Teach Me Communism

We’re very excited to introduce a new feature to our Patreon notes: illustrations by Christine! We’re still figuring out exactly how this will work, so pardon the pen scratching noises in the background. Our first edition of these notes will be made a public post so you all can take a look. Take a look and a listen to learn about the German Democratic Republic.   Check us out on social media: Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/teach-me-communism?ref_id=10068 Instagram: @teachmecommunism Twitter: @teachcommunism Gmail: teachmecommunism@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/teachmecommunism  And like and subscribe to us at Teach Me Communism on YouTube!   Solidarity forever!

We talk about the revolutionary potential of… a stop motion animated children’s movie from 2000? Yes, that’s right, it’s Chicken Run! Come to Coop 17 to get the scoop on getting organized, being ready when the moment strikes, and just how far we can stretch a metaphor.   Check us out on social media: Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/teach-me-communism?ref_id=10068 Instagram: @teachmecommunism Twitter: @teachcommunism Gmail: teachmecommunism@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/teachmecommunism  And like and subscribe to us at Teach Me Communism on YouTube!   Solidarity forever!

Mail call! We get into many questions and many answers, including doctors, city planning, maximalism, pre-industrial cultures, distribution, and more!   Check us out on social media: Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/teach-me-communism?ref_id=10068 Instagram: @teachmecommunism Twitter: @teachcommunism Gmail: teachmecommunism@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/teachmecommunism  And like and subscribe to us at Teach Me Communism on YouTube!   Solidarity forever!

It’s the thrilling conclusion of our first ever three-part episode, Stalin’s biography! Christine starts us off with another dramatic recap. Then we dive right into WWII. We zoom through a lot of history in this one before we give our concluding thoughts on this very complicated dude.   Check us out on social media: Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/teach-me-communism?ref_id=10068 Instagram: @teachmecommunism Twitter: @teachcommunism Gmail: teachmecommunism@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/teachmecommunism  And like and subscribe to us at Teach Me Communism on YouTube!   Solidarity forever!

We’re back for part 2 of our Stalin episode! This goes over some economic plans, rapid collectivization and industrialization, and uh, some really not great stuff like purges. This episode ran a little long so we decided to cut it off right at the start of WWII. Tune in next time for part 3. Oh and enjoy Christine’s weird Will Arnett impression they use for recaps.   Check us out on social media: Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/teach-me-communism?ref_id=10068 Instagram: @teachmecommunism Twitter: @teachcommunism Gmail: teachmecommunism@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/teachmecommunism  And like and subscribe to us at Teach Me Communism on YouTube!   Solidarity forever!

This week has been… a lot, to say the least, so we needed a space to vent. We fantasize about a pro-choice utopia, lay down rules for good communists, and for some reason go on a tangent dunking on British food. Reminder to be careful about privacy when researching abortion options and to support local abortion funds in your area. Stay safe out there, ya’ll.   Check us out on social media: Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/teach-me-communism?ref_id=10068 Instagram: @teachmecommunism Twitter: @teachcommunism Gmail: teachmecommunism@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/teachmecommunism  And like and subscribe to us at Teach Me Communism on YouTube!   Solidarity forever!

We finally get to THAT GUY! Part one includes his early life all the way up to his rise to power in 1930. Topics include his folksy charm, Red Clippy, and ideas for a (totally) fictional revolution. Apologies for the slightly wonky audio quality; in person recordings are always a little more echoey for us.   Check us out on social media: Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/teach-me-communism?ref_id=10068 Instagram: @teachmecommunism Twitter: @teachcommunism Gmail: teachmecommunism@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/teachmecommunism  And like and subscribe to us at Teach Me Communism on YouTube!   Solidarity forever!

In this episode we discuss democracy! What even is it? We talk about various leftist approaches to real democracy, the potential pitfalls of democracy and how to address them, and, of course, we put on our utopian dreamer hats and figure out how we would do things.   Check us out on social media: Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/teach-me-communism?ref_id=10068 Instagram: @teachmecommunism Twitter: @teachcommunism Gmail: teachmecommunism@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/teachmecommunism  And like and subscribe to us at Teach Me Communism on YouTube!   Solidarity forever!

Join us and our big glasses of wine as we chat about a really not good thing: fascism! Whose idea was this anyway? Plus, dog art, bad French pronunciations and WWI time travel theories!   Check us out on social media: Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/teach-me-communism?ref_id=10068 Instagram: @teachmecommunism Twitter: @teachcommunism Gmail: teachmecommunism@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/teachmecommunism  And like and subscribe to us at Teach Me Communism on YouTube!   Solidarity forever!
