This podcast is constantly dividing the left against itself. We need more cheerleaders and fewer annoy academics applying ideological litmus tests.

Vivek Chibber, in a few sentences, exposed the feeble and faulty understanding of political economic reality of the host, who is better at LARPing as a lefty than being one. I’ll give it another listen if Gabriel Rockhill is invited.

Lots of pseudo-academic leftists crafting very poorly thought out critiques of classic left-wing theory, only to not address the obvious contradictions in their analysis. Constantly alternating between abstract, self-masturbatory high political questions with no relation to actual organization and then 5 seconds later giving into a purely economist analysis with no recognition of political obstacles. Not worth listening to.

What a Bunch of Neocons. After 20 minutes of hearing our greatest and brightest (Bernie, AOC, Crockett) attacked and slandered, I had to pause in disbelief how these people PRETEND to center left while basically calling the only truly valorous politicians in America dead beat commies. He’s awfully mad at the powerful but fair, for what I don’t know. I turned it off and will never listen to the liars at Dime ever again.

1Dime mixes history and contemporary issues, takes theory seriously without losing track of strategic thinking, and doesn’t get caught up in orthodoxy. All around a very solid show.

The edits and cuts are too excessive. It’s distracting. Great show otherwise.

Two episodes take up over half a gig? Insane! You should compress them down to 128kbps
