We are two Marxist Feminists who are here to spread the word of Karl Marx and other theorists who shaped our world views through works of fiction. Kristen and Mariah felt as though many of the popular booktok accounts and podcasts lacked what we love most: Dialectical Materialism. This podcast is a labor of love to try to combat Red Scare propaganda and discuss topics we feel are necessary to achieve working class liberation from capitalism, patriarchy, white supremacy, settler colonialism, and more. We are not liberals, we are communists. Workers of the world unite! more

We created this podcast in recognition that there are a number of podcasts for the American 'left,' but many of them focus heavily on the organizing of social democrats, progressives, and liberal democrats. Aside from that, on the left we are always fighting a war of ideas and if we do not continue to build platforms to share those ideas and the stories of their implementation from a leftist perspective, they will continue to be ignored, misrepresented, and dismissed by the capitalist media and as a result by the general public. Our goal is to provide a platform for communists, anti-imperialists, Black Liberation movements, ancoms, left libertarians, LBGTQ activists, feminists, immigration activists, and abolitionists to discuss radical politics, radical organizing and share their visions for a better world. Our goal is to center organizers who represent and work with marginalized communities building survival programs, defense programs, political education, and counterpower. We also plan to bring in perspectives on and from the global south to highlight anti-capitalist struggles outside the imperial core. We view solidarity with decolonization, indigenous, anti-imperialist, environmentalist, socialist, and anarchist movements across the world as necessary steps toward meaningful liberation for all people. Too often within the imperial core we focus on our own struggles without taking the time to understand those fighting for freedom from beneath the empire's thumb. It is important to highlight these struggles, learn what we can from them, offer solidarity, and support with action when we can. It is not enough to Fight For $15 an hour and Single-Payer within the core, while the US actively fights against the self-determination of the people of the global economically and militarily. We recognize that except for the extremely wealthy and privileged, our fates and struggles are intrinsically connected. We hope that our podcast becomes a meaningful platform for organizers and activists fighting for social change to connect their local movements to broader movements centered around the fight to end imperialism, capitalism, racism, discrimination based on gender identity or sexuality, sexism, and ableism.

The 'evil of Communism' is a phrase often used to critique the ideology and its historical implementations, typically pointing to a mix of philosophical, economic, and human rights concerns. Critics argue that Communism, as envisioned by Marx and Engels—where private property is abolished, and the state controls production—leads to authoritarianism, economic stagnation, and widespread suffering. Let's break it down based on common arguments and historical examples, without pretending I've got some cosmic authority on good and evil.Philosophically, detractors say Communism denies individual freedom. The idea of collective ownership sounds noble—everyone shares, nobody starves—but in practice, it's enforced by a centralized power that crushes dissent to maintain 'equality.' Ayn Rand types call it a war on the self: you can't own what you make, so why bother innovating? The counter is that capitalism hoards wealth for a few, but critics fire back that at least it doesn't pretend everyone's the same.Historically, the rap sheet's long. Stalin's Soviet Union: forced collectivization in the 1930s killed millions through famine—Ukraine's Holodomor alone might've taken 4 million. Mao's Great Leap Forward: 20-45 million dead from starvation and overwork, depending on who's counting. Pol Pot's Cambodia: nearly 2 million executed or starved in a utopian reset. These aren't just 'mistakes'—critics say they're baked into Communism's DNA. When you try to engineer human nature out of people, resistance builds, and the state responds with gulags or mass graves. Data backs this: the Black Book of Communism estimates 94 million deaths tied to Communist regimes, though some scholars debate the tally's precision.Economically, it's a mess too. Central planning flops—look at the Soviet Union's bread lines or Venezuela's collapse. The idea's that smart guys in a room can outguess markets, but they can't. Prices signal demand; without them, you get shortages or useless surpluses. Cuba's got free healthcare, sure, but people still risk shark-infested waters to escape.Defenders say true Communism's never been tried—those were corrupt distortions. Marx didn't blueprint tyranny, just a classless endgame. Fair point: the manifesto's vague on execution. But critics counter that's the flaw—without a practical map, you're left with power vacuums that tyrants fill. more

