Hindsight Quite Literally 2020
Episode 5 of season 1 is especially relevant in this year 2025. For those that have previously been naïvely optimistic of the promises of the US government and culture, this series is an excellent deconstruction of those preconceived notions. It helps to re-wire the brain to be more comfortable with our newly formed distrust of public agencies and disastrous economic structures. It also illustrates that we are not alone in this disillusion, for there are many who caught on before these recent events transpired. All of this is perfectly juxtaposed by the absurdity of the propaganda that circulated in comics of years past, giving a better idea of how these outdated ideas can only stand when one is playing an overactive role in polishing the boots for the war state’s ideals.

Excellent and Entertaining Analysis
As I told this creator, I’m not much of a podcast listener, but I’m hooked on this one. Each episode is engaging, moving, and quite funny. There’s a lot of valuable information, and the show models excellent leftist analysis— here are ways to understand the horrors of our world through comics. The music and sound design are also fantastic. Looking forward to the next season!

Great listen
Marvelous dissection of horrifying events and how they are further perpetuated through pop culture. Excellent research & context combined with deep comix lore.

You got incisive leftist critique all in my pop culture!
This show has found the line between entertainment, education and media criticism - and walks it deftly in every polished, tightly-produced episode. If the modern superhero always struck you as kinda fascist but you can’t help having grown up on them, CAC is right there with you. I have never had a thought or opinion that mattered, so I don’t generally write reviews - but this show’s worth checking out.

Comics and communism
The crossover you have always wanted but didn’t know to ask for… Deep dives into comics but with enough backstory and detail that you don’t have to have read them. The material analysis is dialectic and easy to follow. Super well edited and the music crushes it.

you got your chocolate in my peanut butter!
focusing on two of my favorite things- comic books & anti-capitalism- blended together in a sophisticated, whimsical manner suitable for major broadcast, Collective Action Comix (the joke being that these don’t really exist- wait, but what about ‘That Distant Fire’??) scratches an itch I didn’t even know I had prior to hearing the first episode. Breaking down a run of comics for astute material analysis, this series balances plot & characters critique with applicable real world parallels and asides expertly, creating almost addictive edutainment for leftist pulp nerds.

Best Leftist Comic Podcast Ever
Informative and entertaining, with excellent music and production throughout. Highly recommended for all leftists and comic fans.

CAC is a breath of fresh air. It’s funny, and the writing has personality. There is no stiffness; fluidity and genuine joy characterizes the sound design, script and humor. It explains left wing concepts that might be foreign to listeners and ties them back into a larger discussion. It’s an instant yes from me.

Good stuff!
The host seems like he’s very passionate about what he talks about, and his knowledge of comic books is great for people like me who barely read em’ but love the iconic characters that came from them. Look forward to what comes next.
