The Antifada

In this very special Antifada offering, Andy, Jamie and Sean are joined by your favorite sons: Matt Christman and Virgil Texas of Chapo Trap House.

Gang begins by addressing the central questions of our hyper-digital age: what if God friended you on Facebook? Is QAnon just a benign hobby for bored Boomers? And, holy shit, what if GOD WAS QANON?

Matt, Virgil and Jamie reveal - for the very first time - their respective political tendencies...

Jamie, Sean, and Andy are joined by militant documentarian Brandon Jourdan of globaluprisings.org.

Brando discusses life as an expat, the indymedia network, and his four seconds of fame in Boots Riley's smash hit "Sorry to Bother You."

The crew plays clips from Brando and his partner Marianne Maeckelbergh's films on uprisings in Spain, Turkey and the US...

Gang talks Notorious F.F.P. (Francis Fox Piven) and Glen Beck's hate-on for her. Wilson breaks down the true origins and political economy of frozen, alcoholic street drinks. We all lament, as usual, that NYC is way lamer than it used to be. Jamie spills more tea on the neoliberal nightmare of Ozy Fest. More here: https://www.rollingstone...

This week we are joined by returning guest Niral Shah (@NiralShah) and Soviet agent Alex Gendler (@Achilleselbow) to talk music and Musk. (No Andy this week...he's away at commie camp polluting his mind with cultural Marxism.) Nazi numerology. Abolish ICE, but only after one last special deportation. Epic hangovers. A highbrow review of the David Bowie exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum with an emphasis on his coke spoon and dick...

After a relaxing day drinking nutcrackers at the beach, Aaron of the ISO and the Antifada crew hit the studio to podcast and chill. Our hate was impure. Then things went horribly wrong.

We start on a bright enough note with DSA's Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez's stunning victory in the BX/QNS primary. The usual back and forth about leftists and electoralism yada yada yada.

Next, the destruction of Weird NYC. The structurally reactionary nature of the judiciary...

Brett from Revolutionary Left Radio and The Guillotine joins The Antifada in a special collaborative episode to discuss the current state of the US left and the future of global capitalism!

We had a blast talking with our new friend and comrade. If you dig the unabashedly anti-capitalist Antifada, you'll be sure to enjoy Brett's open-minded (but critical and uncompromising) discussions on politics, economics and culture...

We finish out our discussion on race, identity politics, organizing, and DSA. Then the crew punches left by dragging on socialist thinker Elon Musk.

In part one of a monster episode, we sit down with Justin Charles of North Brooklyn DSA and the AfroSocialists and Socialists of Color Caucus. Sean is scarred by a perilous bus journey. Rachel Maddow and the libs freak out about potential peace (oh no!) on the Korean Peninsula. Democrats 'Russia Russia Russia' themselves into becoming the NatSec party...

On this special premium episode of the Antifada, we take a bunch of questions from our Patreon subscribers...

The AF crew takes on Jonathan Chait's recent word turd: the things he's wrong about re: "the radical left," as well as the things he's right about but which are actually fine. We discuss the latest labor uprisings in France and the ridiculous choice of Nazi lady vs. neoliberal POS...which leads to a spirited game of "fuck, marry, kill" complete with Justin Trudeau conspiracy theory. Finally we talk about the Dead Kennedys and Jello Biafra for some reason...
