Summary

Stroky Sean and cancer-free Varn are reunited to dive back into the wreckage. This is part one of over three hours of conversation about just about everything under the sun (what happens when we take a several month break from these things) including political economy, current events, intra-Marxist rivalry and analysis. Mostly we bid adieu to the Long Twentieth Century. Turns out it expired for real this time not on 9/11/01 but 11/5/16.

We are in a new epoch and its time to start acting like it!

0:42.8	in response to the Trump election, in response to liberals responding to it, which I don't want to get
0:48.1	too bogged down in, but I do think we need to talk a little bit about the tactics I see there
0:54.0	with Zumer Left and manipulation. I think it's usually... down in, but I do think we need to talk a little bit about the tactics I see there with
0:54.2	Zumer Left and manipulation. I think as usual, we'll focus a lot today on deconstructing
1:02.0	the left and certainly its response to the Great Democratic Defeat of 2024, what the American
1:10.0	left, the angle of left feels like the future might look like for
1:14.0	itself and how it wants to get there. I've been looking about and reading. I think also, too,
1:21.8	I don't know if you've been following the great H-1B blow up on X, the Everything app that's been happening since Christmas.
1:31.1	But there's trouble within the MAGA coalition.
1:34.5	The attack rate versus the MAGA right.
1:36.9	It's turned into a huge blowup with Donald Trump nowhere to be found.
1:40.2	So, you know, we're in very, very interesting times right now.
1:44.1	I would be remiss if I didn't mention this since this is my first time, probably on camera,
1:50.8	since bad things happened about a month and a half ago.
