      How did this community spring from something Chapo-related? What does El Chapo have to do with socialism?

        There's a popular leftist podcast called "Chapo Trap House". The name is just a joke they came up with in the first episode when thinking of a name for the podcast. El Chapo himself doesn't really have anything to do with socialism.

          Did it have to do with El Chapo Guzman from the Sinaloa Cartel in Mexico?

          The name always kinda threw me off, honestly.

        It's all in the podcast, this community comes from /r/chapotraphouse which was the podcast's unofficial subreddit. The subreddit outgrew the podcast, got banned, and moved here.
