CONTENT WARNING: violence, war trains, choke sex, revisionism, does not pass Bechdel test
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Soviet Revolution, Russian state television created an 8-part miniseries on the life of Leon Trotsky in which he spends half the screen time violently fucking on a war train dressed like a revolutionary leather daddy. And that's the least revisionist aspect of this stunningly anti-Semitic and reactionary tour-de-force.
Alex Gendler, who grew up in the waning years of the USSR, puts this objet d'art into the context of Putin's neoliberal, authoritarian Russia while the rest of us ponder how one man could lay so much pipe and still have time to plot an entire revolution.
Outro - The O'Jays: Love Train

We leave it to our patrons to guess what picante takes we have on polyamory. Is it bourgeois decadence that serves only to aggrandize our tech bro overlords? Or is it a totally normal and fine life choice that haters should stfu about?

Friend, comrade, ex-pat and editor at Splinter News @sophcw emerges from the bush to join the crew.
We talk about the hell of moving in NYC, the migrant crisis down under, woke-ness in the Southern Hemisphere, indigenous rights and Aussie Antifa. We break out every tired cliche, of course, because Americans can't help reference boomerangs, kangaroos and based racism.
We end with a strong stan of Donald Trump's adoption of the Brezhenev Doctrine with regard to proletarian internationalism in the face of counter-revolution within 1970s-80s Afghanistan. Tankies for Trump?
Donald Trump/Caleb Maupin 2020!

The government: we all hate it. But what happens if it just decides to go away? Recently Jamie joked on the Majority Report that it would be cool. Others, like the anarchist collective Crimethinc, have argued this point in earnest. We read their article and point out some flaws in their reasoning. While we agree with their vision of a self-organized, stateless society, we have a long way to go.

We're joined by geographer and filmmaker Dr. Nerve V. Macaspac to talk about the history of the Philippines, its Maoist insurgency, and the rise of Rodrigo Duterte. We also talk Amazon, red-lining, Marxist geography, and Presidential foot fetishism. The last part of the episode is a discussion of Nerve's work on autonomous territories in Colombia, Mexico, and the Philippines that have earned some form of autonomy after decades of brutal armed struggle.
A long episode just too good to cut down! A 50th Anniversary of the foundation of the Filipino Communist Party spectacular!

The AntiFaPDA (That's Antifada + Pod Damn America, not a new anti-masturbation campaign) continues with our guest Alex Ptak and a deep dive into the depths of SJW Youtuber Marla Mae Fish! We defend Tim Burton and his goth babe characters from her bad liberal takes. Is this the foundation of an Internationalist Dark Web?
Enjoy Mary Mae Fish's YT account here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChBD4NpITiW2CzIz5GwppDA Then watch some Contrapoints instead

Comedian Alex Ptak (@ptakjokes) of Ballin' Out Super and fam-cast Pod Damn America popped into the studio for a free-wheeling exchange of ideas.
We confronted the most pressing issues of the day: How many radicalized Wine Moms will it take to bring on the rev? Now that Teen Vogue is anarchist and Penthouse is fash, which basic-ass mag will be the next to pivot? Why did Amazon think they could bring their subsidized helipad HQ to NYC with no consequences when this is a GODDAMN union town? And is Jonathan Chait the scabbiest scab who ever scabbed?
All this and an update on merch!
