The Two Lefts (Ft. Daniel from What Is Politics?)
Get access to The Backroom, with 100+ exclusive episodes of 1Dime Radio, on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OneDimeIn this episode of 1Dime Radio, I am joined by Daniel from the YouTube channel What Is Politics? to unpack what we call the “Lizard Left”: the use of egalitarian and left-wing language to reproduce hierarchy, status competition, and social control. We discuss wokeism and the Socialism Conference, the DSA and the “rebel priest class,” why the left struggles to connect with ordinary people, what socialism actually means beyond the Soviet legacy, whether socialism can scale, and what dating apps, social clubs, tribalism, civilization, birth rates, and immigration reveal about the deeper problem of rebuilding a viable left.The second half of the conversation continues in the Patreon-exclusive Backroom.You can listen to 1Dime Radio on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get podcasts.Timestamps:0:00 Cold Open: Fitness, Fascism & Fake Politics4:31 1Dime Radio Intro5:29 Daniel Returns8:52 Wokeism & the “Lizard Left”16:55 The Socialism Conference & “Fitness Is Fascism?”30:34 The Rebel Priest Class & the Working Class38:17 Feminism, Immigration & “Actually Existing” Ideology43:17 What Is Socialism?

Spain's "Socialist" Government (Ft. Benjamin Studebaker)
Get access to The Backroom (100+ exclusive podcast episodes) on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OneDimeThis is an older bonus episode originally released exclusively in The Backroom. I’m releasing it publicly in part as a reminder of the kind of longer, less filtered conversations Patreon supporters get access to.In this episode of 1Dime Radio, I am joined by political theorist Benjamin Studebaker to revisit the idea of the “neo-left” and ask whether Pedro Sánchez and Spain’s Socialist Workers’ Party represent an alternative to neoliberalism or a left-wing way of administering it. We discuss immigration and labor power, borders and imperialism, the constraints imposed by the European Union, Spain’s tourism and property-driven growth, and why the Spanish model may not be the blueprint for the left that some imagine it to be.You can listen to 1Dime Radio on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get podcasts.Timestamps:0:00 Preview: Immigration, Borders & Imperialism3:02 Intro4:02 What Is the “Neo-Left”?14:50 Migration Policy22:24 Immigration & Imperialism35:13 Nation-States vs. Globalization44:19 Spain’s “Success” Story49:22 Sánchez and the EU Fiscal Rules58:21 Why Spain Isn’t a Blueprint65:19 Property, Demographics & MigrationGUEST:Benjamin Studebaker — Political theorist and author of Legitimacy in Liberal DemocraciesWebsite: https://benjaminstudebaker.com/Substack: https://bmstudebaker.substack.com/Political Theory 101: https://soundcloud.com/benjamin-studebakerFOLLOW 1Dime:1Dime Radio YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/@1dimeradioSubstack: https://1dimereview.substack.com/X/Twitter: https://x.com/1DimeOfficialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyof1dime/Main 1Dime YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@1DimeeLeave a like, comment, and subscribe.

The Forgotten Left Economics Tradition (Ft. Peter Ryan)
Get access to The Backroom (100+ exclusive episodes of 1Dime Radio) on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OneDimeIn this episode of 1Dime Radio, I am joined by Peter Ryan, founder of Ryan Research, to recover a forgotten tradition of political economy that refuses the usual choice between Marxism and free-market liberalism. We contrast Karl Marx with Friedrich List and Matthew and Henry Carey, trace economic nationalism from the American System to MMT and Ha-Joon Chang, and ask whether national sovereignty, protectionism, and state capacity offer a more practical path to development and anti-imperialism.In The Backroom, the Patreon-exclusive segment, we expand this conversation across three additional episodes with Peter Ryan. We discuss nationalist internationalism and Arnold Toynbee’s theory of civilizational cycles; Henry Carey, rentierism, Marxism, and the Irish struggle for national liberation; and, in a nearly three-hour finale, the post-left/post-right convergence, the moral limits of markets, immigration, industrial policy, class coalitions, empire, and whether any populist project can escape establishment capture.You can listen to 1Dime Radio on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get podcasts.Timestamps:0:00 The Backroom Preview: Nationalism Against Imperialism3:52 1Dime Radio Intro4:50 Peter Ryan and the Forgotten Economic Tradition15:07 Karl Marx Versus Friedrich List22:57 MMT and the Forgotten History of Monetary Sovereignty34:05 Beyond Libertarianism: Why State Capacity Matters46:43 Who Controls the State?57:02 Friedrich List and the Carey School1:07:26 War, Industry, and America’s Protectionist Turn1:15:50 Matthew and Henry Carey1:27:27 Henry Carey, Lincoln, and Marx1:34:06 Nationalist Internationalism and The BackroomGUEST:Peter Ryan is the founder of Ryan Research, where he writes and consults on economics, history, technology, and business strategy.

