It’s time to talk about a living legend: Angela Davis.

RevolutionaryTh0tl joins us to talk about Dr. Davis, then we get into her 1981 book, “Women, Race, and Class.”

Turns out America's got a wretched history on all three of the book's titular topics, who'd have guessed?

Pull up a chair listeners, and heed the tale of a man named Zakalwe…

This month’s listener-chosen episode is “Use of Weapons” by Iain M. Banks, a 1990 sci-fi novel and one of the most famous entries in “The Culture” series.

Imagine an alien civilization so advanced that they spend all their time trying to help other species develop. Now imagine they have to recruit a mercenary to help them with extremely sticky situations. Now imagine that mercenary is the most obnoxiously try-hard faux cool jerk with deep-seated trauma surrounding cuck chairs.

Imagine that and you’ve got this book.

Let's get into some THEORY (don't worry, we make it fun)!

Lenore, Jacob, and Jen are discussing the revolutionary Vladimir Lenin's famous 1916 text, "Imperialism, The Highest Stage of Capitalism." Despite being more than 100 years old, this book feels deeply relevant in 2026...terrifyingly so.

We talk about the life of Lenin, leader of the Bolsheviks, before going through the book chapter by chapter, showing how capitalism creates monopoly which chases after greater profits that eventually leads to imperialism and war. It's intense stuff, but it brings great clarity to the world we live in.

The National Review wrote a truly wretched article about "The Odyssey," which is apparently woke. Lenore reads it to Jacob because we love to suffer, don't we folks?

Hello Patrons and Future Patrons!

It's the return of Article Brain, the Lenore-led sub series where we find the worst articles in the media and read them to each other in an attempt to get the other person to crash out.

This month, Jacob and Lenore explore a bigoted rant against "The Odyssey" of the kind only the freaks at the National Review could conjure, then we hop over to the opinion pages of the New York times to learn God is okay with gay people...but not trans ones!

Needless to say, we get mad.

We hope you enjoy this. If you're not a patron, we'd sure appreciate you considering becoming one! by @workers_lit
