Tiananmen Square, the Unmasking of Communism, and Karl Marx's Hegelian Roots Professor Sean McMeekin Professor Sean McMeekin's book, To Overthrow the World: The Rise and Fall and Rise of Communism, begins with the Tiananmen Square Massacre in 1989 as the "tearing off of the mask" of communism, revealing raw force and brutality. The discussion traces communism back to Karl Marx, noting that he was a Hegelian who drew from Hegel the idea of history as a product of "incessant struggle," which Marx reduced to class struggle between oppressors and oppressed. Marx's theory, described as an "abstract word game" and a "philosophical project," posited that history would inevitably simplify into a "binary dialectical cataclysm" between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat.
Professor McMeekin states clearly that communism, specifically Marxist-Leninism, prospers only in conjunction with extreme violence and the disintegration of governance norms. The discussion covers the French revolutionary Babeuf, who advocated for the overturning of private property, centralized rationing, and "cleansing political violence" against "class enemies." Babeuf set a precedent for the centrality of political violence to the communist project. Marx later embraced the Paris Commune of 1871, even though he did not organize it, seeing the Commune's violence—including the killing of class enemies and throwing women and children into battle—as proof of the veracity and sincerity of a true communist revolution.
This segment addresses Vladimir Lenin's adoption of Marx's ideas, particularly the aspect of Marxism requiring political violence. Lenin's major innovation, often called "vanguardism," involved a top-down party of professional revolutionaries leading the workers. Inspired by Marx's reaction to the Franco-Prussian War, Lenin developed "revolutionary defeatism," which held that imperial wars between capitalist powers would create opportunities for revolution in the losing nation. This civil war would beget a "state of perennial global civil war" between the new proletarian dictatorship and non-communist countries, which Lenin explicitly advocated for as an ideal scenario, standing in tension with Marx's "emiseration thesis."
The conversation moves back to the USSR with Nikita Khrushchev's 1956 Secret Speech, which led to disruption in Eastern Europe. The Cuban Missile Crisis (1962) is analyzed as an act of traditional great power politics driven by the desire to prove Soviet superiority and overturn the strategic balance in intercontinental ballistic missiles. The 1979 invasion of Afghanistan is highlighted as a remarkable mistake that undermined détente and gave the United States an opportunity to pressure the USSR. Mikhail Gorbachev attempted to reform and reinvigorate Soviet communism based on a close reading of Marx and Lenin, but failed because he did not understand that the system was not popular and rested entirely on force.

A very different and very short Weekend Post-Mortem for The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast, with Brett McKay giving a quick run through the two biggest games in Harry Jones' convenient Springboks celebration-shaped absence on the ground in Dublin. And it was two intriguing contests for very different reasons. South Africa dominant in their win, but Ireland somehow staying in a contest they maybe had no right to, and Australian left to lament a 15pt loss to France that was only that wide because of what they did to themselves in what was probably still their best performance of the November Tests. #rugby #rugbypodcast #89Combo #WeekendPostMortem #internationalrugby #NovemberTests #AutumnNationsSeries #SouthAfrica #NewZealand #Ireland #France #England #Argentina #Australia #Scotland #Fiji #Italy #Wales #Japan Find us: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@8-9Combo?sub_confirmation=1 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1BcKhb24YOtwQhKc0S3sDm Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-8-9-combo-rugby-podcast/id1729575866 Social media: #89Combo Twitter: https://twitter.com/89combo BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/89combo.bsky.social Find Brett and Harry on both Twitter and on BlueSky: @BMcSport + @HaribaldiJones Music: "Stalling" by Topher Mohr & Alex Elena (via YouTube Creator Studio) Voiceovers by Chookman + Sean Maloney Learn more about your ad choices.

Ler Karl Marx no contexto eclesiástico é, desde o início, um exercício ambíguo. Por um lado, Marx oferece instrumentos críticos para diagnosticar distorções institucionais, como a alienação, a burocratização da vida comunitária e o uso do discurso religioso como máscara de dominação. Por outro, Marx representa uma das mais incisivas negações da fé, da liberdade espiritual e da transcendência divina na história do pensamento moderno. Este episódio assume ambas as tensões. Reconhece que certas categorias marxistas — como crítica à alienação e à desigualdade institucional — podem lançar luz sobre fragilidades organizacionais na Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia (IASD). Mas alerta, com igual vigor, que o marxismo, como ideologia histórica e proposta revolucionária, é incompatível com a fé cristã e representa uma ameaça direta à ordem e à missão espiritual da Igreja.

