I agree with Richard entirely on new pop music

On the next episode, could you ask Richard why the USSR was not a degenerated workers state?

Not sure about that last paragraph by Pennan, unless we treat its slinky purpleness as a tribute to the man from Minneapolis. But even then?

Question for Richard for the next episode: why is the former USSR classified as a state capitalist state rather than a degenerate workers state? The DWS theory seems the more compelling.

Great episode as always. These really are worth the Patreon fee. Hope you get better soon Alex.

Was a bit surprised to hear about the death of the Syrian revolution without Rojava and the SDF coming up at all