The American Revolution: A Revolution Unfinished
This episode is an ElevenLabs voice-over of “The American Revolution: A Revolution Unfinished,” an essay I originally published on the Fourth of July on my Substack, 1Dime Review.Get access to The Backroom, with 100+ exclusive episodes of 1Dime Radio, on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OneDimeIn this essay, I examine the contradictory legacy of 1776 and argue that the American Revolution was both a genuinely radical democratic transformation and a project complicit in slavery, racial domination, and Native dispossession. Rather than abandoning the language of liberty and popular sovereignty to the right, I argue that the left should reclaim the unfinished democratic tradition running from Paine and Jefferson through abolition, labor, and civil rights, and complete the promises that America’s managed political system was designed to contain.Read the written essay: https://1dimereview.substack.com/p/the-american-revolution-a-revolutionYou can listen to 1Dime Radio on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get podcasts.Timestamps:0:00 The American Revolution: A Revolution Unfinished0:12 Should We Reclaim the Legacy of 1776?3:29 A Contradictory Legacy: Neither Saints nor Villains13:00 Why Claim the Revolution?27:06 The Unfinished Revolution31:13 Footnotes/CitationsFOLLOW 1Dime:1Dime Radio YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/@1dimeradioSubstack: https://1dimereview.substack.com/X/Twitter: https://x.com/1DimeOfficialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyof1dime/Main 1Dime YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@1DimeeLeave a like, comment, and subscribe.

The Post-Woke Age?: Mamdani, AI Job Loss, & the "Vibe Shift"
Get access to The Backroom, with 100+ exclusive episodes of 1Dime Radio, on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OneDimeThis is an Elleven Labs voice-over of an essay I released a while ago on my Substack titled "The Post-Woke Age: Making Sense of Mamdani, AI Job Loss and the 'Vibe Shift“ A Post-Woke Age,” (Part 3 of my Genealogy of Wokeism series). In this essay, I argue that the Fourth Awokening is exhausting itself while AI-driven white-collar displacement could produce a Fifth Awokening through a broader crisis of elite overproduction. I also examine the return of class politics, the appeal of neoreaction, whether a “woke right” really exists, Zohran Mamdani’s rise, the left’s inability to learn from defeat, and the political trajectory of the Palestine movement.Read the written essay: https://1dimereview.substack.com/p/the-next-awokeningYou can listen to 1Dime Radio on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get podcasts.Timestamps:0:00 The Post-Woke Age7:46 Is Woke Dead, or Is It Coming Back?14:00 The Vibe Shift19:47 AI and the Fifth Awokening26:52 Elite Overproduction in STEM32:59 The FIRE Industries and Bullshit Jobs34:41 Blue-Collar Workers and the Producer Class44:12 The Appeal of Neoreaction46:52 Is There a Woke Right?52:48 Rise of Class Politics Across Left and Right55:46 Don’t Mess With the Zohran1:08:59 Why Mamdani Won1:13:39 It’s Not Just Optics.

