Few unrelated questions:
Does anyone know of any decent podcasts that are Marxist/socialist and discuss things from a religious perspective?
Do we have any non-western world news websites that can be suggested, I need something that stays up to date with the news around the world, , it doesn’t have to be specifically leftist in branding, I need something that’s a bit more broad than cgtn and China Daily but less fucking awful than Al Jazeera and RT, maybe rt is the best I’ll get, who knows?
Does anyone have any suggestions for non-western Marxist psychologists and psychological theory?
I’m not expecting one person to know this, but just some general topics I’d like to engage in.
If you’re looking for a Christian perspective podcast, there’s Faith and Capital. I’ve only listened to a couple episodes myself, but I liked it well enough. I think the creators are Maoists though, so bear that in mind.
Thanks, I actually started listening to them like a week ago, and the guy seems great with his reading and such, but damn was he shoving Maoism as the only true form of socialist theory down the listeners throat, like I’m really partial to Mao and his ideas but Jesus christ calm down
Heard good things about that one.
I don’t remember any explicitly religious podcasts that discuss these things that are Marxist, but I do know revleftradio has a couple episodes linking these things together a bit.
Also can’t recommend The Deprogram enough generally, fuckin amazing podcast. Also the Magnus archives but that has nothing to do with what you asked, I just like it!
Deprogram is fucking stellar listening.
For podcasts:
(Edit 2: I reread your comment again and thought you meant podcasts in general. I don’t know any religious ones in particular, sorry)
-The Socialist Program with Brian Becker (Edit: forgot to mention this, he’s got an interview with comrade Chris Smalls coming up)
-Turn Leftist Podcast -Invent the Future -The Deprogram
-If you speak Italian, comrade Alessandro Barbero (a historian who has become a meme due to great popularity, with expertise in Medieval history) has a podcast
I would gladly take more recommendations
Media (they don’t all cover all the things, but you can get a global perspective by reading all of them)
-The Grayzone -Telesur -Kawsachun News -Redfish -Popular Front? (Ansrchist cringe politics, but still mostly good content and reporting) -Monthly Review -In Defense of Communism -The Empire Files -PressTV (Iran) -KCNA/DPRKToday -Democracy Now -Liberation News (PSL) -People’s World (CPUSA) -dangcongsan.vn (CPV website) and vietnamnews.vn -Labor Notes
These are all I can remember but there’s more. I opened Spotify to check and I got not one, but TWO mcdonalds ads… got a slight feeling £’ll get the cracked version soon…
Three mcdonalds ads… fuck this…
Unfortunately Mr barbero also described Stalin as a dictator 1984 vuvuzela
Yes, I know this, but the rest of his work is very good. Maybe, with a different political situation and access to relevant material, his position could change. Currently it would mean career suicide for him to say anything else, so it’s not like he has a choice anyway. Not everyone is perfect, unfortunately.
my headcanon is that he is a based ML and hes lurking this lemmy.
I think he is clearly hiding his power level lmao. Not sure if ML but he’s obviously a communist and always cites Marxist perspectives on history in his lectures. So yeah, pretty based.
He once got into a debate with members of Rizzo’s party (including Rizzo himself) when he was invited on their livestream and basically agreed on everything except Stalin, if I remember correctly.
Seeing the past party drama the PC has gone through, Rizzo basically leading the party alone and silencing any dissent, and the direction that the PC is taking currently, now allying openly with Sgarbi, Paragone and other various reactionaries and anti vaxxers, I could see that them being the only (major) openly Stalinist force could have turned him off in these past few years.
Partito Comunista? More like Partito Boomerista. Unfortunately its the only party that takes votes :(
I hope Rizzo gets purged or dies soon since every passing day, through his actions, he tarnishes the image of not only Marxism-Leninism, but all the actual communists who are doing good work in this country, both inside and outside his party. He’s basically a nazbol nowadays, which is a shame, since he’s poisoning the minds of all his militants. Even his own fucking youth wing broke with the Party (due to factional struggles and rivalry between its leader and Rizzo, but still)…
PARTITO COMUNISTA WITH BARBERO PRESIDENT
Thank you for this excellent list!! I have added them to my news list!
