The blatant murder of George Floyd set off a wave of demonstrations and civil unrest. Will this amorphous movement focus on clear demands? The state seems to have responded with violence; have we created a police state, what do we do about it? Slowly we have realized that the delicate balance that maintained order in our society was sitting atop an…

About a month ago my friend Djovan Henriques of the Belligerent Nature podcast had me on his show to talk about Tara Reade who had recently been interviewed by Katie Halper so she could voice her allegation of sexual assault against Joe Biden. Since then the story has finally been picked up by mainstream media and it's seemed to have caused some co…

We don't really talk about class in America but without class consciousness, we will not be able to understand power well enough to win reforms. The elites have been waging a war against the interests of those who are not privileged enough to be in their class and don't have their free-market orthodoxy. Learning about their tactics is also essentia…

Tension is building as some have begun to protest the stay-at-home orders; will we simply chastise them and call them idiots, or can we look a bit deeper at their concerns and try to empathize with them and focus our energy at holding the people with power accountable instead? They ultimately don't trust the government we have today, and frankly, I…

In the face of the ongoing crisis, focusing on solutions is the best course of action; however, the transformative change we want cannot be implemented without power. Will we strike the balance between insider and outsider strategy to actually make a change in Washington that will for once benefit the working class? Are our allies who become inside…

The pandemic undoubtedly has caused severe economic distress which we haven't yet really felt yet. Congress pushed through what seemed to be a historic stimulus package but is it actually comprehensive enough to meet the gravity of this unprecedented situation? We seem to have forgotten the frank and decisive leadership of FDR, but if we do study h…

Covid-19 panic starts to hit the United States. Different parts of the country are shutting down, workers are being laid off, and our leaders are scrambling to try and respond in a way that will be proportional to the kind of devastation we could see on the horizon. After this crisis, we will emerge a new nation and perhaps a new planet. Will we gi…

Pandemic creeps up on humanity and we seem generally unprepared. How will we respond? Will we learn from this or give into panic? Mainstream Media's narrative beats organizing again in the democratic primary as Joe Biden tightens his grip on the nomination. Will we trust a deteriorating candidate who represents the same neo-liberal policies that go…

Welcome on our trek through the ideological desert! In this episode, I introduce the podcast and jump straight into a post-mortem of Super Tuesday and where Bernie and his #NotMeUs movement can go from here. Jim Clyburn saves the day, Obama assembles the centrists, Bernie gets beat on Super Tuesday, but it's still neck and neck. A new race has emer…
