    Ep 46 - The Economics of Empire w/ Peter Ryan

    While the American empire blows its brains out against the wailing wall, Angela is joined by Peter Ryan to discuss his article "Economics of Empire". Empire brutally subjugates the periphery but it deploys more nuanced tactics to exploit the core. Beset on all sides by rightoid slaves, leftoid hustlers, and vile third positionist demons dancing to the tune the imperial elites have selected, can we build a durable anti-imperialism for the masses using the occluded Fourth Position of Scientific Connllyism-De Gaullism-Dengism?   Read "Economics of Empire" here:  https://ryanresearch.substack.com/p/economics-of-empire-elites-win-everyone   --- To hear every episode of Rocinante, subscribe to the Patreon: https://patreon.com/RocinantePod You can find all our links here: https://linktr.ee/rocinantepod

    Ep 44 - War with Iran 3: Schrodinger's War with Iran w/Malcom Kyeyune

    Sean and Angela are joined by friend of the pod Malcom Kyeyune to discuss the favored odds on the current superposition of the war with Iran. Will Neocon Don's pressing need to rerun the battle of Thermopylae be stymied by a fleet of ancient bombers and cutting edge warships overflowing with raw sewage, or will the empire 'fuck it we ball' into World War IV/the grave?

    Ep 43 - Personal Pan Perestroika *PREVIEW*

    Was the collapse of the Soviet Union inevitable or was is destroyed from within? Was it collateral damage of the world spirit trying to birth Papa John a decade too soon? Sean and Angela discuss "Collapse: The Fall of the Soviet Union" By Vladislav M. Zubok.    https://www.powells.com/book/collapse-the-fall-of-the-soviet-union-9780300268171   --- To hear the rest of this episode and every Patreon exclusive episode we release, subscribe to the Patreon: https://patreon.com/RocinantePod You can find all our links here: https://linktr.ee/rocinantepod

    Ep 42 - Turning the Tide w/ László Molnárfi

    On this week's episode of Rocinante, Angela is joined by László Molnárfi. Has the left abandoned its working-class roots by embracing a liberal cultural politics of moralism and identity, thereby making itself irrelevant and pushing people toward right-wing populism? How can a revitalized socialist movement reclaim popular appeal by focusing on material issues like housing and wages, while constructively engaging with questions of nationalism, migration, and sovereignty?

    Ep 38 - The Fix (Nixon was RIGHT)

    Sean and Angela dive into the provocative 1998 book The Fix. Shifting the budget to focus heavily on treatment over law enforcement dramatically reduced the heroin crisis and crime rates. Why did this successful, evidence-based strategy disappear, leading to our current exponential crisis?  Find The Fix here: https://www.powells.com/book/fix-9780520223356 Thanks to Jackson Duke for tracking down the 48 Hours documentary Heroin Connection, mentioned in the book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHSna7lpYcE --- To hear every episode of Rocinante, subscribe to the Patreon: https://patreon.com/RocinantePod You can find all our links here: https://linktr.ee/rocinantepod
