In the first ever episode of their new project "Everybody Loves Communism" — which just happens to be a crossover episode with The Antifada — Jamie Peck and Aaron Thorpe (Trillbilly Workers Party, A Time Of Monsters) delve into Marx and Engels' classic broadside "The Communist Manifesto" with the help of Sean KB. Stay tuned for parts 2 and 3, as well as for info on how to follow the show going forward!

Sean and Andy are joined by writer and cohost of the Low Culture Boil podcast, Rax King, (@raxkingisdead) for a dive into the world of food and food service. Our intrepid crew reports back about a local weird, nerd, comic book restaurant called Action Burger, then uses the opportunity to talk about the miserable conditions of workers in the industry. To round it out they discuss the amazing pamphlet by prole.info called "Abolish Restaurants" and discuss why we must do just that.

Virgil and the Antifada crew continue their discussion of this dark and lascivious tale, placing it in historical context vis-a-vis the rise of right-wing populism, the Hard Hat Riot of 1970 and a disturbingly similar murder committed after the film was shot but before it was released. Plus: racial dynamics, modern day analogs and a bonus-to-the-bonus review of the New York City Press Corp's abortive attempt at satirizing the youth of today.