Przemysłowe miasto w Anglii i robotnicza dzielnica w Polsce. Dwa przyczynki do świetnych piosenek. Zacznijmy od Wysp Brytyjskich. Pierwszy przystanek to Salford, w hrabstwie Greater Manchester w Anglii. Stare, przemysłowe miasto, a co za tym idzie miasto robotnicze. Tak bardzo robotnicze, że to właśnie tu Marx i Engels pomieszkiwali aby studiować ciężkie życie brytyjskiego proletariatu. Ale nie oni są dla nas dzisiaj najważniejsi. W Salford urodził się i wychował James Henry Miller. Znamy go bardzo dobrze. Tworzył, nagrywał i występował pod pseudonimem Ewan MacColl – prawdziwa ikona angielskiego, a w zasadzie światowego folku. Zanim świat go poznał jako folkowego barda, Ewana MacColl próbował być dramaturgiem, współtworzył lewicującą grupę teatralną i pisał sztuki. Akcję jednej z nich „Landscape with Chimney” umieścił właśnie w swoim rodzinnym mieście. Żeby umilić widzom przerwę niezbędną do zmieniany dekoracji, Ewan napisał piosenkę. Ot historyjkę przywołującą młodzieńcze wspomnienia z przemysłowego Sulford, randki pod gazownią, spacery nad starym kanałem i pierwsze pocałunki pod fabrycznym murem. Nad tym wszystkim rozciąga się przemysłowy smród i odgłosy pracującego miasta. Brudnego, starego miasta. No właśnie, no to tytuł mógł być tylko jeden „ Dirty Old Town”. Nie przypuszczał Ewan, że pisząc niewinny przerywnik do sztuki teatralnej stworzy jeden z największych przebojów wyspiarskiego folku, śpiewany w pubuch i na scenach dosłownie na całym świecie. Pierwsze nagranie autor zrealizował w 52 roku. Piosenka szybko przyjęła się w nowopowstających klubach folkowych. Wkrótce swoją wersję nagrał znany folklorysta Alan Lomax i piosenka poszła w świat. No i „Dirty Old Town” zapragnęli mieć w swoim repertuarze chyba wszyscy artyści choć trochę ocierający się o folk. A słynni The Dubliners w 68 roku dokonali tak porywającego nagrania, że wielu słuchaczy do dziś ma wrażenie że „Dirty Old Town” to irlandzki kawałek. Ale my nie gęsi. Też mamy swoje stare miasta i ich brudne dzielnice. Szczecin. Miasto nie tak stare jak Salford ale stare. Dzielnica również stara. Pierwsze wzmianki o niej pochodzą z XIII wieku. W XIV już była wymieniana jako wieś pod nazwą Zabelsdorf. W XIX wcielona do granic administracyjnych Szczecina. Dziś jest największą dzielnicą tego miasta i nosi nazwę Niebuszewo. Dzielnica w XIX i na początku XX wieku całkiem prężnie się rozwijała, była dzielnicą przemysłowo mieszkalną, z ciekawą architekturą, której niestety nieliczne ślady pozostały do dzisiaj. Kres rozwojowi przyniosła II wojna światowa. Po wojnie dzielnica została zasiedlona powracającymi z innych terenów Niemcami, Żydami i oczywiście Polakami. Póżniej Niebuszewo zaczęli opuszczać bardziej zamożni mieszkańcy. Dzielnica podupadała, z czasem zyskała złą sławę. Winna temu była wysoka przestępczość. Dziś Niebuszewo jest umieszczane wysoko w zestawieniach polskich niebezpiecznych dzielnic. Ale w brudnej, niebezpiecznej dzielnicy też można mieć szczęśliwe dzieciństwo i bujną młodość. Sulford miało swojego barda – Niebuszewo ma swojego. Tu pierwszych win próbował, tu pierwsze bójki toczył i tu przemierzał szlaki piwnic i strychów lider szczecińskiej punk folkowej formacji Emerald – Leszek Czarnecki. I jak Ewan o Sulford, tak Leszek o swoim dorastaniu w Niebuszewie napisał piosenkę. I to jaką. „Niebuszewo”, bo taki prosty tytuł nosi, to miejski folk najwyższej próby. Ja od pierwszego przesłuchania jestem oczarowany. Świetny tekst i kompozycja, wspaniała, niebanalna aranżacja. No i wykonanie, nie przesadzę jak powiem, że Pana Czarneckiego z zespołem spokojnie możemy umieścić na tej samej półce co MacGowana z Poguesami. Sail ho Audycja zawiera utwory: “Dirty Old Town” w wykonaniu „The Pogues”, słowa I muzyka: Ewan MacColl „Niebuszewo” w wykonaniu zespołu „Emerald”, słowa i muzyka: Leszek Czarnecki
