the better help and mattress ad breaks feel really out of place

[-] Posadas@hexbear.net 69 points 4 months ago

On the other hand, the skill share ad feels right at home.

Thank you, that was great. I loved just how sensible and normal their advice was.

And remember:

Yooooo, thanks! I saw the "corpselike" position mentioned. What is that, like supine (on back)?

Honestly, there aren't many good ML podcasts, I feel, or even leftist ones...

Not many... but I have recently found three in particular that I enjoy, in case anyone wants suggestions.

[-] FreudianCafe@lemmy.ml 26 points 4 months ago

If you speak portuguese or want to read (the subtitles are mostly ok), theres a weekly political analisys by a brazilian communist party. Its the best thing i find online in pt, es, en and it. If you want i can send you the link

[-] novibe@lemmy.ml 22 points 4 months ago

Brazil has really good communists nowadays 🙌

[-] FreudianCafe@lemmy.ml 11 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Most communist parties in Brasil are alligned with imperialism, in part or as a whole. But PCO is grassroots communism, no academic bullshit or consessions for the burguersie. They talk to the people, defend palestine in actions (not just Internet posting), defend the working class etc etc. Lenin would be overhelmed with proud

[-] kot@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago

They're reactionary trots and politically irrelevant. UP and the PCB are the two decent ones.

I definitely don’t mean the “communist” parties. But PCO is… kinda Trotskyist no? And kinda conservative, anti-LGBTQ movements and such.

[-] FreudianCafe@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 months ago

They are not kinda trotskyists, they are trotskyists. They are not conservadores, they are the most progressive party in the country. They are for right to abortion, legalization of drugs, same sex marriage, end of exploitation of woman, etc etc. What they are against (and thats where people get those ideas you pointed) is censorship, and in Brasil you have lots (and if you count the famous ones, all of them) of indentitarian movements infiltrated by CIA agenda points, asking to sendo people to jail amd censor them. A good example is the minister for human rights: Police gets into the slums and kill 30 people (guess their color) he says nothing, but some guy calls a fuebol player a monkey and he asks for the guy to be imprisioned. They defended gay people way before it was cooler, way before CIA took the movement over. Theres a particular case when a researcher found out that a very important person from the black movement (from the colonization time) was gay. People from the Black movement got pissed and asked for him to be censored and even beaten. PCO didnt agree with his thesis but they defended his right to say that and offered to shield him from the aggressions. The point is, their agenda is to bring forth communism, and it includes freedom of speech. When people ask them to betray this objective in order to support some identitarian movement thats asking for censorship, they say no. Does that make them anti lgbt?

[-] KrasMazov@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 4 months ago

Yeah, get out with this shit. Stop trying to push PCO here.

Lots of accusations here and your use of "identitarian movements" and "freedom of speech" with the example you used speaks volumes already. Also what's with the "defending gay people way before it was cooler", and "before it was infiltrated by CIA agenda points? This all just smells extremely reactionary.

N O I C E

Okay, so:

The Black Casebook

Collective Action Comics

We're Not So Different


Aaaaaannnd that's about it. Communist podcasts. There you go.

All on Spotify or Google Podcasts.

Or on most podcast platforms, as far as I can tell.

Oh yeah, and I'll throw in Against Japanism. Kinda ultra that one, but actually new information and new topics, I feel.

Plus, ProlesPod is coming back soon and they have their "a re-introduction" episode.

But eh, I'm trying to promote obscure or small-time podcasters, not podcasters that will probably strike it big (and strike it big again, in the case of ProlesPod).

I have a list somewhere too.

We're Not So Different

I recently started listening to WNSD, and while I knew the hosts are unapologetically leftists, I didn't know they were MLs. I'm enjoying the hell out of it, so that's a fun surprise.

Podcasting Is Praxis is not a big brain theory podcast but they're by far the best and funniest current events/general banter comedy podcast I've come across. I'm pretty sure they're mostly ML, they certainly channel a lot of the same energy as Hexbear does.

A People's History Of Ideas tells the history of the Chinese revolution in extreme detail and the guy doing it is a Maoist. If you are the kind of person who like to know the minutuae of how safehouses were operated in Shanghai in the 1920's this is the place to look. Interspersed with the revolutionary history episodes is the occasional episode on Gonzaloism or oral histories from people who visited China during the Mao years. It's good albeit a little dry.

what criteria do you use to define "good"?

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 15 points 4 months ago

One that doesn't really retread old ground or talk about the same stuff the other ones are talking about.

Also, one that isn't just back-slapping their guests and never questioning them. Or simply agreeing with other leftists. Ones that promote debate and new ideas.

Among other things, of course.

I don't like the guests on the Deprogram and Rev Left Radio has gone downhill, as a Russian friend told me, so I steer clear from the "popular" or "top" ones nowadays.

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago

Rev Left Radio has gone downhill, as a Russian friend told me

What do you mean by this? Why would a 'Russian friend' tell you about rev left instead of you just listening to it? Are you just seething because Brett has the correct anti-imperialist line?

In the thumbnail, I thought there were a couple of cats talking to each other. Maybe a little disappointed.

I choose to imagine it has the same opening music as Half in the Bag.

But fr this is super interesting, worth keeping an eye on.
