Get access to The Backroom (80+ exclusive episodes) on Patreon.com/onedimeIn this episode of 1Dime Radio, I have an in-depth discussion with Ross Wolfe about neo-Stalinism. We examine the influence of Domenico Losurdo, and how his work relates to a niche defence of Marxism-Leninism. We take up the concepts of state power and revolution, and how the history of liberalism is often misinterpreted by modern activists. In the Backroom on Patreon, Ross Wolfe and I explore just what is “Western Marxism.” Is there a widely agreed upon definition? To do this, Wolfe and I have to unpack its origins, and the polemics by Losurdo, Gabriel Rockhill and others. We try to pin down the line between socialistic critique of capitalism, and simple anti-Western sentiment.TimeStamps: 00:00 Losurdo and Rockhill The (Backroom Sneak Peek) 03:48 Critique of Neo-Stalinism and Marxism-Leninism 06:29 The Influence of Dominico Losurdo 47:23 Historical Inaccuracies in Losurdo's Work 51:14 Trotsky's Legacy and Stalin's Tactics 01:01:21 Debating Marxism, Communism, and State PowerGuest (Ross Wolfee): X/Twitter: https://x.com/rosswolfe?lang=enFind His Articles on Losurdo here: https://thecharnelhouse.org/author/rosslaurencewolfe/FOLLOW 1Dime: • Substack (Articles and Essays): https://substack.com/@tonyof1dime • X/Twitter: https://x.com/1DimeOfficial • Instagram: / tonyof1dime• Check out my main channel videos: / @1dimeeOutro Music by Karl Casey.

For years, palace insiders whispered that Prince Andrew harbored ambitions far beyond his station and that he quietly maneuvered to keep Charles from ever reaching the throne. According to these rumors, Andrew believed that Charles was unfit to reign and that the monarchy would be better served—meaning more tightly controlled—if the succession somehow skipped the heir and went directly to Andrew's preferred candidate: Prince William. These accounts painted Andrew as a behind-the-curtain operator, leveraging his mother's affection, exploiting internal rivalries, and feeding narratives that Charles lacked the temperament and stability to lead. None of it was overt, of course. Andrew was said to work in nods, whispers, and subtle pressure campaigns, all designed to chip away at Charles's inevitability.The speculation grew particularly intense during Queen Elizabeth II's later years, when Andrew—despite his spiraling scandals—seemed to position himself as a gatekeeper around his mother. Rumor had it he tried to control access, influence her perception of Charles, and push the idea that the monarchy's public image would recover faster under a younger, fresher sovereign. The irony was brutal: here was a man drowning in the Epstein scandal allegedly trying to steer the future of the Crown as if anyone still saw him as credible. In the end, the whispers amounted to nothing; Charles ascended, Andrew collapsed, and the schemes attributed to him now read like the last gasps of a fading prince who wildly overestimated both his pull and his relevance.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Winner of the Studs and Ida Terkel Prize A groundbreaking look at how ordinary people are fighting back against their local and state governments to keep their communities safe, by an award-winning journalist Most Americans are likely to encounter the effects of government malfeasance or neglect close to home—from their governors, mayors, town councils, school boards, police, and prosecutors. In fact, deals shrouded in darkness are regularly made at the state and local levels, often the result of closed-door discussions between governments and industry without any scrutiny whatsoever from the public. Too often, as this groundbreaking new work of investigative reporting reveals, residents are intentionally kept on the outside, struggling to get information about significant issues affecting their communities—from car crashes and dirty drinking water, to failing safety gear—until the backroom deals are done and it's too late to challenge them. A work of riveting narrative nonfiction based on years of original reporting, Backroom Deals in Our Backyards: How Government Secrecy Harms Our Communities and the Local Heroes Fighting Back (The New Press, 2025) tells the story of five “accidental activists”—people from across the United States who started questioning why their local and state governments didn't protect them from issues facing their communities and why there was a frightening lack of transparency surrounding the way these issues were resolved. The secret deals, lies, and corruption they uncover shake their faith in government but move them to action.

Is Marxism-Leninism a failed ideology—or are critics misreading its history and aims? Most of all, we DEBATE the history of Communism (Marxist-Leninist governments like USSR, China, Cuba, and Vietnam), and whether the paths communists took were "inevitable." In The Backroom (on Patreon), Conrad and I continue the debate on the history of Marxism-Leninism, where things get... a bit heated (in a comradely way).

It's October again and Andre and Steve and here to tackle another spoopy classic, this time in the form of Sleepy Hollow, the 1999 Tim Burton-directed horror/thriller starring Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci. But why doesn't Sleepy Hollow enjoy the same reverance as other Burton/Depp collaborations? We set off to 1799 New York to find the answer.

We break down Trump's Gaza plan: what it is, which countries are involved and what incentives they have (Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United States), and whether Israel will actually abide by it. We then weigh the pros and cons and tackle the long-term question re: What would be a better resolution to the Israel-Palestine Conflict—a two-state solution or a one-state solution? How would either work? Is it realistic over the long run, and what would it take to get there?In The Backroom (on Patreon), Benjamin and I have a nuanced discussion on immigration—what the left gets wrong, and what leftists & liberals don't understand about the rise of the far-right in Europe.

Tune-in as Evan Lazar and Alex Barth talk the Patriots Week 5 divisional win over the Buffalo Bills. They breakdown the night's connection between Drake Maye and Stefon Diggs, and its fit for the past two week inside the Josh McDaniels offense. They discuss pass protection, run stuffing, and the secondary. Plus, they discuss what Antonio Gibson's injury means for the RB room and possible remedies including free agency, practice squad elevations and more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Segment - Rhamondre Stevenson has fumbled three times and Antonio Gibson just suffered a season-ending injury. Is TreVeyon Henderson in line to step up?

Ep. 930 - No James Conner. And now no Trey Benson. The running back room has taken another hit, and a significant one at that. The role of RB1 will now be played by Emari Demercado, Michael Carter, and Bam Knight. And it may just take all three. Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck discuss where the Cardinals go from here, who might be asked to carry the load and whether the run game - slow to get going through four games - may look a little different minus Conner and Benson. Also, Craig and Dani react to what Marvin Harrison Jr. had to say speaking to reporters on Wednesday. We had not heard from Harrison since his fourth-quarter performance against the Seahawks. Did something finally click? Let's hope so.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
