On the other hand, the skill share ad feels right at home.
SkillShare must ask Allah for forgiveness and declare ☝️ ﷽
I happen to kinda like SkillShare.

Hexbear is no longer a

What a good day to speak arabic
Might I beg for a summary?
The episode is only 3 minutes long, I'll subtitle it
Please!
tagging won't work, tag the other person
in the video they mention this channel https://www.youtube.com/@police-security
@Dessa@hexbear.net got the tagging to work
Thank you, that was great. I loved just how sensible and normal their advice was.
And remember:
The problem with the west bank is that they do uncoordinated unprofessional attacks

Yooooo, thanks! I saw the "corpselike" position mentioned. What is that, like supine (on back)?
Yeah
In the thumbnail, I thought there were a couple of cats talking to each other. Maybe a little disappointed.
Honestly, there aren't many good ML podcasts, I feel, or even leftist ones...
Not many... but I have recently found three in particular that I enjoy, in case anyone wants suggestions.
If you speak portuguese or want to read (the subtitles are mostly ok), theres a weekly political analisys by a brazilian communist party. Its the best thing i find online in pt, es, en and it. If you want i can send you the link
Brazil has really good communists nowadays 🙌
Most communist parties in Brasil are alligned with imperialism, in part or as a whole. But PCO is grassroots communism, no academic bullshit or consessions for the burguersie. They talk to the people, defend palestine in actions (not just Internet posting), defend the working class etc etc. Lenin would be overhelmed with proud
They're reactionary trots and politically irrelevant. UP and the PCB are the two decent ones.
Neither of them sided with Hamas afaik, but if they did its a good surprise

I definitely don’t mean the “communist” parties. But PCO is… kinda Trotskyist no? And kinda conservative, anti-LGBTQ movements and such.
They are not kinda trotskyists, they are trotskyists. They are not conservadores, they are the most progressive party in the country. They are for right to abortion, legalization of drugs, same sex marriage, end of exploitation of woman, etc etc. What they are against (and thats where people get those ideas you pointed) is censorship, and in Brasil you have lots (and if you count the famous ones, all of them) of indentitarian movements infiltrated by CIA agenda points, asking to sendo people to jail amd censor them. A good example is the minister for human rights: Police gets into the slums and kill 30 people (guess their color) he says nothing, but some guy calls a fuebol player a monkey and he asks for the guy to be imprisioned. They defended gay people way before it was cooler, way before CIA took the movement over. Theres a particular case when a researcher found out that a very important person from the black movement (from the colonization time) was gay. People from the Black movement got pissed and asked for him to be censored and even beaten. PCO didnt agree with his thesis but they defended his right to say that and offered to shield him from the aggressions. The point is, their agenda is to bring forth communism, and it includes freedom of speech. When people ask them to betray this objective in order to support some identitarian movement thats asking for censorship, they say no. Does that make them anti lgbt?
Send me the link, though I probably won't be able to understand it.
Still, I can maybe recommend it to other people.

MONDAYS - International analysis (with a nationalist Navy Commander from Br)
TUESDAYS - Minor political analysis (BR + worldwide)
THURSDAY - Marxist theorical classes (today was about the development of the russian revolution early years and its ideological consequences)
SATURDAY - Major political analysis (BR + worldwide)
Id just like to add that they recently visited Hamas in Catar for a series of interviews. They are serious about what they do
Amazing!
Thank you!

Sure, I'm interested

Okay, so:
The Black Casebook
Collective Action Comics
We're Not So Different
Aaaaaannnd that's about it. Communist podcasts. There you go.
All on Spotify or Google Podcasts.
Or on most podcast platforms, as far as I can tell.
Oh yeah, and I'll throw in Against Japanism. Kinda ultra that one, but actually new information and new topics, I feel.
Plus, ProlesPod is coming back soon and they have their "a re-introduction" episode.
But eh, I'm trying to promote obscure or small-time podcasters, not podcasters that will probably strike it big (and strike it big again, in the case of ProlesPod).
I have a list somewhere too.
We're Not So Different
I recently started listening to WNSD, and while I knew the hosts are unapologetically leftists, I didn't know they were MLs. I'm enjoying the hell out of it, so that's a fun surprise.
They're on Hexbear, I believe.
No way! If you're reading this, hi Dr. Janega and Luke! Love the show
Yeah, I think at least Luke is on here, but I could be wrong.

Podcasting Is Praxis is not a big brain theory podcast but they're by far the best and funniest current events/general banter comedy podcast I've come across. I'm pretty sure they're mostly ML, they certainly channel a lot of the same energy as Hexbear does.
A People's History Of Ideas tells the history of the Chinese revolution in extreme detail and the guy doing it is a Maoist. If you are the kind of person who like to know the minutuae of how safehouses were operated in Shanghai in the 1920's this is the place to look. Interspersed with the revolutionary history episodes is the occasional episode on Gonzaloism or oral histories from people who visited China during the Mao years. It's good albeit a little dry.

what criteria do you use to define "good"?
One that doesn't really retread old ground or talk about the same stuff the other ones are talking about.
Also, one that isn't just back-slapping their guests and never questioning them. Or simply agreeing with other leftists. Ones that promote debate and new ideas.
Among other things, of course.
I don't like the guests on the Deprogram and Rev Left Radio has gone downhill, as a Russian friend told me, so I steer clear from the "popular" or "top" ones nowadays.
Rev Left Radio has gone downhill, as a Russian friend told me
What do you mean by this? Why would a 'Russian friend' tell you about rev left instead of you just listening to it? Are you just seething because Brett has the correct anti-imperialist line?
that's 100% it Pluto is basically an American lib the way he talks about Russia
Yes, everyone who has a remotely different opinion from you is mad and seething regardless of how they’re presenting said opinion.
