Arrighi is good but a tough read (I got through about 100 pages before I tapped out). I've been reading Hegemony and Socialist Strategy recently, and while it's also tough it is holding me a bit better. It could be that I need to revisit Arrighi given how I'm doing with this current book.

There are critiques of Marxist writings that have merit, but they're from modern post-marxist scholars who are still socialists and still desire to see communism happen, they just think the underground of Marxist philosophy made mistakes in what they wrote regarding class analysis.
They did it twice!
Swampside Chats. Their bio:
"This is Swampside Chats. The podcast where communists shoot the shit about current events, history, political economy, and theory."
Some of it, much of it, goes over my head, but they're still entertaining to listen to as they discuss books. It's mostly books these days.
That's fucked up. I hope she's okay.
Dan occasionally does get that proper vim in him, but otherwise I agree.
Dan, I'm not sure how he stays detached. Jordan I think has gotten more detached from his anger and fear over these things, and I think it's his insane number of hobbies and all the vacations he's taken.
What happened to the other two hosts of Trillbillies?
There's ..... 852 episodes. My recommendation is start from the beginning to get the full story.
Wacky Wednesdays, when they start doing those, are so fun.
The Deposition Episodes are incredible and would be good to listen to, but not their usual format.
Old Nazis, the New Right, and the Republican Party is great research on exactly this.
Don't forget unbound on top of the pihole.
Also yes, and I'd basically given up on them. I'll try them on soulseek.
Except Miyazaki rejected his Marxists beliefs long ago, while making Nausicaa. So whole he makes these statements, he has no ideological underpinning that would give him an idea of a way forward.
