Like any good marxist project, after suffering an electoral/strategic defeat, we embark upon a cultural turn- beginning with a discussion of the star wars prequels. Ian and Greg are joined by past guest Sariah, and new folks Jazz and Sharif. everyone but Ian thinks these are decent movies, Ian thinks that the Republic is an illegitimate oligarchic institution built on human supremacy and an exploitative economic system that operates as little more than a "soft" version of the empire. We only mention Joe Biden 2 times.
