In which we read a history of American Evangelicalism and its tenuous relationship with intellectualism. Why did American Protestantism evolve into such a bizarre collection of denominations? What role did they play in America's bourgeois revolution? What's next?

NEW EPISODE
In which we talk about the USSR and are introduced to the idea of a "non-mode" of production. Does a mode have to be stable and capable of reproducing itself on its own? What does that mean for the transition to communism?
Let us know when you have the answer.
On Monday of this week, Hamas' Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip published an updated list of those killed in the war, a 1,227-page chart, arranged from youngest to oldest. The Arabic-language document includes the deceased person's full name, the names of the father and grandfather, date of birth and ID number. Unlike previous lists, this compilation notes the precise age of children who were under the age of one year when they were killed. Mahmoud al-Maranakh and seven more children died on the same day they were born. Four more children were killed on the day after they entered the world, five others lived to the age of two days. Not until page 11, following 486 names, does the name appear of the first child who was more than six months old when he was killed.
The death toll of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza is now estimated at 100,000
The list is 1,227 pages long.
The first 11 pages are names of babies dead before the age of 6 months.
The first 381 pages are all children.

Take that political marxists!
