Episodes
Of Afghanistan And Paperwork
9/8/2021
We are back finally about 2-3 weeks too late with reference to the whole Afghanistan shit but this is actually about bureaucracy and power and more nebulous navel gazing stuff so it's ok timeless issues that only we can tackle with powerful brains and full hearts.

Part 1 of a 2 Part Rumble On Race (and) Class Politics
3/24/2021
Special guest Kyle Jackson is kind enough to join the show and challenge us on our general approach to forever ongoing Class vs. Race analysis of politics on the left. We use the 1619 Project as an example to get off the ground, and branch out into some of the broader more central disagreements that we have. NYT: We Respond to the Historians Who Critiqued The 1619 Project: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/20/magazine/we-respond-to-the-historians-who-critiqued-the-1619-project.html The...

Quentin Tarantino's Cartoon History
2/24/2021
Matt and I discuss the films of Quentin Tarantino as well as a clip from Douglas Laine at Zero Books discussing Adam Curtis' new series. I attempt to relate all this to the subconscious desires of the mass murderer/terrorist. Matt does a good job of defending the stale and all-encompassing Marxist interpretation of all things. See: https://nonsite.org/django-unchained-or-the-help-how-cultural-politics-is-worse-than-no-politics-at-all-and-why/...

Intersectionalism is a Stalinism
1/28/2021
Matt lays down a juicy narrative for why everything's so totally whacked from the basic premise of Mike Macnair's essay: "Intersectionalism, the highest stage of western Stalinism?" in 'Critique: Journal of Socialist Theory' https://classunity.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/intersectionality.pdf

Tim Dillon Is WRONG About The Giant Pool Of Money
12/22/2020

All Cops Are Dialectically Inevitable
6/8/2020
Corey's making me write the descriptions now I guess. I use the fact that Corey is sort of not-totally-white as a shield to defend myself from charges of "class reductionism" as I half-assedly summarize my cool vicarious grandpa Adolph Reed and some other people in a probably futile effort to take the lens off race and refocus it on class in the context of ongoing protests against police brutality citations: https://catalyst-journal.com/vol3/no3/the-economic-origins-of-mass-incarceration...

Of Primus and Word Choices
10/6/2019
Our guest Adam has been charged with the task of objectively describing the music of Primus. Inevitably this feat proves itself to be too difficult, and we take a moment to reflect on some of the more sophomoric choices of words we've used on the show. Check out Adam's work at: http://www.adamzahller.com/
