  • Lacks Facts

    They jump from one clickbait headline to another top line stat devoid of any reasoning or facts that connect their points. “We hate bad people and this thing is also bad, therefore socialism is solution.” This is what living in a progressive echo chamber looks like.

  • Always my go-to listen

    This has got to be the best political podcast I listen to by far. Both guests and hosts provide incredibly sharp Marxist analyses of current events both in Australia and around the world, as well as drawing on history and practical action. A must listen for anyone left wing who wants to be politically informed.

Q: What do revolutionary socialists like yourself argue needs to happen next?
