Coffee with Comrades

Episode 3: “Kylo Ren was a School Shooter” - A Leftist Analysis of Star Wars, Ep. VIII: The Last Jedi

On today's show, Bree and Pearson take you to a galaxy far, far away for a leftist analysis of the most controversial Star Wars film to date—Ep. VIII: The Last Jedi. But, before digging into the day's discussion, our hosts explore some current events:

- The Occupy ICE movement continues to grow

- The rest of the J20 Defendants had their charges dropped

- All prisoners are political prisoners

- A heat-wave has lead to global high temperatures

- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wins, the Right loses its collective shit

After discussing legitimate criticisms of the film, Bree and Pearson spend the majority of the episode exploring The Last Jedi by studying some of the movie's overarching themes: militarism, fascism, feminism, animal liberation, materialism vs. idealism, class, anti-statism, the "great man of history" myth, egoism, and why we fight the empire.

Pour yourself a cup of coffee and enjoy!

May the Force be with you, comrades.

Episode 2: "Arm The Proletariat, Not The Police" - Violence, Control, & Liberation

On this episode of Coffee with Comrades, Bree and Pearson explore the history of gun control in the United States, tracing the legacy of the Black Panthers' armed resistance in order to better understand the racist enforcement of gun control legislation. After diving into the causes of mass violence in the U.S. today, Bree and Pearson then briefly discuss the barrier police pose to our safety and security. The conversation culminates in a dialogue about what gun culture might look like on the left, ultimately concluding in an argument for community liberation and self-defense.

On today's episode, Bree and Pearson dig into the Kafkaesque cluster-fuck that is ICE and the CBP, examining the historical context of these relatively young agencies. As outrage explodes over the detention of children and the separation of families, resistance, defiance, and the #OccupyICE movement grows across stolen lands. Bree and Pearson dissect the reactionary mind and challenge tepid liberal reformism, calling instead for direct action, mutual aid, and a movement that makes ICE obsolete.
