Hello everyone and welcome back to Red Menace. Today we are covering On Contradiction by Mao.

It's a really fascinating text, one that I don't think enough people read, so I'm really

excited to get into this and explore the philosophy.

This is more, I think it's fair to say it's more philosophy heavy than some of the other

texts, but it's, you know, eminently applicable to organizing, which we'll get into

in this episode as well.

But before we start, I have a few announcements up top.

One is we are doing a collaboration with Bad Mouse, the YouTuber, on this text.

So Bad Mouse is making his own video on Contradiction, and we are doing this episode on Contradiction.

We're going to link to one another's shows in each other's

show notes and just have, you know, sort of a collaborative effort where you have two resources to really,

you know, engage with this text and internalize it from two different perspectives using two different

mediums if you listen to us on podcast purely and look at bad mouse on YouTube. So looking forward

to that. All that will be in the show notes of this episode.

So you can go and click that after you watch this episode.

And then as always, we're on Twitter at Red Menace, Red underscore Menace underscore Pod.

We're on Patreon at patreon.com forward slash red menace.

And a way to help us out if you don't have any money, which we totally understand,

is just to rate and review us on whatever podcast app you have. It really helps increase our reach.

It sort of pumps the algorithm. So our show will pop up as a recommended show for more people

with more ratings and reviews. So that's a really great way that you can help us without spending

a penny, and we really appreciate it. And if you haven't already, definitely subscribe to our YouTube page. It's a really great way that you can help us without spending a penny, and we really appreciate it.
