Teach Me Communism

Christine’s the teacher this week, and they’re talking about the life and times of Ito Noe, Japanese feminist author and anarchist. We learn about the Meiji and Taisho eras of Japan as well as what happens when you mix an oppressive imperial state with a budding anarchist movement. Hint: it doesn't end well.   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, and this time, we’re trying to make heads or TAILS of George Orwell’s allegory for when communism goes wrong. Grady gives us some of Orwell’s background and clarifies the historical parallels made in the book. Christine hates a donkey and loves ribbons.   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!

What do Medievalism, wallpapers, and socialism have in common? They were all interests of one William Morris, noted British designer and activist. We talk art, religion, environmentalism, and of course, leftist drama.   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!

Updated version! Christine accidentally uploaded the raw cut of this, so here's the actual finished version without bathroom breaks and bad audio quality. Sorry ya'll!

We also have wine and discuss the state of the left.

Another trip to the mailbag to answer some questions about: the spectrum between workers and bosses, another interpretation of the Borg, vaccine mandates, a closer look at the Hue Massacre, veganism, and when to fully devote yourself to the cause.   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!

Co-ops: What are they, how are they structured, how do they work? What's the difference between a consumer-owned or worker-owned co-op? Are they good for the cause?

The title sounds like a setup for a bad Halloween joke, but in this episode, we're taking a look at a Philosophy Tube video called Witchraft, Gender, and Marxism. If this sounds like the perfect combination of topics for Christine to sink their teeth into, you are correct. Happy Halloween! (^w^) That is a pumpkin emoticon.   Check us out on social media: Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/teach-me-communism?ref_id=24617&utm_campaign=24617&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=Teach%2BMe%2BCommunism  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!
