I just saw that Jamie from The Antifada is doing a new podcast called "Everybody Loves Communism". I have a lot in my podcatcher queue already, so I was wondering if anyone else had tried it, before I take the time to listen to it.
I stopped listening to The Antifada a while back when she was still on it, after the leftcom stuff started to be too much for me, which is why I even ask lol.
It is thoroughly all right. I listened to most of it when it started and have dipped in a couple times since. Sometimes it was apparent that they were still finding their rhythm as hosts, which is to be expected. I haven't listened to the most recent ones, so I assume that that has gotten better.
The show is mostly "vegetables" as in they read and talk about theory and history. I know they've gone through the Paris Commune, State and Revolution, Critique of the Gotha Program, and I think another one of Marx's works early on. Not sure where it's at now.
(Also the antifada fucks, don't @me)
Nice, I'll slot it into my queue. I'm always happy to listen to that kind of podcast, I have enough podcasts that are 100% fluff (chapo for example lol) that I can mix in some more substantive stuff.
I really enjoyed the podcast while I was still finding my footing with being a leftist. But once I was more established specifically as an ML, I still liked probably 98% of the podcast, but that 2% was grating enough that I found myself skipping over it a lot, and eventually I just unsubscribed so it wouldn't be taking up space. Pretty similar story as with Behind the Bastards for me too, except that one was more abrupt, I stopped in the middle of an episode lol
i like the antifada in it's current iteration. really good episode recently with brett from revleft on it that had some good ML-leftcom synthesis. found out ap andy is pretty much a "centrist" marxist not really leftcom and grooved with it
