About this episode

Joshua Citarella interviews Brace Belden about socialism, political dynamics, and art.

My guest is Brace Belden, a co-host of TrueAnon. This episode marks the 2 year anniversary of Doomscroll. We explore the recent socialist wins and to look ahead toward 2028. We discuss AOC, the anti-social tendencies of Woke 1 and the new factional splits tearing apart the right. Later, we discuss Brace’s avant-garde art project. Our conversation covers the strange history of the American left. We ask: what does socialism mean today?
