Get access to The Backroom Exclusive podcast on Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/OneDime.⁠ In this week’s episode, I am joined by Isaac Zale of the rising socialist YouTube channel “Overzealots” who has most recently gained traction for his videos critiquing “commentary” YouTubers like Ethan Klein and Streamers like Destiny, who are currently “at war” with pro-Palestine leftist figures like Hasan Piker (Hasanabi).  In this episode, I ask Issac about his journey from a conscious rapper to “LeftTuber”, how he was “radicalized” and how being loudly critical of Israel made him isolated in the music industry. Most importantly, we discuss the ongoing genocide in Gaza, the untold history of Israel, why America really supports Israel, and the myths of “liberal zionism.”  In The Backroom on Patreon, Issac and I talk about The Global Gender Political Divide, in which I pitch my theory of what is causing it, what most leftists miss, and how this contributes to Men moving to the right.  Become a Patron at ⁠Patreon.com/OneDime⁠ if you haven’t already!

We also talk about modern China, the future of capitalism, what the left and right get wrong when it comes to Economics,   “Marxism without the rubbish bits,” and possible solutions to our chronic crisis.  In The Backroom exclusive podcast on Patreon [⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/OneDime.⁠], Cahal and I discuss Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), UBI vs the Job Guarantee, the prospects of Economic Planning, Worker-Co-ops, and the question of “socialist” alternatives to capitalism.

Randal Wray, a heterodox economist and a Pioneer of Modern Monetary Theory.

We also discuss “Timeenergy” as the basis of socialism and examine the question of whether socialism will be a “conservative” movement in opposition to the constant, accelerating change of capitalism.  In The Backroom, Mikey and I discuss the long-awaited debate between Slavoj Zizek and Nick Land, Mikey’s experience meeting Zizek, and some philosophical questions regarding the rationale for socialism.
