Today On The Eric Metaxas Show, Pastor Erwin Lutzer joins Eric to discuss his new book Marx and Moody: Two Contemporaries, Two Gospels, Two Tombstones. Lutzer explores Karl Marx's writings about Satan, hell, revolution, religion, family, private property, and the ideas behind the Communist Manifesto. He contrasts Marx with evangelist D.L. Moody, whose Christian preaching reached enormous audiences in Britain and America, and examines why the battle between Marxism and Christianity remains relevant today.⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World

We live in a moment when the working class is fractured along a great many lines. Gone are the days of solidarity built around a shared experience of factory work that formed the bedrock of Karl Marx's analysis of class struggle – and his vision of emancipation. Meanwhile in the halls of power, elites in our politics have failed for decades now to really grasp what people in Britain care about and need – resorting to lame stand-ins such as ‘Mondeo man' and ‘Stevenage woman', Farage's new favourite: ‘alarm clock Britain'. What are they missing? Lived experience, apart from anything else. On Downstream this week, Ash Sarkar sat down with campaigner and author Jonas Patrick Marvin to discuss his new book ‘The Breaking of the English Working Class'. Weaving autobiographical detail with political theory, Marvin tackles head-on the class forces that have shaped his own life. Why can't people born in London afford to stay and build lives there? Who gets to define themselves as working class, and on what grounds? How should the left respond to rising anti-immigration politics? Why has the working class become so fragmented, and what can be done to repair it?

Episode 5602: One On One with Ed Martin; Fredrick Douglass vs. Karl Marx
125 Millionen Euro für Yan Diomande, 55 Millionen Euro für Said El Mala und so weiter. Angesichts der Mondpreise, die heuer widerstandslos für Fußballspieler abgedrückt werden, die just dem Stimmbruch entronnen sind, werfen die erzkonservativen Rückfallzieher unter Meigls Federführung einen Blick aufs Jahr 1976, als nach dem Sündenfall, dem ersten Eine-Million-D-Mark-Transfer der Bundesliga, noch wahrhaftige gesellschaftliche Erregung im Spiel war, der Sittenverfall im Kicker (West) und der Fußballwoche (Ost) heiß diskutiert wurde, Klein-Guidos Zeugnis in der Rüsselsheimer Albrecht-Dürer-Schule wegweisende Züge hatte („Guido schreibt entweder ab oder am Thema vorbei“) und Klein-Meigl die Pausen nutzte, um die Tafel im Klassenzimmer der Leibnitz-Schule um ein „Nur die BSG!“ zu bereichern. Meigl, der 1976 Bestnoten im Schulgarten-Unterricht hatte, nimmt Guido, der 1976 gut in Leibesübungen war, mit auf eine sozialkritische Zeitreise. Von 1976 und einem Stürmer, der allen Ernstes Roger van Gool hieß und eine Ablöse-Schallmauer pulverisierte, bis ins Jahr 2026, in dem RB Leipzig kurz davor ist, das Hundertfache der van Goolschen Mörderkohle für einen 19-jährigen Kölner namens Said El Mala zu zahlen. Meigls Monolog handelt von Sein und Nichtsein, von einem funktionierenden Wertekanon, von Rückgrat, von Jimmy Carter, der 1976 gegen Gerald Ford gewinnt und als US-Präsident keinen einzigen Krieg beginnt, von Erich Honecker, der 1976 Willi Stoph beerbt, um einen Lampenladen zu eröffnen, von Uli Hoeneß, der 1976 einen Elfer in den Belgrader Nachthimmel jodelt. Als Guidos Glubschen zufallen, kommt Meigl, der unendliche Einlaufkurven liebt, endlich auf die Zielgerade. „1976 holte der 1. FC Köln aus Brügge einen Fußballer, der eine Million D-Mark Ablöse gekostet hat“, beklagt Meigl den imperialen und stilbildenden 76er Rekordtransfer. „Das, Güüdooo, war der Anfang vom Ende des ehrlichen Fußballs! Für eine Million Westmark hätte ganz Leipzig nie mehr Blauen Würger trinken müssen!“ Beim Kauf von zwei Flaschen Kristall Wodka gab es einen Blindenhund gratis. „Und dann“, Meigl ist auf 180, „hieß dieser Millionen-Stürmer von drüben auch noch Roger van Gool. Wolltet ihr uns verarschen? Warum nicht gleich Toni de Tor? Anständige Fußballer heißen Bernd Bauchspieß, Henning Frenzel oder Hansi Leitzke!“ Über 50 Millionen Euro für El Mala? Meigl: „Das ist nicht mehr mein Fußball.“ Nach Guidos tröstenden Worten („Deine Chemiker haben weder Geld noch Erfolg, das ist purer Fußball, Meigl!“) nimmt Journalisten-Legende Pit Gottschalk die Themen Kommerz, Telekom Cup, RB-Leitplanken, Eintracht Trier und dies und das geistreich volley. Nur mal so: Vor vielen Monden wurde der einst zart besaitete Mainzer Jung-Stürmer Guido im Moselstadion zu Trier von grobschlächtigen Gastgebern, die oben rum Bärte wie Karl Marx und unten rum spitz zugeteilte Alustollen trugen, zum Mann gegrätscht. Präsentiert werden die Rückfallzieher von Gold for Leipzig - powered by der lieblichen L-Gruppe. Der Leipziger Vorort Berlin würde gerne olympisch werden. 2036, 2040 oder 2044. Das funzt nur, wenn Co-Ausrichter Leipzig den olympischen Funken weltweit überspringen lässt. Die minütlich wachsende Bürgerinitiative Gold for Leipzig will mitreißen, inspirieren, hat unter anderem die Aktion „Deine Stimme für Olympia“ geboren. Bis zum 26. September sollen 10000 Stimmen her. Grund: An jenem 26. entscheidet der Deutsche Olympische Sportbund (DOSB), welche deutsche Bewerber ins olympische Rennen geschickt werden.
A man disguised as a peddler stands on the bank of the Yangtze watching a British fleet go past, and tries to hitch a ride to Nanjing. He's been trying to reach the rebel capital for 6 years now, and this is the closest he's gotten. He's told “no” … again. So he picks himself up once more and just keeps walking.

