Andy and Sean discuss the invasion in Gaza, Israel's move towards ethnic cleansing, the history of proletarian resistance in Palestine, and theorize class conflict between the Israeli and Palestinian national projects and its working classes. We also talk about what all this means for those communists in the US removed from the conflict.

Sean KB welcomes to the show two teachers (Carolyn Hietter and Ian Seda) from the John Jay College Department of Economics (Marxist) to discuss their program and the goings-on at the City University of New York since the beginning of the atrocities in Gaza: the McCarthyite administration's war on free speech, the massive shifts within the bourgeois university over preceding decades which led to it, and how John Jay's Econ department is pushing in another direction. We ask the essential question: What might a working class education by and for the working class might look like? Find out for yourself and apply to the CUNY if you are looking for a radical education.

E250: La CUNY Lucha Continúa w/ Carolyn Hietter & Ian J. Seda-Irizarry

It's been four years since the demise of Sandersism in the United States. It's been two years since the COVID-19 crisis upended society and Russia invaded Ukraine. Socialist politics is, if anything, even more fractured and impotent than it was last decade. What do we make of the deep melancholy gripping politics today? How have the various political solutions on offer been delegitimated? And why is Sean KB seemingly immune to this melancholy? (Hint: it's the Independent Labor Club.) This is an extended preview of the full three-hour discussion.
