“stalin this stalin that” the guy died in the 50s while their favorite “socialist” country is a white cracker country that exploits the global south and does eugenics.

I listened to one episode of that like two days ago because they were doing a reading snd analysis of a mark fisher essay (mark fisher has recently become a love/hate obsession of mine since I finished capitalist realism), it seems pretty ok. They’ve done a series about reading State and Revolution but one of the members is in DSA so :shrug-outta-hecks: . I’d say it’s probably more good than it is bad

Yeah, I’m not too attached to them having the “correct” opinion of a Soviet leader who died before my parents were born.

Frankly, I find Trots and LeftComs, who at least agree Lenin and the pre-Stalin USSR were cool and good, preferable to radlibs who denounce “Soviet-style socialism”.

I think Jamie and antifada Sean would fit in that the former here, but it’s been a while since I’ve listened to anything either has said. Not that I find them particularly bad, there’s just a lot of slop out there and I got shit to do.

I think its really about the theory involved. If you denounce Stalin, you’re trying to also denounce all of Marxism Leninism, its people, and its projects. There is critique, and then there is just throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Do you know about Trash Future? they’re weird and English, but one of them used to do book club episodes. this one is an examination and commentary on Mark Fisher and “K-Punk”, a book of some of Fisher’s unfinished works.
