How did a sweeping socialist epic focusing on poor immigrant workers end up being primarily known as the yucky book about meat production? We discuss this labor classic by Upton Sinclair as well as the graphic novel adaptation by Kristina Gehrmann.   Check us out on social media: Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/teach-me-communism?ref_id=10068 Instagram: @teachmecommunism Twitter: @teachcommunism Gmail: [email protected] Patreon: Patreon.com/teachmecommunism  And like and subscribe to us at Teach Me Communism on YouTube!   Solidarity forever!

Labor actions and their revolutionary potential, everybody’s a spy, the shrimp heart attack gun, Christine’s commie alien theory, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Tom Cotton’s threats against protestors, plus our recent TV watches and the limits of pacifism.   Check us out on social media: Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/teach-me-communism?ref_id=10068 Instagram: @teachmecommunism Twitter: @teachcommunism Gmail: [email protected] Patreon: Patreon.com/teachmecommunism  And like and subscribe to us at Teach Me Communism on YouTube!   Solidarity forever!

We take a look at some novellas by Becky Chambers: A Psalm for the Wild-Built and A Prayer for the Crown-Shy. These books explore a unique eco-friendly utopia with some interesting socialist characteristics! Plus, we choose our robot names.   Check us out on social media: Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/teach-me-communism?ref_id=10068 Instagram: @teachmecommunism Twitter: @teachcommunism Gmail: [email protected] Patreon: Patreon.com/teachmecommunism  And like and subscribe to us at Teach Me Communism on YouTube!   Solidarity forever!

We’re back with our bud Kenny to talk media criticism: History Channel re-enactments, classic movie musicals, craft versus consistency, the Octopus Murders, A24’s new Civil War movie, the Sopranos, Platonic, and overly friendly user experiences. Plus: the best insults from Latin American politicians, Obama-era fumbles, meditation tips, and as always, some utopian talk.   Apologies for the sound quality in this one. We had a lot of dog noises and Christine sounds like they’re recording in a distant, tinny tunnel.   Check us out on social media: Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/teach-me-communism?ref_id=10068 Instagram: @teachmecommunism Twitter: @teachcommunism Gmail: [email protected] Patreon: Patreon.com/teachmecommunism  And like and subscribe to us at Teach Me Communism on YouTube!   Solidarity forever!

We’re back to finish up our tale of how a rural country went from subsistence agriculture to amazing feats like reaching full literacy, building whole new towns, and even going to space! But despite all the cool things they did for their people, the Mongolian leadership still somehow had plenty of times for schemes, backstabbing, and purges.   Check us out on social media: Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/teach-me-communism?ref_id=10068 Instagram: @teachmecommunism Twitter: @teachcommunism Gmail: [email protected] Patreon: Patreon.com/teachmecommunism  And like and subscribe to us at Teach Me Communism on YouTube!   Solidarity forever!

We talk the royal soap opera, UAW unions, the Boeing whistleblower, hate crimes, posting your dating Ls, the usual war crime coverage, and the 32-hour work week. Oh and a little bit of guillotine and Edison talk, for fun.   Check us out on social media: Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/teach-me-communism?ref_id=10068 Instagram: @teachmecommunism Twitter: @teachcommunism Gmail: [email protected] Patreon: Patreon.com/teachmecommunism  And like and subscribe to us at Teach Me Communism on YouTube!   Solidarity forever!

Follow the tale of Mongolia from Ghengis to imperialism to theocracy, to a MAD BARON??? And finally, revolution!

This week’s topic: tricky Dick Nixon, library anxiety, teacher pronouns, Biden’s “superfans”, the healthcare death machine, moondoggles, trad wives, and your classic philosophical ranting.   Check us out on social media: Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/teach-me-communism?ref_id=10068 Instagram: @teachmecommunism Twitter: @teachcommunism Gmail: [email protected] Patreon: Patreon.com/teachmecommunism  And like and subscribe to us at Teach Me Communism on YouTube!   Solidarity forever!

We talk about a completely off the rails movie about terrible Soviet invasion plans, hunky teen freedom fighters, and overall very bad politics.   Check us out on social media: Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/teach-me-communism?ref_id=10068 Instagram: @teachmecommunism Twitter: @teachcommunism Gmail: [email protected] Patreon: Patreon.com/teachmecommunism  And like and subscribe to us at Teach Me Communism on YouTube!   Solidarity forever!
