    I just couldn't help myself... I know we're supposed to be continuing our study of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, but with shit poppin' off between the Canadian Government and the so-called "Trucker" Convoy, I had to make this episode a deep dive. I mean a DEEEEEP dive, this is a whopper of a 2.5 hour episode covering both the history of the Convoy Protest and the recently enacted Emergencies Act by PM Justin Trudeau, effectively suspending Canadians' Charter Rights across the country. ...... EPISODE NOTE: If you want to skip over the timeline of the protest and focus on analysis of the Emergencies Act jump to 1 Hour 45 Minutes. ...... Topics Covered in this Episode: 1. The Timeline "Trucker Convoy" 2. Shady Protest Leaders/Organizers 3. Who's Funding the Protest? & the GiveSendGo Hack 4. American Funding & Influence in the Protest 5. The Economic Impact of the Blockades 6. The Weapons Bust & Armed Protestors in Alberta 7. Analyzing the Emergencies Act 8. The Communist Party of Canada's Criticism of the Emergencies Act   We wrap up the episode with some things to think about like... What can we learn from the Canadian State's response to this major disruptive event? How would a Proletarian Government respond to foreign funded and supported protests based on misinformation?

    In this episode I analyze "The Integration of Theory and Practice: A Program for the New Traditionalist Movement" by Eric Heubeck, a "lost" essay written by the protege of a man some called the "Lenin of social conservatism", written in 2001 and seemingly wiped from the internet in 2006. I managed to track down a copy and analyze it to better understand the"New Traditionalist" strategy for theological revolution in the U.S.. I also compare three strategies seemingly taken from Marxist theory, that have been utilized successfully by the American Christian Right: 1. The Vanguard Party 2. Dual Power 3. The War of Position In my humble opinion, this is by far the best episode of this series, hope you enjoy!

In the first of our several part series on the reactionary force of American Evangelical Christianity, I take a look at Kristin Kobes Du Mez's book, Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation. We trace the development of Fundamentalist Protestantism into Modernist and Fundamentalist movements that evolved, coalesced, and diverged throughout WWI, WWII, and leading into the Cold War. Using Du Mez's fantastic work, I analyze how nationalism, patriarchy, capitalism, and white supremacy played important roles in this movement's early years, and how it continues to guide it into 2021.

    In this episode I read and analyze Stalin's Dialectical and Historical Materialism.   This work builds upon the discussion on Dialectical Materialism (D.M because I'm lazy) we had in Episode 8, ol' Joe does a good job presenting the ideas clearly, and using quotes from Marx, Engels, and Lenin to illustrate the core concepts of D.M. I've heard this is a great book to better grasp D.M as an analytical lens, especially for newcomers to the concept. It's very straightforward, the explanations use plain language, in fact Stalin actually provides his own notes in parenthesis to clarify certain obscure references and words. Further, the second half presents the application of D.M to society and the history of mankind, dubbed Historical Materialism. This is a very important concept and I think the writing and discussion breaks it down into easily understandable chunks. Usefully points out key points our research should focus on to understand the developmental forces of history.

    We return to Lenin's The State and Revolution and take a crack at Chapter 3. This was a great chapter, tons of concrete, clear, and realistic answers to many of the questions I've personally had on the transition from capitalism to socialism. Lenin calls out a bunch of liberals, social democrats, and opportunists and Marx reveals one secret for a "cheap government" that libertarians HATE! Lenin gives a concise answer to the question, "what is to replace the smashed state machine?"

    I take a swing at Dialectical Materialism, the philosophy and analytical method behind Marxism. I break down the concept into two parts; Materialism and Dialectics, then take a look at their historical development, contrast them against Idealism and Metaphysical Analysis, and apply them to some examples to help understand them in an approachable way. Warning: I am not trained in philosophy, so if you're looking for an expert, high-level discussion, I advise you to look elsewhere. If you're looking to join me on my journey to educate and develop my understanding of Marxism, then you've come to the right place!