The Communist Manifesto was conceived as an outline of the basic beliefs of the Communist movement. The authors believed that the European Powers were universally afraid of the nascent movement, and were condemning as 'communist,' people or activities that did not actually conform to what the Communists believed. This Manifesto, then, became a manual for their beliefs.In it we find Marx and Engel's rehearsal of the idea that Capital has stolen away the work of the artisan and peasant by building up factories to produce goods cheaply. The efficiency of Capital depends, then, on the wage laborers who staff the factories and how little they will accept in order to have work. This concentrates power and money in a Bourgeois class that profits from the disunity of workers (Proletarians), who only receive a subsistence wage.If workers unite in a class struggle against the bourgeois, using riot and strikes as weapons, they will eventually overthrow the bourgeois and replace them as a ruling class. Communists further believe in and lay out a system of reforms to transform into a classless, stateless society, thus distinguishing themselves from various flavors of Socialism, which would be content to have workers remain the ruling class after the revolution.The Manifesto caused a huge amount of discussion for its support for a forcible overthrow of the existing politics and society. more

Karl Marx's Capital: A Critical Analysis of Capitalist Production is a critical analysis of the political economy or the capitalist system. In this 3 volume work, he says that a capitalist economy can only survive by exploiting the working class. The concepts discussed in this book laid the foundations of the political doctrine that would later be known as communism. This book has three volumes, the first volume is Marx's critical analysis of the capitalist mode of production and how it's effects on poor people. The second volume of Capital was subtitled 'The Process of Circulation of Capital.' It contains his analysis of the marketplace, how value and surplus value are made and his views about what a capitalist or entrepreneur is. The last volume of the work was actually just a collection of notes by Karl Marx compiled by his close friend Friedrich Engels. There are seven parts in this volume which basically summarize the important points of the first two parts of the book. It's the most read part of the book today. Capital was very critical of the different principles of classical economics which was the prevailing school of thought at that time. It was published when Karl Marx already had a well established reputation thus provoking a big debate among academics after its release. The principles explained in this book had a big influence in the development of the communist doctrine. This book was written in a academic way and is meant to be read by someone with a foundational knowledge of economics. Although, communism has long faded in the stage of world politics, this book is still a very important reference to people who study political science and economics or those who are just interested in knowing more about the different types of economies. more

'I Was a Communist for the FBI' was an American old-time radio show that aired from 1952 to 1954. The program is based on the true experiences of Matt Cvetic, an undercover agent who infiltrated the Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA) on behalf of the FBI in the early Cold War period. Cvetic's real-life espionage and its dramatization were used as a means to expose and highlight the perceived threats of communism during the height of American anti-communist sentiment.The show was produced by Ziv Television Programs and was a serialized drama, with each episode presenting a standalone story about Cvetic's dangerous life as an undercover agent within the Communist Party. The series dramatized various assignments Cvetic undertook, depicting his efforts to thwart the communists' plans while maintaining his cover and dealing with the emotional and moral dilemmas of leading a double life.Dana Andrews, known for his roles in films like 'Laura' and 'The Best Years of Our Lives,' starred as Matt Cvetic. The show was notable for its opening announcement: 'I was a Communist for the FBI. I walk alone,' which set the tone for the dramatic and suspenseful nature of the episodes.The series also spawned a 1951 film titled 'I Was a Communist for the FBI,' which received an Academy Award nomination for Documentary Feature, although it was a dramatized narrative feature, not a documentary.'I Was a Communist for the FBI' was part of a broader cultural and media trend during the early Cold War that included books, films, and other radio shows that depicted communists and Soviet agents as villains, reflecting the fears and politics of the era. The show remains a fascinating example of how media was used to influence public perception and serve political agendas during a tense period of American history.for moreinfo https://www.quietperiodplease.com/ more
