The Left Opposition Podcast The Left Opposition Podcast

We catch up with our good MAGA communist friends to see what they're up to, where one of them likes a Nazi Fancam on Twitter, Alex Jones has to liquidate InfoWars to pay off his settlement with the Sandy Hook families, and the launch of the Freedom Institute for A Free American Freedom led by a coalition of Infrared, Midwestern Marx and Jackson Hinkle. AOC platforms some renowned Zionists to combat anti-semitism. That expensive pier was used in a raid that killed 270 people while rescuing 4 well fed and taken care of hostages, while a shocking new report comes from an Israeli prison and treatment of palestinian prisoners. We close off discussing the 34th anniversary of Thomas Sankara's assasination and his legacy in Burkina Faso.

Tonight's episode was nearly cancelled due to allergies but thankfully Chris, Joe and Matt stepped up and banged out a solid episode with my congested ass occasionally weighing in. No Doug this week as he is focusing on some articles and putting the finishing touches on his new book coming this summer!

On the program we discuss American democracy, how much of a sham it is, why Trump's conviction doesn't really mean much, and in contradiction: exploring two Marxists participating in bourgeois elections, including Fiona Lali in the UK. We also get into the death of Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi and why his death should not be mourned by genuine leftists, but is bizarrely mourned by the MAGAcoms.

Included is audio of street interviews by comrade Alex Steinberg, their writings can be found here

Apologies comrades, we recorded this just after May 1st of this year, and due to a number of family issues, world events that demanded our participation in the streets, and technical issues, I finally found time to salvage and fix this episode.

In this episode we have a conversation with some comrades over at Independent Socialist Group. We go over their various takes and positions on world events and circumstances. This will be an ongoing series of interviews with comrades from different organizations. If you'd like your org featured on the podcast, reach out to us and we can schedule an interview!

It's the Haz episode! We go over some classic clips but more importantly we take a dive into the theory behind MAGA communism as it pertains to the working class, Trumpism, as well as its relationship to previously similar movements like Strasserism, Larouchism, etc.... where these mass movements of people with socialist aesthetics become anti-communist setbacks. What Haz essentially is pushing for is a Mass line tailored to the right wing petty bourgeois elements of the United States: your small business owner types which was primarily Trump's base of support. This really more speaks to a failure of the Left and of the CPUSA to unite and build the working class uprising to take power for itself.

Haz and Hinkle kicked off campus and whine about it. Fetterman and the NYPD are liars.

Chris and Aaron back with a news episode, discussing May Day, Marx's birthday, and Soviet Victory day, and connecting the workers movement with the student encampments for a Free Palestine and the qualitative differences the new movement has from older events like Occupy and the George Floyd uprising. Needless to say, the kids are alright.

Next we look at the incident at Emory University where Haz gave a dumb speech capped by screaming at students booing him for defending Jackson Hinkle. Jon Fetterman lies about students demands while the NYPD goes to a library for the first time. Biden says there is no red line for Israel.

The lads open with another bizarre conversation between recurring characters Alex Jones and Jackson Hinkle analyzing the Trotskyist movement in America which led to us reading out an argument between Noah from Midwestern Marx and some actual Trotskyist comrades in the replies. We then talk seriously about the ongoing encampments popping up on campuses across the United States opposing genocide, with some fresh hot takes coming from Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi and her former protege Caleb Maupin. We also discuss the attempts by zionist propagandists to portray the student protests as violent only for it to backfire in their faces.

If you are a student involved on campus protests, feel free to reach out to us, theleftoppositionpodcast@gmail.com if you'd like to be interviewed!

Solidarity with the students on campus! For a revolutionary intifada!

End music, sung by the students at Columbia University joined by Pete Seeger's "We Shall Not Be Moved"
