Episode notes

Maga communism became a trending hash tag on twitter. It's hard to define what this idea is, because it's almost a meam in a lot of ways. Rit different people are making all these threads saying, this is what manga communism is. I've seen like seven different threads that are multiple tweeds long of what it is.

Alyson and Breht reflect on the recent online stir caused by "MAGA Communism" and analyze the ideas of some of its main represenatives and proponents. Together they discuss and clarify core marxist concepts, criticize and explain the specific errors being made, shine light on its intellectual influences, explore its connection to previous iterations in american history (like the movement that formed around Lyndon LaRouche), laugh at the extremely predictable response they recieved from Trump supporters, and then they reflect on what it all means and what we can learn from it.