How did concepts like Critical Race Theory, Queer Theory, and Social Emotional Learning (SEL) move from fringe academic circles into our schools, corporations, and government?In this powerful episode of Keeping It Real, Jillian Michaels sits down with mathematician, author, and founder of New Discourses, Dr. James Lindsay. Co-author of Cynical Theories and mastermind behind the famous Grievance Studies Affair, James breaks down the 175-year evolution of left-wing political philosophy—from Karl Marx and Western Marxism to Postmodernism and modern identity politics.Together, they explore how identity politics are used to dismantle objective truth, how "gain of function" ideological tactics target the education system, and what everyday citizens can do to reclaim institutions, protect their minds, and safeguard Western values.

The CEO of PragerU flagged it and Justin and Jesse ran it down: "adultism" is the newest critical theory movement, and it is currently being trained into educators at universities by a consulting firm that cannot run its own company according to its own principles. The idea is straightforward — adults oppress children by doing things like setting rules, making curriculum choices, and sometimes hugging them without asking first. Justin and Jesse trace the whole framework from Movement Consulting's anti-capitalist university trainings through a real April 2026 session at a San Francisco high school that explicitly labeled teachers as oppressors and students as the oppressed — and then explain where the "bodily autonomy for children" argument terminates, because that endpoint is not subtle. They also cover Karl Marx's actual family history (it is not good), the John Adams HBO scene about a drunk son that has more to say about parenting than any critical theory article, and why the church needs to be louder about this specifically. If you've ever had someone tell you that talking down to your child is oppression, this episode is the response.

Narrated by Andy Garcia. At the turn of the century until the 1930s in the cigar factories of Tampa and Ybor City, a well dressed man in a panama hat with a loud and beautiful voice sat atop a platform and read to the cigar workers as they rolled. These readers, known as Lectores de Tabaqueres, read Cervantes, Zola, Victor Hugo, Karl Marx, Jules Verne…. It was the voices and words of these lectores, before radio and mechanization, who informed, organized, and incited the cigar workers, who labored by hand until the 1930s, when both the rollers and readers were replaced by mechanization. A lost tradition of story and smoke.From the Lost & Found Sound series on NPR. Produced by The Kitchen Sisters (Davia Nelson & Nikki Silva) and Jay Allison. The Kitchen Sisters Present is part of Radiotopia from PRX.
The real crisis isn't the Declaration—it's what we've stopped teaching. Peter Berkowitz, Tad and Dianne Taube Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, contends that universities have failed at liberal education—the cultivation of citizens prepared to exercise freedom and responsibility. He attributes the breakdown to politicized classrooms, overreliance on narrow “scientistic” approaches in the social sciences, and a professional culture that trains future scholars instead of educating future citizens—leaving graduates with little serious exposure to the Declaration, the Constitution, and the moral logic of self-government. Stephen Haber, Stanford Professor of Political Science, History, and Economics, presses the discussion toward causes and incentives, setting up a debate about who is responsible for the drift and what reforms could realistically restore civic learning.

