I'm on episode 4 out of 5 and it's pretty good so far. I don't know anything about Last Podcast's political orientation, but I would say this is not explicitly Marxist content like many on Lemmygrad would prefer, but it does seem to be a good objective narration of history and I'm enjoying it

Einstein yes, but he wasn't actually a member of a socialist party, he just supported it personally and wrote arguments defending it.

Oppenheimer, I think not entirely though he was surely sympathetic at least. His wife, his brother, and his best friend were card-carrying communists, but idk of any evidence that he ever espoused socialism/communism himself, outside of hanging out with communists a lot. He was very much accused of being a communist after the war ended, but pretty much every famous person who wasn't a fascist was targeted by mccarthyist witchhunts and accused of being communist

I'm terrible at vexillology so idk what most of those flags are, but the one on the green state is literally just a US flag

The architect was actually the same for both, and he designed Mt. Rushmore after Stone Mountain. Mt. Rushmore was originally supposed to depict Lewis and Clark, Sacagawea, Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, and Red Cloud, but this racist mf'er convinced the government to use founding fathers instead

I went to the Center's website that is linked on Wikipedia, and the all the images on there are porn. I can't read Chinese so idk what the text says. What's up with that??

Edit: I initially misunderstood your point.

It is a new headline about a thing that happened in the US.

Yeah it's crazy because I was worried they might become full patsoc (just recently they were calling Trump an anti-war candidate lol) but now they're just backing soc dems and saying anyone who disagrees is a purist

He is a radlib . Very far left compared to his peers, but ultimately invested in reforming aka maintaining capitalism with a friendly face

Nah, Gloria LaRiva outmatches him by socialist/anti-imperialist metrics any day

I agree, except with using a real socialist party condiut to do it: the PSL

The way he talks about RAWM makes it sound like a damn cult. Pros and cons of it aside, Rainer is just obsessed with it to an unhealthy degree