Marxism vs Elite Theory (Ft. Chris Cutrone)
Get access to The Backroom (100+ exclusive episodes) on Patreon: [https://www.patreon.com/OneDime](https://www.patreon.com/OneDime)In this episode of 1Dime Radio, I am joined by Chris Cutrone, founder of the Platypus Affiliated Society, to debate the professional-managerial class, elite theory, and whether either offers a better explanation of today’s left than Marxism. Taking Cutrone’s essay “Was Lenin PMC?” as our starting point, we clash over the 20% versus 80% framework, liberal democracy, managerialism, the role of intellectuals in socialist politics, and what Marxism is actually for in the absence of a proletarian socialist movement.In the Patreon-exclusive Backroom, we move from history into strategy: whether a viable class coalition must extend beyond the proletariat, why Marxism still matters, whether Cutrone is really as Marxist as he claims, and why most self-described Marxists have no real commitment to communism. We also turn to the Graham Platner fiasco, the culture of #MeToo, and some characteristically hot takes from Cutrone.You can listen to 1Dime Radio on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get podcasts.Timestamps:0:00 The Backroom Preview: Graham Platner and #MeToo4:12 1Dime Radio Intro5:10 Marxism vs. Elite Theory13:42 The 20% vs. the 80%18:15 Is the Left Actually Left?22:50 Marxism and Liberal Democracy30:01 What Elite Theory Explains36:34 Theory, Strategy, and Practice41:03 The Synthetic Left and Family Abolition51:26 Marxism as the Critique of Socialism59:20 Intellectuals, Class, and the PMC66:15 Elite Overproduction and Academia74:16 What Is Marxism For?78:28 In What Sense Is Cutrone a Marxist?1:25:48 Join Us in The BackroomGUEST:Chris Cutrone | Founder of the Platypus Affiliated Society* Chris Cutrone’s website: [https://chriscutrone.platypus1917.org/](https://chriscutrone.platypus1917.org/)* Platypus Affiliated Society: [https://platypus1917.org/](https://platypus1917.org/)* “Was Lenin PMC?”: [https://www.sublationmag.com/post/was-lenin-pmc-how-elite-theory-doesn-t-fit-the-movement-for-socialism](https://www.sublationmag.com/post/was-lenin-pmc-how-elite-theory-doesn-t-fit-the-movement-for-socialism)FOLLOW 1Dime:* 1Dime Radio YouTube channel: [https://youtube.com/@1dimeradio](https://youtube.com/@1dimeradio)* Substack: [https://1dimereview.substack.com/](https://1dimereview.substack.com/)* X/Twitter: [https://x.com/1DimeOfficial](https://x.com/1DimeOfficial)* Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/tonyof1dime/](https://www.instagram.com/tonyof1dime/)* Main 1Dime YouTube channel: [https://www.youtube.com/@1Dimee](https://www.youtube.com/@1Dimee)Leave a like, comment, and subscribe.

The Culture War is The Class War: A Theory of the Two Lefts
Get access to The Backroom, with 100+ exclusive episodes of 1Dime Radio, on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OneDimeThis episode is an ElevenLabs voice-over of my essay “The Culture War IS the Class War: A Theory of the Two Lefts,” the fourth and final essay in my Genealogy of Wokeism series, originally published on my Substack. The essay challenges the familiar claim that the culture war is merely a distraction from the class war. Instead, I argue that the culture war is one arena of class conflict, driven by elite overproduction and an internal division between two increasingly incompatible lefts: a class-first left committed to universal economic transformation and a woke cultural left rooted in the professional-managerial class.Using the Bernie Sanders campaigns of 2016 and 2020—including the defining confrontation at his 2015 Seattle rally—as case studies, I examine the left-unity trap, pseudo-radicalism, institutional capture, K–12 education, gender politics, and the tendency of post-woke leftists to dismiss live cultural conflicts as fringe distractions. The essay argues that a serious working-class politics cannot succeed by ignoring these conflicts or indefinitely accommodating the faction that dominates the left’s institutional terrain.You can listen to 1Dime Radio on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get podcasts.Timestamps:0:00 The Culture War IS the Class War: A Theory of the Two Lefts2:12 Memory-Holing Wokeism7:44 Culture War Is Class War13:54 The Lesson of Bernie Sanders, 2016–202016:17 The Day Sanders Stood Still34:19 The Left’s Civil War41:26 A Theory of the Two Lefts51:37 The Left Unity Trap53:24 The Hard Truth Most Old Leftists Don’t Want to Admit56:26 How Pseudo-Radicalism Masks the Divide Between the Two Lefts1:05:37 If Wokeism Is So Fringe, Then Why Doesn’t the Left Reject It?1:09:29 Wokeism as a Paper Tiger1:12:28 Why Accommodating Woke Fails1:15:39 What Is to Be Done?1:18:23 The Correct Answer to “Throwing Minorities Under the Bus”1:28:49 Nothing to See Here, Folks.