Send us a textIn this powerful and eye-opening episode of The Way of Valor, Angie Taylor unpacks the hidden forces shaping today's children and equips parents with the clarity and confidence they need to lead with purpose.For nearly 400 years, Western culture was built on a Protestant worldview where work had meaning, family was sacred, discipline was discipleship, and children were seen as image-bearers with purpose. But between the 1800s and early 1900s, new thinkers fundamentally shifted how society viewed identity, childhood, morality, and the family.Angie breaks down how three influential voices Freud, Skinner, and Marx reshaped modern education, psychology, and culture, and why parents today feel like they're swimming upstream. She explains:Freud: “Your desires define you.”Skinner: “You're just a product of conditioning.”Marx: “Society not the family should shape the child.”These worldviews still dominate schools, media, and youth culture. But the good news? Parents are still the #1 influence in a child's life. And with understanding comes the power to reclaim your child's formation.Connect with Angie Taylor on:IG: https://www.instagram.com/mrsangietaylor/?hl=enFB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090424997350
Victor Marx joins Sheriff Steve Reams, in for Dan, for three full segments. Among the topics discussed: Marx's stance on issues, answers on questions regarding his background - including military service, whether or not he was held prisoner in the United Arab Emirates, retelling his story of a stepfather ordering him to kill a man, and confirming that a man who tried to kill him in a dispute was indeed his brother-in-law.Rep Lori Garcia Sander (R-65) also joins the program.

Nesse episódio, Glauber Machado, Hian Sousa e Gabriel Carvalho recebem mais uma vez Maurílio Botelho para falar sobre o livro 2 de O Capital, suas categorias centrais, as dificuldades pelo caráter fragmentário e inacabado da obra, as continuidades no desenvolvimento da crítica da economia política de Marx e sua relação com os problemas atuais do capitalismo em seu período de crise terminal.
Yeni yüzyıl göz açıp kapayana kadar ilk çeyreğini tamamladı. Artık 20. yüzyıldan devraldığı dinamiklerle hareket eden, onun kalıntısı niteliğinde eğilimlerin ön planda olduğu bir yüzyıldan değil, kendi zeminini yaratmış, kendi diyalektiğinin çelişkilerini yaşayan bir yüzyıldan söz ediyoruz. Elbette tarih bir yüzyıldan diğerine hiçbir miras bırakmadan geçmez. Bu bakımdan 21. yüzyılın diyalektiği de 20. yüzyıldan derin izler, hatta yaralar ve travmalar taşıyor. 21. yüzyılın ilk çeyreği dolarken dünya durumunu ele alacak olan bu yazının gerek ilk bölümünde ele alacağımız dünya ekonomisinin durumu gerekse ikinci bölümünde üzerinde duracağımız dünya ölçeğindeki politik eğilimler elbette 20. yüzyıldan pek çok iz taşıyor. Buna aşağıda yeri geldiğinde değineceğiz.Yüzyılın ilk çeyreği iki ay sonra doluyor. Bu çeyrek sürprizler, hatta olağanüstü sarsıntılarla dolu bir dönem oldu. Dünya ahvali pusulası olmayanları şaşırtmaya devam ediyor. Kafaları altüst eden bu tablonun simgesi ise elbette Trump ve onun MAGA (Amerika'yı Yeniden Üstün Kılalım) hareketi. Trump her gün tartışılıyor, üzerine sürekli konuşuluyor, o da hiç durmaksızın, kimi zaman dolu, kimi zaman bomboş konuşuyor. Ama bu tarihî önemdeki olguyu anlayabilmek için ona dünyanın içinden geçtiği en önemli arka plan olayı yokmuş gibi davranarak yaklaşanlar, Trump'tan bile daha boş konuşuyorlar.Bu arka plan olayı, 21. yüzyılın ilk çeyreğinin belirleyici hakikati olan Üçüncü Büyük Depresyon'dur. 2008'in “Küresel Finansal Kriz” olarak anılan büyük finans çöküşünün ardından gelen bu derin ekonomik kriz, modern tarihte dünya kapitalist sisteminin uzun vadeli, derin ve yapısal özellikler taşıyan krizlerinin üçüncüsüdür. Üçüncü Büyük Depresyon hesaba katılmadan, kapitalizmin tarihî gerileyişinin ifadesi olan bu ekonomik krizin etkileri işin içine dâhil edilmeden Trump olgusunu, onun en ileri örneğini oluşturduğu uluslararası ön-faşist hareketi, onun işaret ettiği büyük sarsıntıyı anlamak mümkün değildir.Birçokları bugünün dünya ekonomisini dünya kapitalizminin bir önceki Büyük Depresyonu olan 1930'lu yılların kriziyle karşılaştırarak, o dönemde