Marx Madness
Audiobooks with commentary and analysis to help make Leftist theory more accessible.
Episodes
Meet your hosts: David and Nathan. One of them is the foremost expert on Karl Marx in rural Missouri. The other might have had a crush on Ronald Reagan throughout college. You get to figure out who's who.
Each week, these two will break down a handful of chapters from a foundational work of Marxism. Join them as they begin to dissect Karl Marx's Capital, the book that your uncle told you was worse than the necronomicon.
