Ghosts of the Red Soil - The Book is out, sold out actually. But there will be a new print run in January with Leftword books & there might still be some on bookshop shelves in Kuala Lumpur. To mark this special occation we've done a one time pivot to video. It took way too much work. Please don't get used to it. "This book is a collection of stori…

We're taking a break until new years sorry. So we answered YOUR questions.

Imagine one of those thumbnails of a DPRK defector with the clickbait headline like: NORTH Korean DEFECTOR tells the TRUTH about REGIME. Well we're doing this but for the south, with our friend - a former Psyops Officer in the ROK Military (not kidding) - Kim.

We dive deeper into exploring the cosmology of the cursed Romanian mind. Manele, Chalga, Skiladiko, Serbian Turbo-Folk. Whatever you want to call it. When Roma people try and have fun, just how racist will the Romanians get?

Sorry we couldn't come up with a better title... or a better episode.

The title should really explain it all no?

Malaysia is really the most wildly racist... racialised... messy place maybe in the world. That's what we talked about Here's yvonnes article https://www.whiteboardjournal.com/column/indonesian-and-malaysian-men-have-one-thing-that-is-shared-and-its-not-pretty/

The original plan backfired, we had to abandon it mid episode so its almost entirely chit chat today. Sorry !!! We did get around to talking about our media diets, indian facebook groups, christian zionists, the Thai mental health system, genocidal Buddhism and probably some other stuff

Continuing about Patani. The book is: Uneasy.Military Encounters: The Imperial Politics of Counterinsurgency in Southern Thailand - Ruth Streicher www.dindeng.com

We return to the insurgency in Patani. www.dindeng.com

This is a special ep. Chit chat with the legendary Somyot Prueksakasemsuk. As a kid Somyot joined the communist insurgency, then spent decades in labour organising before being jailed for 7 years during the Red Shirt uprising. He's also going to prison again in a few months, maybe for 10 years, for speeches he gave in the 2020 protests, so we wante…

We really didnt know what to do because everything is up in the air at the moment. No need listen to listen to this ep folks thanks. Isnt it strange how much worse this show gets when things actually happen??? Crazy. I think we thrive on quiet. Next week will do a standard good style episode.

We provide a necessary service for listeners desperate for a party line to blindly follow. Also, the game was called Vector Runner and the high score board is broken :((((((((

Finally, we get back on track after our recent run of episodes about... not a lot.. BUT TODAY we're talking to Atul from The Communist Party India (Marxist) about Kerala, the role of the Left Front there, the poverty eradication program, succesful Communist electoralism (wtf) and... well everything really. We love Atul folks. Sorry about a little b…

Our immediate thoughts on the ceasefire. We had a lot of technical problems recording this, and we have no time to edit it, and its quite time sensitive, so we did struggle to get a good narrative going and sorry if we're talking over each other a lot but yeah, its been a crazy week. Heres the artice. https://dindeng.com/thai-cambo-war…

We did a quick recording following the outbreak of war between Thailand and Cambodia. We hate it. We hate the war. It's awful. Peace at all costs. (This episode was unedited by the way).

We talk about monks, with a monk. He's not a monk anymore tho.

Unging is Paetongtarn Shinawatras nickname btw. Dont think we mentioned that.

Taking a break from the Red Drums, we're talking about Thailand's imminent war with Cambodia? Just Kidding, but maybe not? Or we're talking about the imminent coup in Thailand... Again, just kidding? Not sure... ...

Mihai and Samai begin their descent into the sad, weeping world of Balkan fascism... A world in which we all somehow live today.

PART 4 During the decades between 1952 and 1982 Thailand underwent a period extremely similar to what is commonly known in Italy as The Years of Lead. Though not the lead of a bullet, many of those killed and disappeared were burned out of existence in red oil drums.

So, we recored an episode on the Thai deep state a few days ago, but we both had headaches and it's really not very fun to listen to. So we scraped together this episode last minute, hence the rather dramatic departure from our normal subject matter. But you know what? It's fun. You'll have fun. Really. Like, we do funny voices and its not racist. …
