Hey y'all! We're back in the Enemy Camp and ‘cross the Mason-Dixon with C Derick Varn, where we sip on some sweet tea and take a gander at the 1854 reactionary tract "Sociology for the South" by George Fitzhugh. Marvel at what just might be the nuttiest Enemy Camp we ever did see—a Dixiecrat who defends slavery as a form of socialism. Finish the War of Northern Aggression! http://patreon.com/swampsidechats http://emancipation.network Read along with us: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1W8RfRHMsWegBdVcNpelMBXkzkunX6moZ

The Gang takes a trip down memory lane to a simpler time—2007! We read “28 Theses on Class Society” by Friends of the Classless Society from the first issue of Kosmoprolet and discover what critical communist theory was like before the financial crisis.

In the latest installment of our Not One Step Back reading series, we look at Domenico Losurdo's "Towards a Critique of the Category of Totalitarianism" and as a bonus we look at the RCP's "Re-envisioning Revolution and Communism: WHAT IS BOB AVAKIAN’S NEW SYNTHESIS?" a piece (probably) written by Avakian himself.

This week we discuss two pieces by Amartya Sen: "Ingredients of Famine Analysis; Availability and Entitlements," and "Hunger and Public Action" the second one being co-written with Jean Dreze

Recorded a few weeks ago, we talk about Jeffrey Epstein and the then recent DSA convention.

We conclude our conversation with the General Intellect Unit on Stafford Beer's lecture series "Designing Freedom"

The Gang welcomes General Intellect Unit for the first part of our epic cybernetic Bonapartist adventure with Stafford Beer's 1973 lecture series "Designing Freedom". Not one step back! http://patreon.com/generalintellectunit http://patreon.com/swampsidechats http://emancipation.network

We conclude our conversation on Mike Davis' latest book "Old Gods, New Enigmas."

For our 100th episode we look at the title essay from Mike Davis' latest book, "Old Gods, New Enigmas: Notes on Revolutionary Agency."

This week, The Gang has their collective consciousness uploaded to a Bonapartist cloud where they'll be eternally on the forced march through James Steinhoff’s 2014 essay, “Transhumanism and Marxism”. Not one step back! http://patreon.com/swampsidechats http://swampside.chat
