    Practicing Politics The Right Way w/ Crimethinc

    Jamie and Sam are joined by a member of the Crimethinc editorial collective to unpack Sam's viral hot take about agent provocateurs. Are there, as Hasan Piker and many others believe, FBI agents and other nefarious actors trying to escalate modern day protests into brick-throwing riots? Or is this a conspiracy theory that serves only counter-insurgent purposes? Our guest helps us separate fact from fiction. ALSO: Sam gives a reportback from his recent trip to Minneapolis, and Jamie gives a brief history of COINTELPRO and COINTELPRO-adjacent ops. Read Crimethinc, it's good: https://crimethinc.com/ Folks in the LA area check out Jamie's IRL comedy show w/ Jake Flores, Tony Boswell, and other special guests!

    ICE, Pigs, Murderers: Prelude To A New Civil War?

    Jamie and Sam discuss ICE's cold-blooded murder of 37-year-old mother of three Renee Nicole Good last week in Minneapolis: how it went down, who she was, and details on the pig who killed her. ICE as pathetic losers trying desperately to assert their fragile masculinity. Some of the other people ICE has killed. The responses from the Democrats and Republicans, the robust response from protesters, and why this is not the time for performative identity politics. Is America headed for a new Civil War, and is civil war necessary for revolution? Plus: Some constructive criticism for Hasan Piker.

    Imperialism, The Highest Stage Of Trumpism

    The PG crew is back together and boy, is there news to discuss. Jamie and Sam unpack the Trump administration's brazen kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela and his wife, Cilia Flores: the news from over the weekend, the political context, new president Delcy Rodríguez, the responses from various quarters, the politics of dancing, and the petty reason Trump didn't install opposition leader María Corina Machado. Is "The Donroe Doctrine" the most postmodern thing ever invented by a dying empire as it frantically thrashes about? How should anti-state partisans orient ourselves towards moments like these? What will become of the radical, bottom-up experiments of Venezuela's communes? And what, if anything, is to be done? Note: this episode was recorded before ICE's murder of Renee Good in Minneapolis Geo Maher's book that Jamie mentioned: Building the Commune: Radical Democracy in Venezuela SIGN UP NOW at https://patreon.com/partygirls to get all of our bonus content, Discord access, and a shout out on the pod!

    CULTURAL MARXISM: Scrooged (1988) w/ Jake Flores

    Jamie welcomes the illustrious Jake Flores to the program to discuss Richard Donner's very eighties take on A Christmas Carol, 'Scrooged' (1988). In this modern retelling, Bill Murray stars as Frank Cross, a selfish and greedy TV executive who cares only for his bottom line, until he is visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve, who...you know the drill. We discuss the movie's insanely stacked cast (Bobcat Goldthwait, Carol Kane, David Johansen of the New York Dolls!), its take on corporate media, and its political message. Is A Christmas Carol revolutionary, or merely reformist? Plus: What our boy Marx thought of Charles Dickens.

    A Chill, Lowkey Episode

    Jamie is having a comically bad month and the news is grim. Please indulge the Party Girls in a chill, lowkey episode where they examine a number of human interest stories, including: the meaning of Christmas, the Pisces Co-worker, the anti-sharing movement, MFs getting tattoos under anesthesia, and Jamie's page on Canary Mission, which links to her Onlyfans. They also read and reply to some listener comments for their new "mailbag" segment and say a few words about Asad Haider.

    CULTURAL MARXISM: Bugonia (2025) w/ Bryan Quinby (PREVIEW)

    Jamie is joined by Bryan Quinby, formerly of Street Fight Radio and currently of Guys: With Bryan Quinby, to discuss Yorgos Lanthimos' latest piece of wackypants cinema. In this remake of the 2003 Korean film "Save the Green Planet," a wingnut named Teddy (Jesse Plemons) kidnaps girlboss big pharma CEO Michelle Fuller (Emma Stone) because he thinks she's an alien who's killing the bees. Themes of paranoia, atomization, niche internet culture, and...Stav?! Bryan uses his PhD in guy-ology to determine what kind of guy Teddy is.

    Luigi Mangione: One Year Later

    Exactly one year after the killing of United "Healthcare" CEO Brian Thompson, the PG crew looks back on one year of Luigi Mangione. They recap what's happened in the case so far, shout out Luigi's biggest supporters, and give updates on what's happening in Luigi's trio of court dates this week. At issue is the evidence police collected from Luigi's backpack upon his arrest in Altoona, PA, which the defense is moving to have excluded because the police did not read him his Miranda rights as required by law. The crew also announces an exciting new project from the December 4th Legal Committee, namely, a book! Depose: Luigi Mangione and the Right to Health, due out this coming May from Ill Will Editions, examines the public reaction to Luigi Mangione's alleged crime, placing it within the great western tradition of tyrannicide (the killing of a tyrant) and laying out a roadmap for how Americans could use this as a jumping off point to create a mass movement to guarantee everyone the right to health, once and for all. The lion's share of the royalties will be split between the Luigi Mangione Legal Defense Fund and other health justice projects.
