On his recent trip through eastern Europe reported on the show earlier, journalist Alistair Smith fulfilled a wish to visit Georgia, the former Soviet republic with its rich history. He did not go looking for stories of the darker past when Stalin was in charge; however, a museum to his honour and the house he was born in were on his group itinerary. Apart from some time in Stalin's home town, Alistair also went up into the Caucasus mountains.

Last week I (Joti Brar) spoke with @GarlandNixon about the Trump regime’s new ‘pivot to Asia’. 

We discussed why it is that imperialism is NOT CAPABLE of living in peace with its neighbours, and why China remains the number one target of the USA's regime-change machinations.

We talked about how the US imperialists’ attempt to refocus attention and resources on ‘stopping’ (ie, strangling and bringing down) China is affecting Europe and what it means for the proxy war against Russia that Nato has been waging in Ukraine. Can there really be peace in Europe while Nato continues to exist?

And we discussed the need to distance ourselves from the noise and distraction of surface details that make up the news cycle and educate ourselves to see the systemic drives that underpin the policies of all the imperialist governments, which are facing imminent economic catastrophe as a result of the global capitalist system’s worst-ever crisis of overproduction.

Imperialist assault on Russia and China Garland Nixon and Joti Brar Ep 32

Why is Russia using World War II as its major historical anchor? Why is the end of World War II seen in Ukraine as a victory of one evil over another, rather than a victory of good over evil? What was Ukraine’s role in World War II? 

Host: Volodymyr Yermolenko, Ukrainian philosopher and writer, the chief editor of UkraineWorld, president of PEN Ukraine.

Today’s Trotskyites claim to be the ‘true inheritors’ of VI Lenin, faithful upholders of revolutionary Leninist ideology and of the Bolshevik organising tradition which brought us the world’s first socialist state in 1917. But in reality their organisations and leaders play the role of agent provocateur in the working-class movement, just as Trotsky did throughout his lifetime.

By consistently denigrating and opposing the forces that actually fight imperialism, whether at home or abroad, Trotskyism works to mislead potential revolutionaries and prevent them from making any meaningful contribution to the struggle for socialism. Despite their constant calls for strikes and uprisings ‘now’, no Trotskyist group has ever led a successful movement against capitalism in over a century of revolutionary posturing.

More than that: Trotskyism has actively impeded all such struggles. By re-packaging imperialist lies in ‘Leninist’ phrases, Trotskyists promote ‘analyses’ and slogans that mislead and confuse rather than educating, and they engage in activities that are designed to prevent any advance of the working class.

In Britain today, their practical programme amounts to support for the imperialist Labour party, support for imperialist wars, and implacable hostility toward genuine revolutionaries. A plethora of Trotskyist organisations are funded by the British state and promoted by British corporate media: one of many strategies used by the capitalist class to sabotage the efforts of the workers to rise to the position of ruling class and build a bright socialist future.

This episode is the first of a two-part discussion delving into historical splits within socialism. C. Derick Varn, the host of Varn Vlog, has an extensive background in philosophy, anthropology, and history. He takes us from the First and Second Internationals to the ideological divergences of Trotskyism and Stalinism. He also discusses the factions within Leninism, the impact of World War I on socialist strategies, and the emergence of Trotskyist and Marxist-Leninist thought. The episode navigates through key historical figures, including Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin. Of course it wouldn’t be Macro N Cheese without a look at Modern Monetary Theory and its place in a discussion of socialist theory.  

C. Derick Varn is a poet, teacher, and political theorist. He is the host of Varn Vlog. He was a reader at Zer0 books from 2015 to 2021. He spent most of the 2010s outside the U.S. in the Republic of Korea, Mexico, and Egypt. He is the author of the poetry collections, Apocalyptics and Liberation and All the Bright Etcetera.

The Red Thread: A History of Socialist Tradition with C. Derick Varn, Part 1

The second half of Steve’s conversation with Derick Varn goes into the history of the socialist movement from the 1960s to the present.  

Derick traces some of the current factionalism back to the ideological battles between Trotsky and Stalin covered in Part One of this series. This includes the debates on ‘socialism in one country’ versus international socialism. He covers further divisions within Trotskyism, the Red Scare’s successful suppression of the CPUSA, and the formation of the Black Panthers. He describes the rise of Maoism, its influence on student movements in the West, and further ideological splits. 

Steve and Derick emphasize that historical developments are always connected to the material conditions of their time. Even the Bernie Sanders movement. They talk of the struggles intrinsic to past and present socialist organizations and reflect on the modern implications of these ideologies and the challenges of organizing under current capitalist conditions. 

“In the ‘Eighteenth Brumaire,’ Marx talks about how all great revolutions play-act a revolutionary moment of the past. So, for him... he talked about the English Civil War and the Bible, and the French Revolution, and the Roman Empire.  

