In this week's episode of the 1Dime Radio podcast, friend of the show C. Derick Varn (@VarnVlog) returns to discuss whether America under Trump is heading towards fascism and, more importantly, what the differences are between Fascism, Caesarism, and Bonapartism.
In The Backroom exclusive segment on Patreon, Varn and I talk about the politics of dating, sex, dating apps, and what I call "Neoliberal Sex Politics." Become a Patron at Patreon.com/OneDime if you haven’t already!
