communists who burn the flag are just fucking annoying. you hurt your own cause by pissing people off for no reason. your actually pretty lucky to live here. like why would anyone wanna follow or listen ppl hate their country and themselves

this whole social media / anti work shit was so fucking r-slured annoying. like this is not only useless but just so irrelevant. sad

I'm sorry but the iww doesn't do anything and is really just a social club.

wait you agree what she said in that interview??? dog walker anarchists who doesn't want to work but never really has? im sorry but people have to work, work has to get done.  how that's organized is what we can control.

y'all sound deranged. what she said was stupid and embarrassing. people just realized how this was an forum full of redditors and not the workers revolution

introduce ppl to anarchists theory: I'm pretty sure we call those people groomers

education is something that really interests me, I like to refer to Paulo Freire's works on it especially the book "Extension or Communication"

Episode 2: The 9/9/2001 Massoud Assassination

This episode we sit down to discuss the recent antiwork internet phenomenon, its detachment from its more pointed ideological origins, and the growth of online spaces where people vent their frustrations with the nature of contemporary work. This discussion was spurred by a recent appearance by an r/antiwork moderator on Fox News, that lead to a viral backlash against it that, by the time you're hearing this you may well have forgotten about. Joining us are a few ex-mods from the anti-work discord.

300 // Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

The US claimed unelected coup leader Juan Guaidó was "interim president" of Venezuela from January 2019 to December 2022, when his former allies in the right-wing opposition removed him from the position. Washington however still refuses to recognize elected President Nicolás Maduro.

Geopolitical Economy Report editor-in-chief Ben Norton discusses the end of the meme-worthy character with Venezuelan journalist Jesús Rodríguez Espinoza, who runs the independent news website Orinoco Tribune.

End of Juan Guaidó: US-appointed Venezuelan coup leader ousted by ex allies

A misanthropic catalog of shocking images from around the world, the bizarre, unpleasant, baldly racist, and extremely influential MONDO CANE (1962) was a pioneering "shockumentary." We revisit this strange and ugly artefact to discuss why it was taken so seriously in its day.

Its the final episode of Lethal Weapon and therefore the final episode of the show. We have nothing left to give you. No gas in the tank. Goodbye everyone. Forever.

Season 3 Episode 15: The Final Episode of ClayneCast Ever

We start with a visit to that smart city we all love, New Orleans, and see how the police department’s facial recognition surveillance is going. Then we revisit China, this time to lay out the broader conditions of its zombie economy and attempts by the state to reassert its power over capital by enforcing discipline on the tech and real estate sector, and giving them strong guidance about how they can work to better serve the state’s interest. We discuss this further in the context of China’s antitrust crackdown on tech companies—we might be envious of the means, but we should be wary of the goals.

276. China’s Zombie Economy and Capital Crackdown

[We are unlocking the intro episode for the new book club. The first taste is free, find the rest on the premium feed.]

We kick off the TMK book club with the excellent new book – Mute Compulsion by Søren Mau – which offers a foundational analysis of power, value, capital, and social reproduction. Mau’s book is written with a real analytical clarity that advances our critical, theoretical understanding of the relations and operations of those things in society and our lives. We set the context for the book and our approach before discussing the Introduction chapter, which established the book’s motivating questions and overarching argument about the need to pay special attention to the economic power of capital.

*Unlocked* – 275. TMK BC5: Mute Compulsion, Introduction

Matt Christman of Chapo Trap House joins us to describe a heated exchange with a Q believer, break down the entire QAnon movement, and even muse about its outcome. Additionally, Matt is forced to discuss the QAnon conspiracy about the Deep State, CIA, and George H W Bush killing JFK. Finally, and because John-John had a kid, we then examine JFK Jr. and the QAnon claim that he didn't die in the plane crash and is now living as Trump mega-fan Vincent Fusca — who doesn't seem to have gotten the memo.

Episode 19: JFK Feat. Matt Christman of Chapo Trap House

"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!"
