Description

Listen to the Part 2 "MAGA Communism" episode in The Backroom exclusive podcast on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OneDime


In this episode of the 1Dime Radio podcast, I am joined by the theorist, writer, and Marxist podcast veteran C. Derick Varn (Who runs the podcast channel "Varn Vlog") to discuss the complicated, bizarre history of certain tendencies on the contemporary Western left, such as neo-Stalinism, Dengism, old and new Maoism, Trotskyism, and "MAGA Communism." We also discuss the history of people on the left shifting to the right, Varn's own political journey from right to left, and his disagreements with different leftist groups like the Platypus Affiliated Society.
