  • Insightful interviewer

    Matthew is such a thoughtful interviewer. His questions are often informed by the previous answer of the guest. This creates a thread of logic through the entire interview that brings out unexpected insights. Would thoroughly recommend.

  • Soy cuck runs wild.

    (((Remski))) throws around word salad NewSpeak for cultural Marxists and offers a bland communist version of Yoga and spirituality. A podcast to laugh at!

  • Terrific resource in troubled times

    We're living in massively unsettled times with oversimplified solutions on offer everywhere you listen. Matthew Remski's coverage here is more in-depth and careful than what you'll find on most podcasts. He manages to sound clarion moral calls without sounding preachy or dour. People might be surprised to find an anti-fascist voice so deeply saturated by kindness, but Remski seems to be fighting fascism precisely because he hopes for a kinder world. Just like so many anti-fascists ultimately do.... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

30. Another Conspiracy Theory about Marxists w/ Richard Gilman-Opalsky
Q: Why does Rockhill argue that Western Marxism is compromised by state influences?
Rockhill contends that key theorists were funded or positioned by state or elite institutions, which he claims redirected revolutionary energy into cultural critique, thereby stabilizing capitalism and fragmenting the left.
30. Another Conspiracy Theory about Marxists w/ Richard Gilman-Opalsky
Q: What is the Frankfurt School's historical contribution to critical theory?
They provided a multifaceted critique combining Marxist analysis with psychoanalysis and culture studies to understand how mass media and technology shape social change, while tracing the fraught path from revolution to liberal capitalism and the risks of fascism.
35. Antifascist Tooth Fairy w/ E.V. Debs
Q: Why use a game format to teach about state power and antifascism rather than a narrative or documentary approach?
The guest argues that a game allows people to exercise agency, make decisions, and test ideas without real-world risk, serving as a practical training ground for understanding power dynamics and how to respond in real life.
35. Antifascist Tooth Fairy w/ E.V. Debs
Q: In talking about your game, what on the ground in real life experiences have been most impactful for you in informing the ideas and values behind it?
Debs explains that personal experiences with rising violence during protests and attacks in Seattle inspired a game focused on community defense, mutual aid, and strategic, nonviolent resistance when possible, while acknowledging the realities of legal risk and the need for de-escalation.
31. Voices of Kensington will Ring in Ottawa w/Serena Purdy
Q: What role does the federal government play in health care compared to provincial responsibilities, and how do you communicate this to voters?
She stresses that despite shared responsibilities, the federal government bears obligations under the Canada Health Act and needs to enforce and harmonize policies across provinces, framing this as essential to real improvements in public health for Canadians.
