  • Feedback for audio production

    Hi comrades! Amazing content as usual! Just wanted to give some feedback about the audio production. The level is noticeably lower than other shows, making it very difficult to hear even when my headphone volume is all the way up while out commuting. Can you please ask whichever comrade is doing the mastering on these episodes to increase the output level?

  • A very clear explanation and exploration of the nature and history of capitalism here and abroad. Lenin was presient in his writings on the Imperialist nature of International capitalism and it's homicidal endgame of world war. Solidarity from a Revolutionary Communist living in the belly of the beast.

  • Must listen for Canadian Comrades!

    Currently one of the best socialist podcasts available, the shows are always interesting with accurate analysis of Canadian current events. “This Week in the Canadian Revolution” was an excellent addition to your lineup! I definitely agree with the other critique, you desperately need to improve the audio quality, it is tolerable, but if you want to be shared more widely it needs to be better.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NDP leadership race begins with a whimper
Q: How did the first debate of the NDP leadership race go?
It was disappointing and not serious, lacking critical discussion of key political issues, leaving many feeling disconnected from the reality of Canadian politics.
Operation Solidarity
Q: What did the leaders of Operation Solidarity do as the movement gained momentum?
The leaders shifted tactics to petitions and education campaigns, which was seen as a step backward and caused discontent among the rank and file workers who wanted to escalate their actions towards a general strike.
Why communists oppose NATO
Q: What do Communists have to say about the war in Ukraine?
The conflict is seen as an inter-imperialist struggle, where both sides are fighting for control, and it was provoked by NATO's expansionism.
Why communists oppose NATO
Q: What is NATO in the first place?
NATO is officially portrayed as a defensive alliance, but in reality, it is the largest imperialist alliance consisting of the most powerful countries, aimed at maintaining dominance and preventing the influence of rival powers like the USSR and now Russia.
We need a Revolutionary Communist Newspaper
Q: How can this paper be a tool for building the party?
