Politics In Command
Politics In Command (POLICOM) is a podcast based on anti-revisionist Marxism. Revisionism, in the Marxist sense, is the invalid modification of a correct principle of the science of revolution, aka Marxism. In other words, all those who oppose the science of revolution while still carrying the name "Marxist" are Revisionist - and there are plenty in the world today who need to be exposed. Revisionists wave the red flag in order to bring down the red flag.
All ideas have a material basis. In a class-divided society (and world), all ideas can be traced back to a particular class of said society. This is Politics In Command. The political line is everything.

Fanshen: Class, Women's Liberation and Crit-Self-Crit
The anti-revisionist gang breaks down and discusses some important ideas from the incredible book written by William Hinton, Fanshen: A Documentary of Revolution in a Chinese Village, published in 1966. The book covers the Chinese Revolution in the village of Long Bow between 1946-1948. Full of extraordinary stories, theoretical depth and historical experiences of the Chinese people in their struggle against oppression.
We broke down this nearly 700-page book into 7 topics of which we believe are useful in the context of the US and our class struggle here.
