Hey everybody and welcome back to Red Menace.

Today is the second installment of us covering France Fanon's The Retrait of the Earth.

Last month we covered chapters 1 and 2.

Today we'll be covering chapters 3, the trials and tribulations of national consciousness

and chapter 4 on national culture.

And then yeah we'll finish this book out next month finishing the last two chapters

and then entering into 2020 we can go back as we've said from the beginning to like original

marks and angles texts and see what tensions exist between the stuff we've read so far

and exist back then and where they overlap, trajectories, I think it'll just be a fascinating

right overall.

But before we get into this episode I want to give a shout out to Dave Jacobs is officially

hired by Red Menace to do our video production.

So we have a brand new sort of aesthetic look, a brand new way of doing our videos that

are on YouTube now so if you haven't checked that out, the first one of Dave's sort of

production on our episodes was last month so it's up you can go check it out if you're

listening to this right now.

And then I just wanted to clarify something really quick because I saw this on Twitter.

Everybody was recommending our podcast Red Menace and somebody was responding wondering

why a communist theory podcast was talking about pooping joggers and it turns out that we

have another podcast called D Red Menace and it's an Australian comedy podcast.

They've also realized that there's two red menaces and had a funny little episode where

they talked about it.
