Nothing better than nazis calling you a fascist! Brain rot podcast at it's best
don’t people have manners?
I so enjoyed listening to your interview with Kim Stanley Robinson! Thank you!!
These guys are really ignorant about actual history and culture. I’m not really against their politics but they speak really authoritatively about things they clearly don’t understand at all. It’s not flattering
Thanks for all the podcasts y’all put out. I learn so much about communism. Especially enjoyed the Toontown story.
You and RevLeft are the best!