Why did one of the most famous and ambitious philosophers in European history fall completely out of favor in just a few decades, and why is his totalizing view of reality still relevant today? Northwestern University's associate professor of philosophy and president of the Hegel Society of America, Dr. Mark Alznauer, joins host PJ Wehry to discuss the breathtaking scope and historical impact of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Dr. Alznauer explores Hegel's attempt to map the entire cosmos, human civilization, and religion from a single logical concept in his book, Hegel's Sole Idea: The Last Great Metaphysical System. They examine how Hegel's "encyclopedia system" served as the last grand metaphysical project in Western thought, why his immediate successors violently rejected it, and how his legacy continues to shape our modern historical awareness. In this conversation they explore: Why Hegel's system is comparable to monumental literary works like Dante's Divine Comedy or Tolstoy's War and Peace in its attempt to provide a comprehensive, organized worldview. The provocative way Hegel positioned his philosophy as the "Holy Spirit," claiming it could conceptually prove the theological truths that Christianity only provided in pictures or representations. The swift collapse of Hegel's reputation after his death in 1831, leading to the deep divide between the Right and Left Hegelians, including the materialist critiques of Ludwig Feuerbach and Karl Marx. Søren Kierkegaard's fierce rejection of Hegel's objective system, arguing that true Christianity requires a passionate, existential decision rather than cold, speculative contemplation. How Hegel's philosophy of history—arguing that human epochs unfold with internal, logical necessity toward freedom—differs radically from the contingent, sociological explanations we rely on today. The neo-Hegelian influence on Francis Fukuyama's "End of History," and how questioning the ultimate direction of political history remains deeply relevant as our democratic landscapes continue to evolve. This is a conversation for anyone interested in philosophy, history, and theology who wants to understand the dizzying ambition of the last great metaphysical system and the profound ways its failure shaped the modern intellectual landscape.

Even Van Jones, who has spent years trying to translate progressive ideas into something normal people can digest, finally threw up his hands. He basically said the far Left had turned progressivism into performance art. His description was unforgettable. He said they were "pooping in the Kool-Aid bowl and telling us the turds are ice cubes." Now that's not Kevin Jackson. That's Van Jones. I've heard political spin before. I've heard politicians polish bad ideas until they sparkle. But when your own team starts comparing your messaging strategy to a contaminated punch bowl, maybe the branding consultants should be called before the campaign consultants. Jones openly criticized support for Hamas, abolishing police, abolishing borders, refusing to deport violent criminals, and questioning Israel's existence. Again, not conservatives. Democrats. When members of your own family start hiding the silverware before you visit, Thanksgiving isn't going well. And he's not alone. More Democrats are quietly admitting something conservatives have been saying for years. The Democratic Socialists may dominate social media. They may dominate faculty lounges. They may dominate city council meetings where nobody showed up to vote. But swing voters? Not so much. Even Democratic strategists are warning their own party that normal Americans aren't exactly lining up to audition for life inside an economics textbook written by Karl Marx. Meanwhile... President Trump keeps swinging. Whatever people think about his style, Democrats have a much bigger problem than his personality. Results. Because results are stubborn little creatures. You can dislike the salesman. But when the product starts working, people tend to stop reading Yelp reviews. [SEGMENT 1-2] Update on Demise of Democrats 2 Democrat credibility [X] SB – ABC Jon Karl on This Week quizzes Mark Warner on voter ID Sign an affidavit CNN even ran a piece comparing Trump then versus Trump now. Now, I couldn't tell you every detail because CNN wanted me to subscribe. I'd rather pay for parking at my own house. But I read enough to know the warning label. Democrats should be concerned. And that's putting it politely. Because here's where Democrats find themselves. No clear agenda. Fundraising struggles. Credibility problems. That's political bingo. And somehow they managed to fill the whole card. Which brings us back to something I've discussed for years. Narratives only work until they collide with evidence. Whether we're talking election integrity or any number of issues, Democrats continue defending positions that many Americans increasingly question. When Pete Buttigieg repeats the familiar line about court cases dismissing election challenges, he's appealing to an argument people have heard countless times. The larger public debate now centers on what evidence should be considered, what legal standards applied, and whether Americans believe every question surrounding 2020 received a full hearing. Those conversations aren't going away simply because someone repeats an old talking point. Politics has a funny habit. Yesterday's settled issue has a way of becoming tomorrow's committee hearing. And while Democrats are busy defending yesterday... The Democratic Socialists are busy inventing tomorrow. Kevin Jackson has been called, the "white-collar" Joe Rogan. Given their similar backgrounds in TV, comedy, and martial arts, it's easy to see why people enjoy Kevin's show so much. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this Wednesday Q&A episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down Secretary Rubio's explosive new report tracing six decades of Cuban, Soviet, and Chinese subversion behind the Communist takeover of the Democrat Party. Bryan answers listener questions on the state of immigration enforcement under Trump, a new Colorado congresswoman's push to replace American leadership with immigrants, and why he believes veteran Democrats like Van Jones are too late to reclaim their party from its socialist wing. He also tackles listener questions on Iran, explaining why the IRGC is so hard to defeat and what the CIA really knows about the regime's nuclear ambitions. Plus, Bryan covers President Trump's puzzling reversal on China's election interference, a New Jersey "glitch" that registered thousands of noncitizens to vote, and a deep dive into the Bolshevik Revolution as a cautionary parallel for where America's Communist movement could be headed.

