The Party Line Christmas Special

Episode 14 - The Party Line Christmas SpecialThis episode begins with a rambling exploration of Christmas-themed inanities including the merits of home alone 2, papal bulls, and the crucial question of whether or not Jesus was a communist. We then (finally) respond to your listener questions! Merry Xmas and happy holidays from the team at The Party Line.Content:When the guns fell silent for Christmas during WWI | Red Flag https://www.montfort.org.br/eng/documentos/decretos/anticomunismo/https://www.montfort.org.br/eng/documentos/decretos/anticomunismo/ Divini Redemptoris (March 19, 1937) Rerum Novarum (May 15, 1891) Pope Francis: questions remain over his role during Argentina's dictatorship Pope Francis, the Catholic Church, and Argentina’s “Dirty War” - Freedom Socialist Party The contradictions of Christianity | Red Flag Huge thanks to our tireless editors Charlie Wardrop and Persephone Waxman.Please support us on patreon*****************This is a podcast by members of the Socialist Party in Naarm (Melbourne). We hope to bring a radical perspective to a podcast landscape dominated by insipid liberalism (looking at you, The Daily). The pod will come out weekly, and aims to breakdown news and current events from a socialist point of view. While a lot of what’s going on in the world is fairly bleak, The Party Line will try and highlight voices of resistance and struggle.If you like what you hear, please rate, subscribe and share with your friends, colleagues and comrades.

We need your help to build a fighting socialist movement that can take on both the far right and its centrist enablers.(The views and opinions expressed in our show are ours and ours alone, and do not reflect on the Socialist Party or Victorian Socialists.) This pod was produced on stolen land and we stand in solidarity with our Indigenous comrades in their ongoing fight against racism and capitalism.
