Episode Synopsis

This week, we're talking about how Karl Marx high key ate, why healthcare in the United States is a scam and Tik Tok's favorite hitman Luigi Mangione. We may not have the answers or know what to do about the horrors of late-stage capitalism, but we break down some of Marx's theories and share some (super fun!) facts about our healthcare system. Spoiler: if you don't have health insurance, or even if you do, don't get sick! #SendHelp**Sources** https://www.britannica.com/biography/Karl-Marxhttps://www.britannica.com/topic/communismhttps://openbooks.library.umass.edu/radicalsocialtheory/chapter/basic-definitions-of-marxian-terminology/The Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engelshttps://www.thoughtco.com/conflict-theory-3026622https://sociology.plus/glossary/base-and-superstructure/#google_vignetteA Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy, Karl Marxhttps://www.britannica.com/topic/Occupy-Wall-StreetEdward Ongweso Jr.'s Substack (The Tech Bubble)U.S. Census Insurance StatsPhysicians For a National Health Program (Insurance Stats)