This episode featured a conversation with Rahul Sonpimple, founder of the All-India Independent Scheduled Castes Association. Our conversation began with Rahul's conception of Indian history and the place of anti-caste struggle within it. We delved further into Rahul's own understanding of “anti-caste” as deeply rooted in Ambedkar's own argument about the necessity of force in emancipatory social transformation. Rahul was especially forthright about the political cost of elevating meekness as a moral condition, a choice that he associates with the rise of a Dalit middle class focused primarily on securing its own representational authority. This took us to a discussion of the need for an independent and consolidated Dalit politics rooted in the lives of the Dalit poor with sufficient leverage to negotiate terms with the state. The last part of the episode focused on Rahul's critique of both Ambedkarites and Indian Marxists for their disregard of caste as a material question. He spoke at particular length about the failure of Indian Marxists to advance a materalist critique of caste and how their analytical separation of caste and class has played into the hands of the Hindu Right. We ended the episode with Rahul laying out his own definition of Ambedkarism as a material and spiritual politics that recognizes the Dalit poor as a revolutionary class with the potential to rebuild society.

Episode 4182 │ July 15, 2026 When you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. Matthew 6 knew the machine before the machine existed. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Scott Kesterson opens with a discussion of a December 2005 documentary project at Devils Point — a Portland strip club where weeks of trust, transparency, and real relationship collapsed the moment release forms appeared and visibility entered the room — and carries that lesson forward twenty years to a truck full of hot meals and a camera that never should have come out. The episode moves through Karl Marx's theory that human relationships under enough pressure resolve into commodity exchange, the three unsolvable problems that survive even the most careful attempt to film an act of kindness without exploitation, and Jon Bon Jovi's Soul Kitchen in New Jersey as a genuine ongoing effort to hold two things that don't want to be held together — the reach to tell the story and the refusal to let the story become the point. Anchored by Proverbs 27:21 and Matthew 6:1–6 (NASB 1995), the episode closes on the only things left standing outside the attention economy: the meal no one filmed, and the prayer no one heard. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED Who actually benefits from a filmed act of kindness — the person being fed, the person doing the feeding, the platform, or the follower count — and what is the motive underneath the motive? What does a camera do to the moment it enters — and why does consent not just protect people, but change what it is protecting before a single frame is ever shot? Can the tools of social media carry an act of kindness without feeding it into the machine those tools are built to run — and what does it cost to refuse?

