I have no idea if either Liz or Brace are full on ML's or whatever, but they both make references to Lenin pretty regularly on their show. And they seem sincere, unlike the caked in layers of irony takes the chapos make.

Really? Brace and Liz are smart, driven, MLs, who know theory and understand its relevance to society. The Chapo hosts make jokes, think they're smart, but have little understanding of theory or society.