üretimde çok daha büyük düşüşler yaşandığını, işsizliğin hemen hemen bütün kapitalist ülkelerde dudak uçuklatıcı düzeylere çıktığını, yoksulluk ve sefaletin arşı âlâya yükseldiğini söyleyerek Üçüncü Büyük Depresyon'u neredeyse, bir latife ile söylersek, diplomatik olarak “tanıma”yı reddediyor.Bu tutumu benimseyenler aslında biz Marksistlere sık sık yöneltilen bir eleştiriyi kendileri hak ediyor. Biz kapitalizmin hiç değişmediğini, hep 19. yüzyılda Marx'ın Kapital'i yazdığı dönemdeki üretim tarzı ile apaynı kaldığını varsaymakla suçlanırız. Oysa bizim söylediğimiz farklıdır. Kapitalizmin temel ilişkileri ve yasaları aynı kalmakla birlikte, bunların tezahür (ortaya çıkış) biçimleri elbette değişmektedir. Bu durumda biri “Depresyon” der demez “işsizlik neden yüzde 20 değil o zaman?” diye karşı çıkmak, kapitalizmin işleyişinin daha dışsal, olgusal, görünüş biçimlerinde hiçbir şeyin değişmemiş olduğunu varsaymak demektir.Gelin 21. yüzyılın ilk çeyreği sonunda dünya ekonomisinin nesnel ekonomik durumuna kısaca göz atalım. Bakalım kapitalizm gerçekten olağan dönemlerinden birinden mi geçiyor yoksa bizim söylediğimiz gibi ağır bir ekonomik kriz mi (bir “depresyon” mu) yaşıyor?
Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for November 16, 2025 is: writhe RYTHE verb To writhe is to twist one's body from side to side. The word is often used when the body or a bodily part is twisting in pain. // The injured player lay on the football field, writhing in pain. // At the instruction of their teacher, the children rolled the fallen log aside to reveal worms and other small critters writhing in the soft earth. See the entry > Examples: “The creatures named after writers are mostly bugs, which makes sense. There are a lot of those little guys writhing around, and I imagine most of them escaped our attention for long enough that science had to start reaching for new names. And a lot of them are wasps: Dante has two wasps named after him; Marx has two, Didion has one, Dickens has two, Zola has two, Thoreau has seven, and Shakespeare has three wasps and a bacterium. Nabokov has a lot of butterflies, naturally.” — James Folta, LitHub.com, 25 Aug. 2025 Did you know? Writhe wound its way to us from the Old English verb wrīthan, meaning “to twist,” and that ancestral meaning lives on in the word's current uses, most of which have to do with twists of one kind or another. Among the oldest of these uses is the meaning “to twist into coils or folds,” but in modern use writhing is more often about the physical contortions of one suffering from debilitating pain or attempting to remove oneself from a tight grasp (as, say, a snake from a hawk's talons). The word is also not infrequently applied to the twisting bodies of dancers. The closest relation of writhe in modern English lacks any of the painful connotations often present in writhe: wreath comes from Old English writha, which shares an ancestor with wrīthan.

The election of socialist Zhoran Mamdani as New York mayor is an alarming sign of the rise of critical theory and neo-Marxist ideology. This ideology is now being used by communists to advance their goal of overthrowing the American system. This episode examines the ideology of critical theorists who claim to be opposing fascism but in reality are working subversively to reconstruct humanity along Marxian lines. And as with Marx, these critical theorists are virulent atheists who reject all notions of a supreme spiritual being as creator and parent.The counterproposal section explains that the ultimate solution to the problems communism seeks to address must be found in a greater understanding of spirituality and in restoring the originally intended relationship between the human race and God.The news portion addresses a global crackdown on Christians and the need to counter it. And for the interview section, I hear from Frank Kaufman, an expert who speaks eloquently in promoting a unique, faith-based critique and counterproposal of critical theory. This episode is a must-listen!