History class is back in session on the Breitbart News Daily Podcast and Professor Mike Slater is here to give you the straight scoop on the VILE Karl Marx and how his philosophical offspring of Marxism (AKA Communism) is GARBAGE FOR LOSERS as well. Don't miss this one as you'll definitely be hearing more about this crazy crap in more and more modern political contexts! Following that opener, Slater speaks with Vivek Ramaswamy about his candidacy to be the state of Ohio's next Governor before chatting with Michael Whatley, former RNC Chairman, about his quest to be the next great U.S. Senator from North Carolina. These two are GREAT examples of the type of people that Republicans will be putting into power in 2027 and beyond. MAGA! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Alan Skorski recently interviewed ordained Minister and Heritage Foundation Visiting Fellow, Luke Moon, who returned to Heritage following the Tucker Carlson fiasco last year, in which President Kevin Roberts initially refused to distance the think tank from Tucker Cralson, following his interview with Holocaust denier, racist groyper, Nick Fuentes. During the interview, Moon said that he had several conversations with Carlson, who sought his counsel on how to shed the “antisemitism” label. After advising Carlson on the necessary steps needed to redeem himself, “Tucker doubled down on his antisemitism,” according to Moon. Luke returned to Heritage as a Visiting fellow to combat antisemitism, from both the right and left. Moon spent last decade focusing his attention on raising awareness about persecuted Christians in the Middle East and encouraging Christian support for Israel and the Jewish people. During the interview, Moon spoke about the Marxist/Islamist alliance. While taking about Wisconsin Gubernatorial candidate and other DSA candidates, the frequent refrain is, " "None of us are free until Palestine is free." Moon asks, "Why is it important for the DSA activists and candidates to declare this idea? It is because the liberation of Palestine means the end of Israel. And Israel is a stand-in for God. To destroy Israel is to destroy God which would bring about liberation from God's commands and expectations." Israel is the living testimony that the God of the Bible makes promises and keeps them. You cannot look at a reconstituted Jewish state in the ancient homeland — after two thousand years of exile — and call it a coincidence. It is a provocation to every worldview that denies a sovereign God who acts in history. Karl Marx was once asked who he hated the most in Britain and his answer was a British preacher named Charles Spurgeon. Spurgeon was a revivalist preacher who was leading thousands of working-class people to faith and taking away Marx's army. Marx hated him for it. Similarly, the Islamists demand total submission to Allah. The God revealed in scripture, particularly through Israel and the Church, is a rival truth claim that must be suppressed. When Islamists come to power, the churches and synagogues are destroyed. The ones that aren't destroyed are turned into museums or government-controlled PR outlets. Back in 2014, when I started advocating for Christians in the Middle East, there were over 450,000 Christians in Iraq. Twelve years later, there are less than 185,000. There are more Christians in Israel than Iraq. Alan Skorski Reports 16JULY2026 - PODCAST
Germania Rodriguez Poleo — journalist, writer, and Venezuelan exile — escaped her country at age 11 after the Chavez regime accused her mother of terrorism, tortured their bodyguard to death, shot at their car, and raided their home. She arrived in Miami as a refugee. Then she went to NYU and voted for Bernie Sanders in the primary. Her Reason magazine article "My Family Fled Socialism. Then I Voted for Bernie Sanders." tells the story of how that happened — and how she found her way back out. She's also the narrator of the documentary Escaping Venezuela. We covered: her mother's escape on a boat to Curacao and what Interpol red notices actually do to dissidents; the Pinochet whataboutism that follows every conversation about left-wing atrocities; what NYU taught (and didn't teach) about communism, socialism, and US foreign policy; why the pipeline from wealth and privilege to socialism is real and why it matters who makes the culture; the DSA's old platform calling for nationalization of media — and what that looks like in practice in Venezuela; the 32 Cuban soldiers killed protecting Maduro when the US captured him; the 2024 Venezuelan election that was stolen in plain sight; the recent earthquake with 40,000 missing while the dictatorship reports 3,000 dead; why she believes the US should be the policeman of the world; and the tragedy of exile — what it means to have your entire family legacy erased.

The factors behind the widespread success of Democrat Socialist candidates in races across the U.S. is being heavily examined by both parties and political experts who warn this trend can lead to great harm for American culture. New York City elected a socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, and three socialist congressional candidates he endorsed, and out west, Seattle also elected a socialist mayor, with Colorado too unseating a longtime Democrat with socialist congressional candidate. While these politicians identify as socialist, some point out that to the authors of the communist manifesto, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels - socialism and communism is interchangeable. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Mike Gonzalez, the Angeles T. Arredondo E Pluribus Unum Senior Fellow at The Heritage Foundation, and co-author of 'Next Gen Marxism: What Is It And How To Combat It'', who warns that a one "vicious cycle" is currently dominating American politics which could lead to "communists in double digits" serving in Congress.

On this day, 7 July 1864, Filipino labour leader Isabelo de los Reyes was born in Vigan. He became a journalist and opponent of Spanish colonial rule, for which he was jailed and tortured. He was then deported to Spain and held in the infamous Montjuic Castle in Barcelona, alongside many anarchist political prisoners.In 1901 he was allowed to return to the Philippines, and he brought with him a library of books by socialists like Karl Marx and anarchists like Mikhail Bakunin. He founded the Unión Obrera Democrática Filipina, and helped organise several strikes.See our timeline of his life and activism on our Stories app, including sources and maps: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/tag/9461/isabelo-de-los-reyesOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

