I saw the Blackshirts and Reds ep on YouTube and had to listen to more. Absolute great content on theory and current geopolitics. The hosts are entertaining as well, keep up the great work, You Rule
Great pod for an intro to leftism

These guys are so fun to listen to! In my title, I say it’s a great pod for an intro, but honestly, they do such a great job breaking down complex, complicated, and difficult concepts, that it’s great for a more advanced listener too! The format of the podcast is really great - one of the hosts reads a work of theory and then presents it to the other host. It makes the audience feel like they’re a part of the conversation, because they’re learning, along side one of the hosts. The guys have a great rapport and the pod just vibes

Two decent dudes trying their best to consume, digest and translate theory to a young crowd. Very helpful and charming (despite the memes). But it’s all commie hogwash, 0/5
nice 👍

I listen on spotify, but love this podcast so much I had to come on here to say it. Very educational, and I definitely feel (as a beginner) that I know more about the society we live in, and what communism really is. You make theory sound so interesting I actually want to real it!
