This past week, former Red Brigades member Leonardo Bertulazzi was arrested in Argentina after 40 years on the run. Prompted by this news, Jamie and Sam dive into the history of this Italian Revolutionary Marxist organization, which operated in various forms from the 1970s straight into the 2000s. From kidnappings to kneecappings, robberies to bombings, the Red Brigades operated at a high level of intensity for an impressively long time. What, if anything, can we learn from these heavy hitters? Can a look into their storied history be enough to turn Jamie into a Tankie? Find out in this week's bonus episode.

As promised, Jamie and Sam dive back into DNC '24 in all its splendor. Is AOC actually just a revolutionary communist sleeper cell waiting to take the throne before returning to her leftist roots? Is Obama still the smoothest talker around? Why did virtually no militants show up to throw down? And which of Jeffrey Epstein's besties took the stage at the Democrats' flagship event? Find out all of this and more on this week's episode of Party Girls.

Jamie went to a "Hegelian e-girl party" for the lulz and then people tweeted about her being there so now she has to set the record straight. You probably shouldn't listen to this.

The classic Party Girls lineup is back with a grab bag of an episode, covering such wide-ranging and relevant topics as: Miranda July's dirty new book, Minouche Shafik's resignation from her post as President of Columbia University, DSA's delusions of grandeur, and the student movement's toppling of the government in Bangladesh.

Our Silicon Valley overlords are not content with merely ruling the world; they want us to think they are doing it for the greater good. In this patrons-only bonus, Kate Willett and the Party Girls crew read and break down Silicon Valley capitalist Marc Andreessen's "Techno-Optimist Manifesto," which presents old school reactionary elitism in a stupid new package.

Jamie and Sam are joined by author and academic Adam Greenfield to discuss his new book Lifehouse: Taking Care Of Ourselves in a World On Fire, out now on Verso. In it, Greenfield makes a well-supported case that world governments will not be able to get a handle on climate change in time to stave off widespread catastrophe. He then examines past mutual aid efforts including Occupy Sandy in New York City, Common Grounds in post-Katrina New Orleans, post-austerity solidarity networks in Greece, and the programs of the Black Panther Party. In these moments, Greenfield identifies modes of solidarity and participatory democracy that might become the building blocks of a new society. In his final chapter, he sets forth a bold proposal for a confederated network of lifehouses...and that's most of what we talk about in this half!

Comedian and podcaster Kate Willett joins us for a wide-ranging discussion of the San Francisco tech milieu that anointed JD Vance as Donald Trump's VP pick. Unlike the old school robber barons, the tech capitalists of today want more than money; they want to be gods. Via labor arbitrage, political meddling, and even seemingly innocuous ideas like "smart cities," figures like Peter Thiel, Curtis Yarvin, David Sacks, and Bilaji Srinivasan seek to immiserate the average person, dismantle the government and bring about an anarcho-capitalist dystopia ruled by neo-feudal warlords. But hey, at least they're never going to beat the couch fucking charges.
