And introducing, on lead vocals, guitar and bass...it’s Mr. Billy Corgan. Yes we’re talking through the legendary frontman and sole consistent member of gen x rock titans Smashing Pumpkins, a person who is constantly portrayed as either alt-rock’s greatest villain or saint, depending on who you’re asking. And today we’re joined by Struggle Sessions Leslie Lee III to dive into some of Mr. Corgan’s most intimate thoughts and feelings about his life and career through the best access we have...his mid-2000’s LiveJournal called simply “BillyBlog”.

#132 - "Really Existing Nationalisms" (Part 2)

"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!"
