on Stalin.

#109 - Stalin Response w/ Sean (Sean's Russia Blog)

Everyone agrees that money in politics is a problem, but in MEET THE DONORS: DOES MONEY TALK? (2016), filmmaker Alexandra (daughter of Nancy) Pelosi asks: is it really? She interviews some of the biggest political donors in America to find out why they donate and what they expect for their donations, and finds out... not a whole lot. Politics - what a concept! PLUS: we discuss the state of the left in electoral politics, and definitively identify the worst Twitter feed in the world.

#126 - “The Divine Left”

We travel to Lumberton to plumb the dark depths of David Lynch's BLUE VELVET (1986), in which good and evil are forces that are intertwined - and not a strict dichotomy. We discuss how critics then and now have received the film's provocations, and our own relationships to Lynch's work. PLUS:  red states vs blue states, Joe Biden's cabinet, and Tim Allen's discovery of Marxism.

"The best goddamn communist podcast, period."
—Tom O'Brien, From Alpha to Omega

This is Swampside Chats. The podcast where communists shoot the shit about current events, history, political economy, and theory.

"You are free not only to invite us, but to go yourselves wherever you will, even into the Swamp. In fact, we think that the Swamp is your proper place, and we are prepared to render you every assistance to get there. Only let go of our hands, don’t clutch at us and don’t besmirch the grand word freedom, for we too are 'free' to go where we please, free to fight not only against the Swamp, but also against those who are turning towards the Swamp!"