It's been said that you can spot an American from a mile away. Travelers to Europe are advised to adjust their attire to blend in with locals and avoid looking so … casual. The French think Americans are loud and rude, and Europe has a long tradition of sneering at how classless we all are, even before Trump.I spent a month in Italy, and it's a beautiful place. The slow living, the long naps when all the stores shut down for hours during the day, the tiny cars, the laundry drying on the balconies, the fresh food at the Farmer's Market. I feel lucky that when I came back from Italy, I was pregnant and having my baby is the single greatest thing that has ever happened to me. But I'm also glad she grew up in America.I used to travel to France to cover the Cannes Film Festival, and again, I admired their way of life, the food especially. But every time I stayed too long, I began to miss my home in America. There is something thrilling about living in a free country that I've never felt anywhere else.It seems to me that if you are born here, you make up your life as it goes along. It is not planned out for you, necessarily, although in some cases, I guess it probably is. In my case, it wasn't. I knew I could invent myself any way I wanted. And if I didn't like that version, I could reinvent myself. We're like our country, a work in progress. It's always there for the taking, that promise of opportunity.Donald Trump is all of America's freedoms wrapped up in one imperfect man. He broke through the thick layer of oppressive thought and speech and showed the world that here, you really can say anything you want - as long as some crazed totalitarian doesn't try to shoot you. That's the country I want to live in. It isn't that the greatest writing or art has come from a place like America. Plenty of great works have come from places that don't center freedom as their main objective. But once you've tasted it, you can't give it up.In his speech last night, Trump said:The American founding represents the best ideas and traditions in history by the best people, like you. You can be loyal to Karl Marx or you can be loyal to America. You can be a communist or you can be a patriot. You cannot be both. As for those who peddle Marxist lies about our heritage, tell our children that we live on stolen land or that our heroes were oppressors, they're doing something much worse than slandering our past. They are slandering and attacking our future. Not going to let that happen.They're trying to tear down the great American character to destroy the people who declared independence, who crossed the Delaware, who settled the West and conquered the skies. You know who those people are. But we will never let that happen.In America now, two stories are competing to claim the right to rule the future. Trump is telling the better story, the one America was founded on and the one we've all believed, at least up until recently, when a new wave of progressives decided that the better story paints America as a corrupt, rotten, white supremacist empire that has to be torn down to the studs and rebuilt.They must be terrified about the 2030 Census because they've decided to die on the hill of illegal immigration, which is fast becoming their most important issue. That, alongside Democratic Socialism, is a recipe for disaster.This was Bill Clinton's bummer message on the Fourth:I always thought Bill Clinton was a good president, but reading that just now makes me think he wasn't. All he's ever been able to do is point the finger at the other side and never offer any real solutions. He's not the man in the arena. He's the man on the sidelines.What I love about Trump and his supporters is how much they love America. They love it so much that they plant flags all over their homes. They admire the Founding Fathers. They call themselves Patriots. We didn't have that kind of pride on the Left when I was growing up.And even now, so many see the American flag and the love of country as dangerous, racist, bigoted, fascist. Whoever told those people that is what MAGA is about lied. They're protective of America's laws and its border. That is out of love for the country. The Left has taken almost everything from them. They've locked them out of culture, forbidden them from participating in any of their major events, dehumanized, demonized, and disenfranchised them. But the one thing they couldn't take was their citizenship. They hit the jackpot just by being born in America. To think it would be so easy for people all over the world to come here illegally and claim that prize or to come here and attempt to remake America into something it was never meant to be devalues the one thing they treasure most of all. I've always been a proud American. I've always preferred this country over any other, but only in the last few years have I understood what it means to be a Patriot, to be ready to fight for the country I love. And that is because of the people I've gotten to know on the Right.This country is worth fighting for. I might not agree with all of the policies on the Right, or even Trump himself, all of the time, but I'd rather have the future of this country in the hands of people who love it the way Trump does than people who hate it, the way so many on the Left do, just because their candidates are weak and their policies are toxic. I wanted to write 250 things I love about America, but it got too long, so this will have to do. Here are just some of the things I love:I love the interstates as part of the great legacy of Dwight D. Eisenhower.I love the Pacific Ocean because it stretches along the state. I love Catalina Island off the California Coast, where I spent many a summer with my best friend.I love seeing our history in the many cultures that came here, like Chinatown, Little Italy, Mexican food in LA, soul food in the South, Irish bars and pubs in the middle of nowhere. And yes, you can appreciate a nation of immigrants while still policing our borders now. I love how nice people are in some places, like California, Ohio, and Iowa, where they smile at you on the street.I love the weather extremes, from the dusty plains to the snowy mountains to hurricanes by the sea.I love the historic monuments from the Civil War and the Revolutionary War.I love the town squares that you can still see if you drive through the middle