    I mean yeah, but he's not accompanying it with the redistributive justice implicit in making that argument as a socialist

      I don't think it's safe to just assume that sort of implication from an argument unless it's outright stated. Redistributive justice along racial lines is not something all socialists agree on, there are those who believe redistribution along class lines is sufficient and that other forms are counterproductive or inherently divisive

      I don't agree with those takes, but they are made nevertheless and by popular people on the left at that

        even then, redistribution along class lines is a hell of a lot better than what we've got now

            I've listened to other communist podcasts where the hosts just restate basic theory shit like an audiobook and they're fucking boring

              Yeah, podcasts are a shit medium, the only ones I can remotely tolerate are Trueanon, Trillbillies and Chapo before bernie lost, and I've been dogpiled for saying this before, but left podcasts seriously have a problem with people who talk thru their nose, I swear some of these people have forgotten they have a larynx

                they're shit at picking apart incredibly detailed topics unless the hosts really put the work in — take revolutions or blowback, for instance, but they're good for what they usually are which is light entertainment. If I orient myself towards absorbing theory in a serious capacity I read a book.

                  They should really get over bernie's loss and reconnect with their roots, more Gorka, more making fun of weird twitter cranks, more grillpill for gods sakes, and Felix every episode