“We are stuck LARPing the past because we don't know what the future is.”

The Red Thread: A History of Socialist Tradition with C. Derick Varn, Part 2

"Friendly Fire - the secret war between the allies," explores the complex and often contentious relationship between the Allied powers, particularly Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union, during and leading up to World War II. The text challenges conventional narratives by revealing secret intelligence operations, political manipulations, and underlying strategic disagreements that impacted the war's trajectory and the post-war global order. It highlights Franklin D. Roosevelt's controversial actions, including his attempts to dismantle the British Empire and his complex relationship with Soviet figures like Harry Hopkins, alongside Winston Churchill's efforts to secure American support while navigating Britain's dwindling resources. Furthermore, the sources discuss the political machinations behind major wartime decisions, such as the timing of the Second Front and the policy of unconditional surrender, suggesting these were influenced by hidden agendas and intelligence efforts.Stalin

On this episode, Lee takes a closer look at the classic alien myth of the Roswell crash. Then, Nathan takes a look at another explanation for what happened that day - it's stranger, more disturbing, and even more far-fetched...

Two Roswell Hypotheses

LYRICS:
Yeah, Yeah
Kid Napoleon 
Name ring through the hall 
Like a podium  
Thought I’d rule the world 
By sophomore year 
Now the empire’s dust
Nobody here  

Cuz autocrat like that
Don’t give nothin’ back  
Take the crown
Break it down
Watch the empire crack  
Cuz autocrat like that
Don’t give nothin’ back  
Now I’m sittin’ in the silence 
Where my shadow raps  

Jason Nada, fifteen
Bored in class  
Found a tricorn hat
Started spittin’ fast  

Hand in my coat
Thought I looked like a king  
High school hallways bowed 
When I started to sing  
Got a clique in the lunchroom
Fans in the bleachers  
Bars sharper than the rulers 
Of my history teachers  

Yeah, I studied empire
I knew how they fell  
But I swore I’d be the genius 
Who rewrote the tale  

Cuz autocrat like that
Don’t give nothin’ back  
Take the crown
Break it down
Watch the empire crack  

Cuz autocrat like that
Don’t give nothin’ back  
Now I’m sittin’ in the silence 
Where my shadow rap

First, cut the teachers 
Who were hatin’ my grind  
Then the lunch staff starvin’ me
Wastin’ my time  
Counselors talkin’ like 
I’m just one more stat  
Nah, I’m Kid Napoleon
Remember that  

Took the wrestlers down in rhymes
Cheer squad too  
Every “enemy” I listed 
Got erased from my crew  
But paranoia’s a poison — 
My friends looked fake  
If trust is a test
Every student breaks  

Who can I trust? 
Not you, not me  
Every crown in the mirror 
Lookin’ treachery  
Every empire falls
I read that fact  
But I thought I was different… 
Til the ceiling cracked  

Who can I trust? 
Not you, not me  
Every crown in the mirror 
Lookin’ treachery  
Every empire falls
I read that fact  
But I thought I was different… 
Til the ceiling cracked  

Now the hallways echo 
With nobody’s feet  

Empty gym, empty class
Empty throne, empty seat  
No applause for my verses
No teacher to grade  
No rivals left standin’
No crowd to persuade  

I destroyed my own kingdom 
For a crown too tight  
And I’m alone with my rhymes 
In the flicker of the light  
Kid Napoleon
Age fifteen
That’s that  
Cuz autocrat like that… 
Autocrat like that!

That’s the tale of Nada
Yeah
Jason’s gone  
You destroy 
Until nothing’s left to lean upon  
Remember this empire
Built on pride and rap  
Cuz autocrat like that… 

You don’t get nothin’ back.

SINCERE IMPOSTER is an intimate collection of artists exploring a curious mixture of New Wave, Dance, EDM, Folk Rock, Metal, Art Pop, Electro, Dreamwave, and Experimental World Pop. Collectively, this is known as QUIRKPOP — music that pushes the creative limits of traditional pop.

Expect an unpredictable journey through sound, emotion, and humor, where genres collide and pop bends in strange new ways. Each song is conceived, composed, and performed with total sincerity, whether it’s built from voices, instruments, software, or hybrid experimentation. The focus is on the music itself: if it resonates, it resonates. No explanation required.

SINCERE IMPOSTER is curated by two musicians, both living within the same body, sharing a singular existence. They identify as Danielle & Dave. They are both psychologically and musically confused, yet extremely and unapologetically sincere.

Influences range from Weird Al and Nathan Fielder to David Lynch, Rosalia, Monatik, Atarashii Gakko!, Rammstein, T-Pain, and T-Swift. 

Danielle & Dave’s favorite inventions include the vacuum and the peach pitter. Their father is simply known as Vessel… who may be an entity or a god.


Post-peasant commies Dan and Jack read over bits of theory each week in an effort to understand the worldwide state of socialism.
