    Ep 113 - Indigenous Marxism

    In this episode, Dr. Brandon Sanchez returns to discuss the development of Indigenous Mayan Marxism in Guatemala. We trace how Guatemala's revolutionary movement evolved from often treating Indigenous peoples simply as peasants toward confronting questions of colonialism, racism, nationality, and Indigenous self-determination. We explore the ideas of organizations including FAR, EGP, MRP-Ixim, MIT, and MAYAS, and how Indigenous revolutionaries synthesized Marxism-Leninism, anti-colonialism, Pan-Mayan politics, and Indigenous cosmovision. We also discuss proposals for a socialist federal and plurinational Guatemala and what these debates can teach revolutionary movements today.

    Ep 112 - "Obsession" and the Vagaries of Capitalist Hollywood (ft. Evan and Ward from Left of the Projector)

    Jeremy flies solo as host with Ward and Evan from Left of the Projector as guests. They discuss the film Obsession both as a piece of art, as well as a cultural artifact in terms of its production and distribution. They talk about the low-budget and high profit of the movie itself, which springboards into a conversation about the highly exploitative industry that underlies it.

    Ep 110 - Western Media Concedes North Korean Success

    Tony, Jeremy, and Justin break down The Wall Street Journal's recent coverage of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, centering on the headline-grabbing article, "The World's Most Surprising Economic Success Story Is... North Korea." Has Western capitalist media finally acknowledged that communism works? Or is there more to the story than the headline suggests? Join the hosts as they unpack the article's claims, examine the broader narrative around North Korea's socialist construction, and explore what this surprising piece reveals about capitalist media and it's limits.  Additional Links  Image of Scary North Korean Skyscraper How to Visit North Korea w/ Zoe Stephens (AES Episode) Explaining North Korea (DPRK) w/ Ben Weston (AES Episode) A Walk Through Pyongyang in 2026 Traffic in Pyongyang 2026 Support the show Join us on Patreon for early-release episodes, study guides, bonus content, TheoryBeats, and more!

    Ep 109 - Half the Sky: Think of the Children

    Half the Sky is a brand new podcast from ProlesPod host, Rae! It is an attempt to provide a perspective often lacking from the podcast space: that of women (and women-adjacent folks). If and when those voices are present, they are quite often offset by their dude counterparts. And so (at least on the mic) HTS is a bro-free zone. Rae's cohosts on this very special audio journey are Jen (Big Nasty) of How the Red Was Won, Lenore from Workers Lit, Luna Oi!, and Revolutionary Th0t. Episode one of Half The Sky is partly a discussion of why none of our hosts has children, but additionally, would anything change their minds? There are further conversations about the differences between the extremely hostile world that western kids are subjected to, vs the attitude toward mothers and children in Vietnam. And Luna advocates for humans to return to egg-laying like our distant ancestors. HTS Instagram

    Rae and Justin (and Martín!) are joined by Camarada Michi and Danny El Comunista to have a deep discussion of the ways in which South American socialist revolutions have formed and changed.

    Ep 107 - Prison, Innocence, and Love In Revolution (w/ Jean Paul Fartre)

    Justin and Rae sit down with Jean Paul Fartre (JPF) for a wide-ranging conversation on justice work, prison abolition, wrongful convictions, and the role of love in revolutionary politics. Along the way, they discuss JPF's experiences as a male escort, the limits of liberal approaches to prison abolition, and what meaningful solidarity can look like in practice.