Det har taget 22 år, men nu er Marx' økonomiske hovedværk endeligt på vej i trykpressen. Efter at alle har ventet på ham så længe, er Marx nu frygtelig utålmodig for at værket skal komme ud over rampen. I bogen blotlægger Marx kapitalens indre bevægelser. Med hjælp fra Dante og Shakespeare giver Marx kapitalens forskellige dele stemme og fører som en anden Virgil læseren gennem det kapitalistiske helvedes forskellige cirkler. Nu er spørgsmålet om nogen vil læse mesterværket? Historien om Marx fortæller i ni afsnit historien om den revolutionære filosof Karl Marx, fra hans fødsel i Trier i 1818 og til hans død 64 år senere i London. I den periode gik Marx fra at være indflydelsesrig redaktør til at blive en ignoreret polemikker. Fra at være en marginaliseret aktør på den politiske scene, til at lede en nærmest verdensomspændende organisation der indgød de herskende eliter med eksistentiel angst. Og i slutningen af hans liv begynder hans ord at få nærmest profetisk kraft.

Rogers for America with Lt. Steve Rogers – Now it's apparent that both parties experience a setback in the outcome. Now, why do I say both parties? People believe that the Democrats won big and the Republicans lost big, but I've got to tell you, the Republicans did lose big, but the Democrats, I think, they're beginning to cheer a little too soon, because as things settle down, they're going to realize the dangerous path that their party is on.
On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, there's a cabal of grifters who absolutely lack principles. First, Megyn Kelly questioned whether Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile, claiming he preferred "barely legal" 15-year-old girls who could pass as older, rather than younger children, based on an insider's view. This is disgusting. Then there's Steve Bannon who exchanged hundreds of emails and met at least once with Epstein. Bannon created videos with Epstein to teach him how to handle hostile press. Why would anyone associate with Epstein? There's newly unsealed federal court documents detail how a 17-year-old homeless girl in Florida allegedly had sex with former Re. Matt Gaetz for $400 to fund braces for her teeth. And lastly there's Tucker Carlson who targeted Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the anti-Nazi Christian evangelist who tried to kill Hitler. It's time to clean up our own house who have a twisted version of American First. Later, the U.S. healthcare system is the world's best, but some sort of health savings accounts that put more money in people's pockets, enabling them to choose and pay for their own healthcare premiums would be a great idea. Afterward, Gov Gavin Newsom's former chief of staff was indicted on 23 federal counts including conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud. Finally, will Barack Obama's library feature sections on figures like Mao, Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Marx, and Engels, as well as racist America? To build his library Obama demolished a cherished national landmark—designed by Frederick Law Olmsted for the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. It's ironic that Obama protects monuments elsewhere but destroys this historic area. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Nikos Sotirakopoulos Discusses His Journey from Marxism to ObjectivismIn this episode of The Rational Egoist, Dr. Nikos Sotirakopoulos joins Michael Liebowitz to share his intellectual journey from the radical Left to the philosophy of reason and individualism. Once an active Marxist, Nikos reflects on what drew him to collectivist movements in his youth and what ultimately led him to reject them.They discuss the emotional and philosophical appeal of Marxism, the moral void it attempts to fill, and why so many young people are still captivated by its promises today. Nikos explains how his transition to Objectivism reshaped his understanding of freedom, morality, and the role of the individual in society.Now a speaker and writer for the Ayn Rand Institute and an instructor for Ayn Rand University, Dr. Sotirakopoulos teaches about Marx, the communist movement, and the New Left—drawing on both his academic expertise and personal experience to expose the errors of collectivist ideology.Before joining ARI, Nikos spent more than a decade in academia in the UK, teaching at the University of Kent, Loughborough University, and York St John University. He is the author of The Rise of Lifestyle Activism: From New Left to Occupy (Palgrave Macmillan, 2016) and Identity Politics and Tribalism: The New Culture Wars (Societas, 2021), and is a frequent commentator on UK media.Tune in for an insightful conversation about philosophy, moral conviction, and what it truly means to think for yourself.About Michael Liebowitz – Host of The Rational EgoistMichael Liebowitz is the host of The Rational Egoist podcast, a philosopher, author, and political activist committed to the principles of reason, individualism, and rational self-interest.

