I stopped listening to the Antifada after Jaime Peck left and the podcast went full leftcom/chinabad. Have they mellowed out in that respect?
For antifada I stopped when they read out this formal pre-written statement about Palestine in one episode. It seemed like they were walking on eggshells (with their audience?) and I didn't understand why. Varn and Sean also said Michael Hudson is antisemitic when he talks about finance capitalism. They're weird on foreign policy. They had good strike news update episodes though. I'll check this ep though, one for old time's sake.
That's wild. Imagine the first thing you think when someone brings up finance capitalism is "hey, it sounds like they're talking about Jewish people!" and then blaming them for being antisemitic
So so so so SO so many permutations of many such cases. It's hilarious.
Best podcast for strike news updates is Work Stoppage. Consistently good analysis and zero anticommunist takes
I haven't picked up on any of that but I don't know much about leftcom stuff so I'm not the best person to ask. I think they have the most insightful materialist and class analysis of all leftist podcasts in my rotation. They also have an org and they host regular meetings irl which should be the bare minimum for any leftist podcast but none of the other podcasts are doing that.
