The old forms of the Left are moribund and the new forms are stupid. We're making a podcast that discusses the need to organize a Dialectical Pessimism and develop a salvage project capable of sparking a new workers' movement for socialism. A clean, honest, and unsentimental melancholy is required; we are cultivating one and would like to share it with you.

    Again, Let America be America Again... For Once (AGAIN)

    This week we continue our series on republicanism by returning to an episode we did on the complicated legacy of the American Revolution. This older episode now has a 40 minute preface where we discuss the episode and how much things have changed since the original, enjoy!  Like the bourgeois project as a whole, the historical consequences of the American Revolution have had mixed results. Simultaneously spurring on the cause of human freedom and stifling it, the American Revolution was pregnant with a creative and destructive spirit. As the American Empire appears to be in decline, we ask whether or not things could have gone, or could still go, in another direction.

    Life, Liberty, and... Slavery? The Mixed Legacy of 1776

    *The first version of this episode was only an hour long for some reason. We've re-uploaded the full episode which is a half hour longer.* For America's 250th birthday, the boys got together to discuss the legacy of the American Revolution. There are two major poles of thought on the American left, with wildly differing interpretations of the American Revolution. They both make some good points, we discuss those here.    The Social and Intellectual Legacy of the American Revolution https://www.gilderlehrman.org/history-resources/essays/social-and-intellectual-legacy-american-revolution    Ken Burns Makes the Case for the Greatness of 1776 https://jacobin.com/2026/05/ken-burns-american-revolution-history    Class Struggle Was a Crucial Part of the American Revolution https://jacobin.com/2026/05/american-revolution-britain-class-struggle    Radical historian challenges traditional Marxist view of ‘so-called’ American Revolution https://www.peoplesworld.org/article/radical-historian-challenges-traditional-marxist-view-of-so-called-american-revolution/   The Conquest of Power, Chapter 2: The American Revolution https://www.marxists.org/archive/weisbord/conquest2.htm
