We are two Marxist Feminists who are here to spread the word of Karl Marx and other theorists who shaped our world views through works of fiction. Kristen and Mariah felt as though many of the popular booktok accounts and podcasts lacked what we love most: Dialectical Materialism. This podcast is a labor of love to try to combat Red Scare propaganda and discuss topics we feel are necessary to achieve working class liberation from capitalism, patriarchy, white supremacy, settler colonialism, and more. We are not liberals, we are communists. Workers of the world unite!
