Name: #127 - Century of the Self: Kill the Cop in Your Head by Swampside Chats
Duration: 1 h 40 min 46 s
Description: We talk about part 3 of the Adam Curtis video essay series.

I'm a fan of your podcast,  folks, but I was disappointed  with your treatment of Reich's thought.  There's a lot of value in his research and a lot of silliness and,  just to note, much of what I regard as silly hasn't been tested.  

This week, we're joined by David Dayen, executive editor at American Prospect, to discuss the COVID situation along with what a Biden administration could do even without Democratic control over the Senate. Don't let these excuses and malarky re: his powerlessness fool you!

We’re back In the Enemy Camp w/ C Derick Varn, and we would like to speak to the (((managers))). On the forced march from a generous patron, we read a mid-90s reactionary pseudo-class analysis from Pat Buchanan’s main man Sam Francis entitled “Leviathan and Its Enemies”, published in 2016.

And introducing...singer, song-writer, composer, multi-instrumentalist, bandleader, and all around legend, it’s Mr. Frank Zappa!

And today we’ll be talking all about his life, his works, and whether or not that’s a real poncho, I mean is that a mexican poncho or a sears poncho, through his autobiography “The Real Frank Zappa Book.”

We tackle the short squeeze at GameStop that has caused their stock price to explode and offer a handy explainer for essential investing terms such as “shorting”, “naked shorts”, “tendies”, “diamond hands”, “gamma squeeze”, and “wife’s boyfriend”. We further offer a few lessons to take away from what has happened so far as well as some predictions for the future and a stern insistence that nothing we say in this podcast is investment advice.

Episode 216: The Short Squeeze on GameStop

Listener Nick joins us to tackle Erica Benner’s 1995 Marxian treatise on nationality and nationalist politics, “Really Existing Nationalisms: A Post-Communist View from Marx and Engels”.

#131 - “Really Existing Nationalisms” (Part 1) w/ Nick

"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!"
