In this episode, we sat down with the man, the myth, the legend: Grover Furr himself. We chatted about his newest book, Stalin: Waiting for...the Truth, which is a clap-back at Stephen Kotkin's dishonest biography "Stalin: Waiting for Hitler". We also talked about Anti-communism in general, as well as the importance of Stalin's legacy and why he isn't, as many people accuse him of, a "Stalin apologist." It's spicy as hell, so buckle up.   If you haven't already, go to www.prolespod.com or you can help the show improve over at www.patreon.com/prolespod and in return can get access to our spicy discord, exclusive episodes, guest appearances, etc.!

In this session auni, Comrade Jess, beetlejuice16 (Fayez), comrade cangetajobS, JoeySteel, Landlord_Executioner, and 2Hotsky4Tr*tsky finish their discussion on the first chapter of Capital by Karl Marx.   This time we discuss the evolution from the elemantary or accidental form of value to the money form and commodity fetishism. Here are companion books, podcasts, reading guides and stuff we mentioned in the episode:  David Harvey's "Reading Marx's Capital" lectures and his companion book Ben Fine and Alfredo Saad-Filho's Marx's Capital David and Nathan's podcast Marx Madness and their first episode Robert Paul Wolff's lectures on Marx David Graeber's Debt: The First 5000 Years Rosa Luxemburg's The Accumulation of Capital - Chapter 04 Corrections: We meant the Palau people, when the Tonga were mentioned. There was a misquote from Harvey's companion about Adam Smith, so here is the right one: "In Smith's ideal world, the state would create the institutional framework for perfectly functioning markets and private property and then watch the wealth of the state and the welfare of the citizenry rapidly improve as individual initiative and entrepreneurialism coordinated through the hidden hand of the market would produce a result that was beneficial to all. In such a world, Smith thought, the intentions and motivations of individuals (varying from greed to social mission) did not matter, because the hidden hand of the market would do the work."
