In this episode, I talk to the notorious Black Red Guard (BRG) about Maoism, Organizing in the DSA, and other Commie Gobbledegook.
In the Backroom, BRG talks about Religion and Communism, The Nation of Islam, MAGA Communism, and the most bizarre niche strands of Maoism, such as “Gonzalo thought” and the Peruvian Communist Party (AKA The Shining Path of Peru).