We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2021 conversation with Richard Marx. ABOUT RICHARD MARX:Grammy-winning performer Richard Marx has sold more than 30 million albums as an artist, but if you only know him from late 1980s ballads such as “Hold on to the Nights” and “Right Here Waiting,” you only know part of the story. A prolific songwriter, Marx has landed fourteen songs at the top of various Billboard charts, and has written a #1 single in each of the last four decades. His genre-crossing songwriting success includes “What About Me” and “Crazy,” which Kenny Rogers carried to the top of the Adult Contemporary and Country charts, respectively; “Edge of a Broken Heart,” a hit for the female metal band Vixen; “This I Promise You,” a Top 5 pop single for NSYNC that stayed at #1 on the Adult Contemporary Chart for 13 weeks; Josh Groban's debut single “To Where You Are,” which also reached #1; and “Dance With My Father,” which Richard wrote with the song's performer, Luther Vandross, and which earned the pair the prestigious Grammy Song of the Year award in 2004. Additionally, Richard has scored three major hits with Keith Urban: the Top 5 “Everybody,” and the #1 singles “Better Life” and “Long Hot Summer.” Despite all his songwriting success, however, Marx is best known as a singer and performer who today jokes about his 80s hairstyle and of-the-era drum sounds. But the songs are undeniable, all of which Marx wrote and produced himself. His debut self-titled album yielded four Top 5 singles: “Don't Mean Nothing,” “Should've Known Better,” “Endless Summer Nights,” and “Hold on to the Nights.” His follow-up, 1989's Repeat Offender, was even more successful, going quadruple-platinum and earning two number one Billboard pop singles, “Satisfied” and “Right Here Waiting,” in addition to the Top 5 “Angelina.” More hits followed, including “Keep Coming Back,” “Hazard,” “Take This Heart,” “Now and Forever,” and “Until I Find You Again.” In addition, Richard's songs have been integral to a number of successful film soundtracks. He earned a Grammy nomination for his contributions to St. Elmo's Fire; scored a Top 10 pop hit with “Surrender to Me,” which Ann Wilson of Heart and Robin Zander of Cheap Trick recorded for the movie Tequila Sunrise, and wrote “At the Beginning,” a hit duet for the film Anastasia that Richard performed with Donna Lewis. Over the course of his career, Richard's songs have been recorded by Barbra Streisand, The Tubes, Sarah Brightman, Monica, Natalie Cole, Michael Bolton, Paulina Rubio, Emerson Drive, Chicago, Billy Ray Cyrus, Vince Gill, Kenny Loggins, LeAnn Rimes, Celine Dion, Julio Iglesias, Berry Manilow, Daughtry, Vertical Horizon, Lifehouse, Dave Koz, Jennifer Nettles, Ringo Starr, and many others. His memoir, Stories to Tell, is available from Simon & Shuster. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The White House marked Anti Communism Week, and we're digging into why it matters. Todd lays out the hard truth history won't erase—communist regimes murdered roughly 100 million people in the 20th century—then traces the ideology from Marx to Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot, and why today's “democratic socialism” still points the same direction. We contrast equality of outcome with equality under freedom, revisit wisdom from Milton Friedman and Ronald Reagan, and explain why America's founders built guardrails against government control. If you want clarity on the difference between compassionate charity and coercive state power—and why free people flourish—this one's for you. Conservative, not bitter… and absolutely pro-truth and pro-freedom.

In this special episode of The Locher Room, we looked back on the extraordinary life and career of Eileen Fulton, the woman who brought As the World Turns' unforgettable Lisa Grimaldi to life for nearly 50 years.Eileen was a true trailblazer — one of daytime television's first complex, modern women. Her strength, wit, and glamour redefined what a soap heroine could be and made Lisa Grimaldi one of the most iconic characters in television history.Five Oakdale favorites — Don Hastings, Ellen Dolan, Gregg Marx, Hillary B. Smith, and Colleen Zenk — came together to share memories, laughter, and heartfelt reflections on their beloved friend and co-star. Together, they celebrated Eileen's humor, professionalism, and the lasting impact she made on her colleagues and fans alike.A moving tribute to a daytime legend whose light continues to shine brightly in the world she helped create.