of America. Even though many are abandoned, they still look like hope to me.I love how each town square has a church, a post office, and a school.I love the many farmlands that blanket the Midwest.I love the small mom-and-pop coffee drive-throughs, and even the convenience of a Starbucks in nearly every town.I love Route 66 and how people still drive it and visit the forgotten places.I love the absurdity of Las Vegas, how it sprouts up impossibly in the middle of the desert.I love the American writers who helped shape our country's sense of itself - Mark Twain, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Flannery O'Connor, Richard Ford, Maya Angelou. I love the musical traditions that started here: Jazz and the Blues. And became Rock n' Roll. I love the Legend of Sleepy Hollow and the town that still remembers it.I love diners and dive bars.I love Gone with the Wind and how it's still the highest-grossing film of all time when adjusted for inflation. I love The Twilight Zone and find it timeless, as relevant today as it was in the 1950s.I love the footprints at the (Grauman's) Chinese Theater in Hollywood.I love the US military and its devotion to the country. I love the wildflowers that bloom in California every year.I love soft-serve ice cream at the DQ.I love Levi's.I love New York pizza.I love Solvang in California.I love driving up the Oregon coast. I love the songs of Bob Dylan.I love the tap dancing of Fred Astaire.I love how anyone can be a star on YouTube, no matter where they come from, but YouTube couldn't have been invented anywhere but America.I love how I could build a business as a single mom in a one-room guesthouse in Van Nuys, and that business would, five years later, become profitable because I worked hard and had a good idea. And then, when my career went up in flames in 2024 because I voted for Trump, I could build another career on Substack because that is what America is all about - inventing and reinventing yourself.I love the innovative spirit that built America in real life and online.I love reading about the early settlers, the Puritans, and the homesteaders, how much they sacrificed to help make America a home. And I love the history of the Native Americans, too, even if so much of it remains a tragedy now. I love high-speed internet and Wi-Fi that are available almost everywhere, and if they're not, I have a hotspot.I love the old American cars that were not just exceptional but beautiful.I love the tradition of baseball.I love that people faithfully watch football, even if I don't.I love the tradition of sourdough bread all over social media.I love that the best basketball players in the world are from here.I love that every state is different from one to the next.I love Harper's Ferry, how it's frozen in time.I love that we found a way to move on from the trauma of our past with slavery and how we fought a bloody Civil War to end it. I love that we were the good guys in World War II. We did the right thing in entering the war and helping the Allies win. I love that you can be anything here. The door is always open. It's up to you to walk through it.I love that America is a Christian nation, and you can see that if you drive across it. But it's also a country that stands for freedom of religion, too.I love the American comedians: Groucho Marx, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Steve Martin, and Johnny Carson.I love that the best films from the 1970s were American movies, like The Godfather, The French Connection, Taxi Driver, and Network. But I also love more modern masterpieces by American filmmakers, like No Country for Old Men and Sideways.I love that people play the lottery, thinking one day they will hit the jackpot. They never will, but they can still dream.I love Thanksgiving and the way we celebrate it in America, which is to say, all together as one big dysfunctional family.I love the tradition of Halloween and how every October, the pumpkins and costumes come out. I love the way the weather changes. I love the Declaration of Independence and those who dared to build this wild, untamed, optimistic work in progress. I love that America is always looking to the future to find a better version of itself and its people. I love that so many Americans still believe in the American Dream.I love watching the movie Jaws on the 4th of July.I love that people watch fireworks, even if I never do, because they traumatize my dogs.I love that we have a holiday just to celebrate the day we became a country, a ragtag group of deplorable revolutionaries who set out to build a brand new country. Oh, the audacity of it. I love living here and would not want to live anywhere else. Happy 250th Birthday, my beloved country.Happy 4th to you, dear readers. Thanks for everything. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.sashastone.com/subscribe
In this episode of Mining the Media, G.K. opens by celebrating America's remarkable contributions to the world through science, medicine, innovation, and life-enhancing discoveries—including one that gave Dave a new lease on life through a total knee replacement. From there, G.K. contrasts the growing trend of Americans criticizing their own nation with the overwhelmingly positive experiences being shared by World Cup visitors from around the globe. As international fans marvel at America's generosity, abundance, hospitality, and friendliness, G.K. asks why so many who have been blessed by this country fail to appreciate what others see so clearly. To close his Talking Points, G.K. shares three revealing quotes from Karl Marx that unexpectedly set the stage for Dave's main presentation. Dave then tackles the timely question: "Why Biblical Christianity and Marxism Cannot Coexist." Separating fact from fiction, he first dispels a popular urban legend before examining Marxism through the lenses of Scripture, history, philosophy, and human nature. Rather than placing hope in political movements or personalities, Dave demonstrates why God's design for humanity provides the only enduring foundation for liberty, justice, morality, and lasting societal transformation. If you've ever wondered why Christianity and Marxism are fundamentally incompatible, this episode will equip you with biblical principles and historical perspective to engage the conversation with both conviction and clarity.

