    About this audiobook

    Instant New York Times bestseller
    “Howard Zinn on acid or some bullsh*t like that.” —Tim Heidecker

    The creators of the cult-hit podcast Chapo Trap House deliver a manifesto for everyone who feels orphaned and alienated—politically, culturally, and economically—by the lanyard-wearing Wall Street centrism of the left and the lizard-brained atavism of the right: there is a better way, the Chapo Way.

    In a guide that reads like “a weirder, smarter, and deliciously meaner version of The Daily Show’s 2004 America (The Book)” (Paste), Chapo Trap House shows you that you don’t have to side with either sinking ships. These self-described “assholes from the internet” offer a fully ironic ideology for all who feel politically hopeless and prefer broadsides and tirades to reasoned debate.

    Learn the “secret” history of the world, politics, media, and everything in-between that THEY don’t want you to know and chart a course from our wretched present to a utopian future where one can post in the morning, game in the afternoon, and podcast after dinner without ever becoming a poster, gamer, or podcaster.

    A book that’s “as intellectually serious and analytically original as it is irreverent and funny” (Glenn Greenwald, New York Times bestselling author of No Place to Hide) The Chapo Guide to Revolution features illustrated taxonomies of contemporary liberal and conservative characters, biographies of important thought leaders, “never before seen” drafts of Aaron Sorkin’s Newsroom manga, and the ten new laws that govern Chapo Year Zero (everyone gets a dog, billionaires are turned into Soylent, and logic is outlawed). If you’re a fan of sacred cows, prisoners being taken, and holds being barred, then this book is NOT for you. However, if you feel disenfranchised from the political and cultural nightmare we’re in, then Chapo, let’s go…

    Chapo Trap House

    Chapo Trap House is a collective of writers, artists, and satirists that began as a political comedy podcast in March 2016. Their biweekly show has been covered everywhere from The New Yorker and The Guardian to VICE and Paste magazine, which calls its creators “the vulgar, brilliant demigods of the new progressive left.” Chapo is a mix of absurdist comedy and freewheeling commentary, skewering political and media figures and reviewing bad movies and books. Originally a trio of Internet-pals Will Menaker, Felix Biederman, and Matt Christman, the show has expanded its roster to writers Brendan James, Amber A’Lee Frost, and Virgil Texas. They live in Brooklyn, New York.

      Deterministically written for Avery specific kind of American Millennials. The book’s theoretical scope is weak and lacks the historical rigor to truly explain the global threat of capitalism. I would not recommend it if you want to learn about the current state of the world or less be guided for any kind of revolution, this isn’t a guide to anything, save your time and money.

      The Chapo TH are self described comedians and this book does not fail that self description. A cynical joke at a time we need to be more serious than ever.

      A disservice to whatever remains of the left.

      Pure sensationalism to make a buck. Opinioniated rhetoric drawn from a revisionist view of history and media propaganda. Obviously written for people who beleive anything if its said loud and frenquently enough.

      Great if you are new to it and want a less stuffy, boring intro to leftism broadly (though the print book has pictures), a fun read for leftists who are sick of the stuffiness. Serious leftists and academics should read the subtitle and relax, and, probably most importantly since this is still the internet, this is sure to anger anyone who dislikes and disparages the so-called dirtbag left. If you don’t know which one of these groups you fit into, give it a try, you may or may not learn something.
    • 3/5
      Longtime listeners will find few novel ideas in the manifesto–it provides a boiler plate rundown of the political philosophy of the Chapo hosts and the “dirtbag Left” more broadly. Clever witticisms and thoughtful jokes abound, and the audiobook benefits tremendously from the performance and comedic delivery of the hosts. Chapo diehards will likely enjoy the (admittedly familiar) gags, but newcomers will find their esoteric commentary style nearly inscrutable. Ultimately, it’s a quick read if you’re looking for a laugh on your way to and from your soul-crushing job at the Racism Factory.

      The bastards won.

      Sometimes you just need a little catharsis.

      Chapo is good praxis.

      This book is a sort of political satire. It can give a little insight into the political world, but it seems to me that it was just a lot of bashing and rudeness. Yes our political system is failing and something to make jokes about, but these jokes failed miserably.I have never listened to these guys on the podcast, but I may tried to. Their humor may come across better if I actually hear it over reading it.