On your Marx, get set, and go! This time out the Marx we are honoring is Leonard -- better known to us as Chico whose playful and crafty stage persona was a perfect blend with Groucho, Harpo, and Gummo. The eldest brother of the Marx family, Chico also took on managing the brothers' film career, winning them an unprecedented at the time deal to get a percentage of the gross. Unfortunately, Chico didn't have the same magic with his personal finances as gambling losses forced him to work far longer than his kin. It was our gain, as Chico had a fine late career guesting on tv variety shows and in commercials. And why the nickname "Chico"? Turns out it was a sly tribute to his penchant for womanizing bestowed on him by his brothers. As always, find extra clips below and thanks for sharing our shows! Want more Chico? Chico got his nickname (short for "chicken chaser") because of his penchant for womanizing. Here is Chico talking with Harpo -- who also had a thing for chasing women -- in the classic film Animal Crackers. https://youtu.be/Dbz02p90CV8?si=aIKFojpXW6XQiilU Chico was a master of wisecracks and his back-and-forth banter with Groucho was always a highlight of a Marx Brothers film. Here's a nice compilation of some of Chico's best. https://youtu.be/F9L-iQP8O1s?si=h0j3gu08_5loUigT Chico's gambling habit cost him a fortune and, as a result, he had to keep working after his brothers had retired. A fun show from this time was The College Bowl (not the game show) which featured Chico as a soda-shop proprietor in a small college town. https://youtu.be/iwjSaOwg57w?si=rebZjie33452pDMA

What happens when the revolutionary fervor of Marxism meets the probing depths of the psychoanalytic couch? In this intellectually stimulating conversation, Andrew Flores (host of The Parallax Viewer) explores the fascinating and often contentious relationship between psychoanalytic theory and left politics.The discussion begins with a fundamental question: why should Marxists care about psychoanalysis at all? Flores argues that psychoanalysis doesn't just treat individual symptoms but addresses the "bourgeois subject"—the psychological effects of living within capitalist social relations. As he eloquently explains, "What psychoanalysis does is deal with a bourgeois subject, the effects of bourgeois consciousness... Marx invented the symptom, not Freud." This provocative claim opens a pathway to understanding how our internal psychological conflicts might reflect broader social contradictions.Delving into Lacanian theory, Flores unpacks the three registers—Imaginary, Symbolic, and Real—that structure our experience, showing how they relate to political formation and revolutionary potential. The conversation weaves through structuralism, Althusserian Marxism, and contemporary thinkers like Alain Badiou and Domenico Losurdo, revealing the complex theoretical lineages that continue to shape leftist thought.Perhaps most relevant to our current moment is the discussion of social fragmentation, paranoia, and what might be called our collective psychosis. As conspiracy theories proliferate and ideological certainties dissolve, psychoanalytic concepts offer valuable tools for understanding how individual and collective delusions form in response to social trauma.Whether you're a seasoned theoretical traveler or new to these intellectual territories, this conversation offers fresh insights into how we might understand the relationship between our inner lives and the social structures that shape them—and perhaps how we might transform both.Send us a text Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.

Joseph E. Stiglitz has had a remarkable career. He is a brilliant academic, capped by sharing the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics and the Nobel Peace Prize, and honorary degrees from Harvard, Cambridge, Oxford and more than fifty other universities, and elected not only to the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Letters but the Royal Society and the British Academy; a public servant, who served as Chair of President Clinton's Council of Economic Advisors and Chief Economist and Senior Vice President of the World Bank, headed international commissions for the UN and France, and was awarded the French Legion of Honor and Australia's Sydney Peace Prize; a public intellectual whose numerous books on vital topics have been best sellers.What brought him to economics were his concerns about the inequality and discrimination he saw growing up. Wanting to understand what drives it and what can be done about it has been his lifelong passion. This book gathers together and extends to new frontiers this lifelong work, drawing upon the challenges and insights of each of these phases of his career.In a still very widely cited paper written fifty years ago, Stiglitz set forth the fundamental framework for analyzing intergenerational transfer of wealth and advantage, which plays a central role in persistent inequality. That and subsequent work, developed most fully here for the first time, described today's inequality as a result of centrifugal forces increasing inequality and centripetal forces reducing it. In recent decades, the centrifugal forces have strengthened, the centripetal forces weakened. His general theory provides a framework for understanding the marked growth in inequality in recent decades, and for devising policies to reduce it.A central message is that ever-increasing inequality is not inevitable. Inequality is, in a fundamental sense, a choice. Stiglitz explains that inequality does not largely arise from differences in savings rates between capitalists and others, though that may play a role (as Piketty, Marx, and Kaldor suggest); but rather, it originates importantly from the rules of the game, which have weakened the bargaining power of workers as they have increased the market power of corporations. He also explains how monetary authorities have contributed to increasing wealth inequality, and how, unless something is done about it, likely changes in technology such as AI and robotization will make matters worse. He describes policies that can simultaneously reduce inequality and improve economic performance. Joseph E. Stiglitz is an American economist and a professor at Columbia University. