    I'm antifa supersoldier Clay Links, and today's pod is the longest pod of my life... For a change, Seb performs a stilted & inaccurate introduction, including a claim that the boys would talk about Eric Blair aka George Orwell. SPOILER: They didn't. After this inauspicious start, our comrades discuss the electoral developments in Ecuador including an attempted smear against Arauz rumbled by attentive ornithologists. Kev likens this to a bizarre incident involving the feet of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The lads then move on to the Berkian's take on a timely new political alliance aimed at fighting the far-right in Ireland, before enjoying a similarly unhinged pseudo-psychiatric 'analysis' of German antifa by Ground magazine. Kev exercises admirable restraint in relating the former, whereas Seb chews the scenery as he reads from the latter. The pair decide to take a peek at personal website of the Ground writer, which is an appropriately peculiar place... Leipzig Polizei's decision to target antifa rather than actual 'fa' is the next bone of contention, after which there is a basic overview of the recent Gamestop stock market incident.

    Greetings comrades! The leftie lads turn their gaze to Latin America where the Bolivian victory against fascism may have heralded a new dawn in anti-imperialist government across the continent. A brief spell in which the pair wonder who the American Empire will target next ensues, before the fate of Corbyn is compared to that of Harry Perkins in Chris Mullin's prescient novel of 1982. An Garda Síochána's complicity in the brutal treatment meted out to Palestinians by Israel is examined, the UK's total failure to seize the opportunity provided by the European Project gets a mention, and the question of Russian democracy raises its head once again. Antifa International round things off with the 4th of their annual reports on far-right violence around the globe, after which the chat dissolves into making fun of a certain crackpot running for Mayor of London...

Around 30mins we revisit gript.ie, the news without the liberal filter: We examine a bizarre article about the "wall of moms" from a sketchy dude gript published. Then a self-defeating racial animus article which Kev struggles to read because of an entire lack of copyediting. Seb delivers excellent advice when thinking about immigration; imagine a stadium. Anniversaries! The Tambov Rebellion, the left-wing agrarian rebellion against the Bolsheviks.

But its, a shitty right, centre, centre green coalition, you will care less than the boys by the time your finished listening to their analysis. The comrades reflect on previous episodes and the continuing collapse of the liberal order.

Black lives do not matter to the mainstream US media now that corona has returned. An Irish News Magazine programme decided to examine the rising Ultra Nationalism in Ireland, and failed to contact the Clay Links boys. So, in an act of vengence, they take the piss out of the programme as another example of how the liberal media promotes and platforms fascism without criticism. Listen in around minute 40. Shout out to the the-Beacon.ie and their great reporting. The boys analyse rising racism, particularly against Ireland's native ethnic minority, Travelers/Minceir. Shout out to Dr. Sindy Joyce (@sindyljoyce) on twitter to learn more. Seb recommends a movie on Netflix about Cubans in the US "Wasp Network" and they discuss some old CIA schemes, false flags, nothing relevant to the current paradigm. Finally, the seminal anti fascist work of 1980, The Blues Brothers, a favourite of the Clay Links Comrades. Enjoy wonderful clips from the movie along with light hearted discussion.

The pair then briefly fantasise about the potential introduction of a feast day to forever celebrate Maggie Thatcher's passing. Seb brings us fascinating tales from history, starting with the operation a correspondent of the New York Times called "the most wonderful ever carried out by one army in another country"; when France invaded Germany in 1920 because the Reichswehr had marched into the Ruhr to crush a left-wing uprising. Thus did one of the many opportunities for German fascism to be strangled in the cradle go begging. *Content Warning for Misophoniacs : Kev was chewing gum during the podcast, he has no manners * // the number 15 // Kev is a fact Slider! // from 5g to wet markets // no more crossover episodes // Corona-spiracy Theories // phony doctors! // greed is the EXPLANATION // welcome to the normiesphere! // Celebs getting on board with the madness //philanthropist...or ILLUMINATI?! // trust the lying liar who lies // political centri-fugue // Sebsplaining the truth // War of the Worlds // antifa == sharia law // the end of Gunboat Diplomacy // the many types of fascism // "I thought we were already doing Fashwatch" // Hungarian Enabling Act // LGBT often the first target of fascists // state-permitted violence // strongly-worded EeeePeePeee // far-right...but pro-EU? // Burn Bojo & Maggie in effigy // there was never an NHS... // History Lesson: The Ruhr Red Army // France invades Germany // Millerand wusses out // Facepalm of Nations // the Right can be as divided as the Left // Lessons in Fascism // Colombian military coup // hang up your anti-electorism hat // left uniting in struggle for bare minimum // brazen kneecapping by centrist establishment // don't go back to normal // Spain doing UBI // "I'm alright, Jack" // Screw you, got mine! // Bismarck & the welfare state // no way to predict long-term impact of small variables // Antifa SuperSoldiers from History! // Belsen-Buchenwald's Bartel // building radios in concentration camps // Wired article that catalogues some of the conspiracy theories around coronavirus https://www.wired.co.uk/article/5g-coronavirus-conspiracy-theory Further information on the Ruhr Red Army Uprising https://www.marxists.org/subject/germany-1918-23/dauve-authier/ch12.htm PSOE & Podemos coalition looking into Universal Basic Income https://www.thelocal.es/20200407/spain-plans-universal-basic-income-to-cope-with-coronavirus-crisis Music: Oh!

    On the day that Bernie ended his Quixotic tilt at the U.S. Presidency, we take the opportunity to highlight some of the more glaring flaws with the American political system...but not with our own words. Instead, we have sourced quotes from the likes of Gore Vidal & Michael Parenti, to give real scope to the notion that the electoral system of the United States is totally dysfunctional. At least, if the idea of this so-called 'representative democracy' is to be in any way democratic, or representative.
