Ep 138: American Marxism with Noah Khrachvik
In this episode, I talk with Noah Khrachvik, a Marxist and co-director of the Midwestern Marx Institute. He explains the dialectics of Marxism and why true Marxists are inherently populist. He demonstrates that Marxism is different from both postmodernism and critical theory, and why the American left has sold out their principles. We then have a long discussion about the Federal reserve, the military-industrial complex, and the Covid regime where he explains why communists should be against all of them. We also discuss the chaotic 2024 election cycle and the future of the United States. There is a surprising amount...

Ep 107: Socialism as Explained by a Socialist with Erik (@AlphaclassARC)
In this episode I talk to Erik of @AlphaclassARC, who is a self-described Marxist from Sweden, about why he believes that socialism is the best way to organize an economy. In this wide-ranging conversation he defines socialism and Marxism, explains the problem with the left-right dichotomy in politics, argues for the success of socialist policies around the world, and criticizes organizations like the World Economic Forum. We also discuss our mutual opposition to American military imperialism and why many people around the world view US foreign policy with skepticism. This was a fun conversation and I know that you...

Kiko's Freethinker's Forum
Episode 54: Carlos Garrido talks Socialism, Cuba and The Purity Fetish and Crisis of Western Marxism
Carlos L. Garrido, author of the book The Purity Fetish and the Crisis of Western Marxism and co-founder of the Midwestern Marx Institute, joins the Forum to discuss his book's premise of the Western Marxist's "purity fetish" which dates back to the Eleatic school of Greek philosophy. Garrido argues that the goal should be to transition from a PMC (professional managerial class) Left to a working class centered left; moreover, he elaborates that there are already subjective and objective conditions that facilitate revolutionary potential.

Much Ado About PATSOCS: Finding a Better Way to Talk About Working Class Patriotism
The Patsocs are coming, the Patsocs are coming! There has been much fruitless discourse and claims of rising fascism among the keyboard proletarian vanguard about the problem of Social Patriotism.