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

Face à l'appropriation des terres agricoles, urbaines et forestières aux mains d'une minorité d'acteurs privés qui les exploitent afin d'en tirer un profit, des collectifs s'organisent pour reprendre ces terres et proposer d'autres usages, d'autres finalités.Quelle est la situation des terres en France ?Pourquoi la reprise de terres est-elle une stratégie importante pour vivre mieux ?Quelles sont les tactiques expérimentées pour mener à bien cet objectif ?Pour répondre à ces questions, je reçois Flaminia Paddeu et Tanguy Martin membres du collectif Reprise de terres.Crédit photo La friche du 6b à Saint-Denis _ © Le 6b
In this episode of the C-Suite for Christ Podcast, we're declaring war on the counterfeit religions of Communism and Antifa. A spiritual war is raging for the soul of our nation, fought not with tanks, but with ideologies that have a single mission: to dethrone God.This episode pulls back the mask on two of the enemy's most effective weapons: Communism and Antifa. These aren't just political theories; they are counterfeit religions, preaching a gospel of rebellion, envy, and chaos. From Marx's blood-soaked history to the modern-day riots in our streets, the same serpent is at work, promising utopia while delivering tyranny.We're here to arm you with the truth. To expose the lies disguised as "social justice" and "equity." And to call the church to stop whispering while the world burns.Buckle up. This isn't a political debate; it's spiritual warfare."For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." – Ephesians 6:12Episode Highlights:32:17 - You can't legislate love or redistribute righteousness. Only Christ can do that. Communism enslaves people economically. Antifa enslaves them emotionally. One binds the body, the other binds the mind. Both promise liberation and deliver slavery.43:16 - Antifa's tactics don't end with the riots of 2020. They've evolved. The group learned that you don't need to burn cities when you can burn reputations. Cancel Culture is Antifa's digital weapon. Social pressure is its firebomb. Today they don't wear masks in March; they wear HR badges and moderate your social media.54:23 - Silence in the face of evil is not neutrality, it's surrender. Speaking truth in love is not hate speech, it's hope speech. The most loving thing you can do for someone lost in deception is to tell them the truth.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

**Note: Nick and I have been doing a new show behind our respective paywalls, Pod Kapital, going through the new translation of Marx's Capital published by Princeton University Press. We had originally envisioned it as short-run series but after the tremendous response we have received from listeners, we have decided to make the show permanent. At this point, most of the episodes are locked but we will be figuring out ways to make future episodes accessible to non-Patrons in one way or another.** In this episode, we discuss Marx's chapter on cooperation. We also change the structure of our reading of Capital, slowing down and stretching out our study sessions. There's so much we want to cover. Consider supporting the show www.patreon.com/east_podcast
The PG crew tackles a classic Halloween movie that captured our hearts and bent our minds when we were in high school: Donnie Darko (2001). In writer/director Richard Kelly's coming-of-age sci-fi thriller, troubled teen Donnie (Jake Gyllenhaal) must decipher the apocalyptic visions he's been having before it's too late. We discuss the film's political backdrop of '80s/'00s conservatism, the primary plot and whether or not it makes sense, and its enduring relevance, dropping a Marx quote or two along the way.

In this episode of The History of the Papacy Podcast, Steve Guerra sits down with historian Andrew Hartman, author of Karl Marx in America, to explore how the revolutionary thinker’s ideas collided with the realities of 19th-century America. From Marx’s reflections on slavery and labor to his unlikely connection with Abraham Lincoln, the discussion reveals how debates about freedom, democracy, and class defined the American experience. What did Marx see in the U.S. and what did Lincoln see that Marx understood? #HistoryPodcast #KarlMarx #AbrahamLincoln #AndrewHartman #CivilWar #AmericanHistory #CatholicHistory #Marxism #IntellectualHistory #PhilosophyOfHistory Where to buy Karl Marx in America By Andrew Hartman: https://a.co/d/htMl94aSupport the show:Buy me a coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/historyofthepapacyPatreon: http://patreon.com/historyofthepapacyBuy me a book: http://bit.ly/40ckJ8EHave questions, comments or feedback?
