In Defense of Liberation

In this episode we talk about the problems facing working Americans today. But we also talk about the hundreds of years of colonialism and imperialism which has allowed us to be “free” in comparison to literal enslavement by the Imperialist powers of billions of people world round.

We talk through the idea of dialectics, talk about the importance of history and the study of materialism!! A bit more philosophical than usual, but I hope you like it!!

Hi talked about the need for science in any discussion of socialism, and how they cannot be anything except for what the people need

I talk about the need for organization, the cognitive dissonance and complete removal of self from reality that is so common here in America and how it’s affecting us as a people. I also talk about the need for education for all peoples!

It’s really all there in the title guys, but I just basically talk about how frustrating it is that we’re so disorganized as a left in America, and then just some other stuff.

In this episode we go a bit more into the philosophical side of things than some of my more frequent viewers might be used to. But I have recently been really drilling into theory, both in itself and also contemporary analysis of different theories. I have began to really try to educate myself as much as I can, and even in the last two weeks have changed so much in my thinking and analysis, but th...

In this episode I talk about my new book I wrote, and what it’s about. I also talk about why so many people both distrust and hate the government, and why that is. Plus a brief talk about scientific socialism and the necessity for its immediate implementation

In this I talk about my (hopefully) upcoming book titled "Liberation is Irresistible" which got its inspiration from the many works of both Vijay Prashad and Nick Estes, two incredibly intelligent and never-stopping liberation fighters. We discuss the nature of my book, and in specifics, some of the obstacles to such Liberation.  I hope you enjoy!

We’re stoned and talking that’s all you need to know

In this episode we take inspiration from the latest episode of Guerilla History with Vijay Prashad. They were speaking about how arming the masses is more than providing them with guns, it's with the necessary tools to create a new and better society. So we hit on that and why that is so difficult in the US, for many different reasons, and a few sidetrack convos along the way. Cause would it reall...

Me and my buddy Eddie come on the show to talk about some election that happened last week, I think. Also, we talk about how and why organizing is extremely important, how it can be helpful, what to focus on when organizing, and a lot of other stuff along the way, hope you enjoy!

We’re talking about all the much more important stuff rather than the election. And also, the election

So I was going to do a blog talking about everything going on and how it points out blatant contradictions within our society in comparison to what our society is served up as (ie: a People's Democracy, or at the very least a democratic state) but then my hands hurt so I did a pod and it turned out way better. I talked about a bunch of other stuff too, give it a listen!

We talk about how capitalism, as theorized by people such as Karl Marx, ultimately will lead towards the separation of people through the means of exchange. While commodities are meant to build or continue social relations, the progression of Capitalism is away from that truth, with things like automation, or realistically the segmentation of the production process of anything, will lead us to see...

yer

I’m driving, I’m vibin and I’m thinking about how to organize and help my local community. Come along!

an old friend of mine from way back when hops on the pod to try to bring me to the side of Capitalism. If you want an entertaining listen, this is the one for you! (Headphone users beware) Uh, yeah. Other than that I don't really have much info, uhhhh this is awkward.  I'm going to go now

good friend of the show eddie liger smith came on to talk about a bunch of different topics, Marxism, tiktok, Marxism, the works! Follow the man on his socials! Insta: @midwesternmarx. Tiktok: @eddieligersmith. Website: midwesternmarx.com

I'm currently forcing myself to check my ignorance and ego and begin to learn some more, because at the end of the day I started this podcast to educate myself and those who want to learn along with me, so here's this. We go over two of the very first lessons of Marx, the commodity and use vs exchange value. I think it's a really easy listen and something that many of us should care more to learn!...

We talk about how liberalism (classical), neo-liberalism and what I would call deep friend, chocolate dipped Liberalism (aka American Liberalism) and how they plus capitalism = doodooshit

I hate descriptions ahhhhhh idk what to put we talk about current events i think I fart at one point in the recording and forgot to edit it out so don't mention that also someone tell my grandma that jesus isn't on his way

read the title. it's a good time, though 

we talk about how obscene it is that liberals and conservatives both have no idea what's going on but also think they (individually) are the only ones who do. With all the evidence to the contrary available, how do they square their thoughts away?

some news, I talk about some stuff, I think it's a funny bit, i don't know. Then I talk about Libertarianism a bit. 

me and the boy do an episode talking about all things third party, it's history, how it's influenced elections, some current third party candidates and much more on this episode, originally posted a week or so ago (sorry) Check it out! also check out soundcloud.com/carpet-and-cork
