    Diving into the Wreckage: One Crisis after Another w/ C. Derick Varn

    Sean and Varn are back to talk current events, discuss theory and gripe about everyone and everything. On the tumbrils this week: artificial intelligence, the DSA, sovereign debt, multipolarity and how not to debate with Colin Drumm online. In the second half we talk about 'The Mamdani Moment', Varn's recent ascension to Chief Fly-in-the-Ointment in the DSA, the pre-political theories of the ILC and how the ruling class are dragging us all into the hellfire.

    E315: Conservative Marxism w/ Ralph Leonard

    Sean and Andy are joined by British-Nigerian writer and podcaster, Ralph Leonard, to talk about identity, politics and the Anglo Ummah. We discuss the parlous state of the nationalist left, what a proletarian socialist politics might look like in the 21st century and what might possibly be conserved of the classical Marxist movement which died in the beginning of the last century. Along the way we bring up the morphing politics of identity, the uneasy cohabitation between left populism and Islamism in the UK, remigration as capitalist politics and how pre-politics might could get us out of this mess.

  6. Microfascist Machines w/ Jack Z. Bratich

    11/26/2025

    Microfascist Machines w/ Jack Z. Bratich

    Jack Z. Bratich chats about the concept of "microfascism," a term coined by Deleuze as part of their project of tracing “the genealogy and the permanence of certain fascist machineries” in order “to refuse to allow any fascist formula to slip by, on whatever scale it may manifest itself, including within the scale of the family or even within our own personal economy." Happy Thanksiving! The concept suggests that fascist impulses don't just come from "above" (authoritarian leaders) but can emerge from "below" in how people treat each other daily. Deleuze and Guattari believed everyone has some "fascist" potential—desires for domination, control, or submission. Bratich's work looks at the idea in the current context of MAGA, stochastic terrorism, and the manosphere.