While Karl Marx is famously derisive of "moralism," this discussion unpacks how his work actually outlines a robust "Ethics of Human Flourishing"—a vision of human liberation rooted in the realization of our creative and social potential beyond the constraints of capital.We delve into Sam's latest research, comparing Marx's views on character development and well-being with Aristotelian ethics, while highlighting how Marx's focus on labor and class status creates a unique framework for modern social movements.Key Topics Covered:The Ethics of Character: How Marx defines the "good life" through the lens of historical context and labor.Alienation and Well-being: The impact of capitalist structures on individual development and freedom.Beyond Aristotle: Why Marx's version of flourishing is inclusive of the working class, unlike classical elite-focused ethics.Modern Social Movements: Using Marx's ethical framework to address today's economic and social inequalities.Referenced Work:Book Citation: Badger, Sam.

Episode 4156 │ June 22, 2026 The silence around the killing of children is not a failure of the system. It is the system working exactly as designed. Dispatch One names it. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Dispatch One of The Eighteenth Brumaire of Donald Trump opens a five-part series built on months of research by applying Karl Marx's dialectical method — not his ideology — to the documented record of what the world's power structure is actually doing to its most vulnerable: 20,000 confirmed children killed in Gaza, 175 children killed in a pink schoolhouse in southern Iran by a US Tomahawk missile aimed by an AI targeting system that didn't know it was a school, 12 million children in modern slavery generating $236 billion annually, and 40,000 children mining coltan in armed-group-controlled Congo for supply chains confirmed by Global Witness to include Sony, Microsoft, Amazon, and Nvidia. The banking system keeps running, the arms contracts keep flowing, the UN Security Council keeps issuing statements, and 1,118 people were convicted last year against a $236 billion global industry — and Scott Kesterson names what that pattern actually is: not failure, not incapacity, but a permission structure — a deliberate institutional choice about what children are worth made by people with the power to choose otherwise. The episode ends not with resolution but with a question: what would you expect if it was your child? KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED What is the difference between institutional failure and a permission structure — and what does the documented record of banking continuity, arms contracts, supply chains, and Security Council vetoes prove about which one is operating? What does the coltan in your phone have to do with armed rebel groups in the Congo, children exposed to radiation in mining pits, and a US federal court that confirmed tech companies forced children to work to meet their demand — then absolved them legally? How does Karl Marx's dialectical method — strip away the theater, expose what is actually moving underneath — apply to the present moment without endorsing the ideology that destroyed a hundred million lives?

This video presents a powerful contrast between the legacies of Karl Marx and D.L. Moody, using their graves in London's Highgate Cemetery as symbolic bookends of opposing worldviews. It critiques Marx's ideology—rooted in the abolition of private property, God, and the family, and grounded in revolutionary upheaval—as a philosophy that, despite claiming to liberate humanity, resulted in widespread oppression and death. In contrast, the sermon exalts Moody's life and ministry as a testament to true liberation through faith in Christ, emphasizing the enduring impact of the Gospel on individuals and society. The central message calls listeners to reflect on their own legacy, urging a life defined not by cultural or political ideologies, but by obedience to God and the transformative power of the truth found in Jesus Christ.

Robert Owen was a factory owner, a social reformer, the father of British socialism… and possibly the nicest company-town tyrant in history. Long before Karl Marx called for revolution, Owen tried to build a kinder version of capitalism: humane factories, universal education, shorter work days, and workers treated like human beings instead of expendable machinery. His model industrial town at New Lanark became world famous, attracting kings, intellectuals, and even the Tsar of Russia. But success convinced Owen he could go further. So he sold everything and moved to Indiana to build a socialist utopia from scratch. What followed was a chaotic experiment involving communal child rearing, endless committee meetings, militant intellectuals, religious clashes, labor shortages, and eventually… the ghost of Thomas Jefferson. In this episode, Heaton travels to Scotland to explore the strange rise and catastrophic collapse of Robert Owen's alternate-universe socialism—and asks whether history might have looked very different if Owenism, rather than Marxism, had become the dominant socialist tradition.
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 205 Where did Communism really come from? Did it originate with Karl Marx? Is it... "Jewish"? The answers to these latter questions are no. Communism arose out of a combination of German idealism and French socialism, and the first documents on the subject were composed in France. In fact, not only that, the first revolutionary Communist was a Frenchman as well, Francois-Noel "Gracchus" Babeuf, who derived many of his ideas for communist life from an obscure French thinker and tax official named Etienne-Gabriel Morelly. Morelly wrote a tract called The Code of Nature (https://www.marxists.org/subject/utopian/morelly/code-nature.htm ) in 1755 outlining what we recognize today as Communism. Babeuf took these ideas and tried to install them through his "Conspiracy of the Equals," which had a manifesto, "The Manifesto of Equals," (https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/sylvain-marechal-manifesto-of-equals) written by his collaborator Sylvain Marechal in 1796. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes you through these documents and makes it abundantly clear that the Communist Manifesto Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels wrote in 1848 had these ideas at their core. Join him to learn the true origins of Communism.

NYC tenants say they were living in straight-up nightmare conditions while landlords kept collecting checks, and now the city just hit back with a $31 million judgment. Mayor Zohran Mamdani says what was once sold as “luxury you can afford” turned into years of dangerous living, broken apartments, and hundreds of violations in the Bronx.
