Those who have been following the labor movement in the US have surely witnessed the bold moves and great victories being made by the rank and file workers of the United Auto Workers union. Much of this was driven by the Unite All Workers for Democracy (UAWD) caucus, and today on the show we have Scott Houldieson, a member of UAW local 551, and the current chair of UAWD. Scott breaks down the timeline of events that lead to the the reformation of their union, the major strike they took on, and the struggles they're facing ahead.

Fight Back! Radio is taking a bit of a turn in today's episode as we step away from covering the activism going on in the streets and talk about the knowledge contained within the sheets, that is, Marxist-Leninist theory.

Josh Sykes has put in a lot of work in the streets, but has also written a book: The Revolutionary Science of Marxism-Leninism. In today's episode we discuss what Marxism-Leninism is and how it can and should be applied to our activism.

Buy Josh's book, "The Revolutionary Science of Marxism-Leninism".

As the struggle for Palestinian Liberation continues, Meredith Aby reminds us that this struggle won't end well for Israel.
