How We Do It

Are old racialist tropes re-emerging from the progressive left in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis? What is race reductionism and why does it have neoliberal trajectories? Adolph Reed, Jr. joins us to address these matter as well as riff on the Bernie campaign and what the left must do going forward.

The results are in: the Bolivian election in October 2019 was not rigged. And yet, former President Evo Morales has been ousted from the country and many of his MAS officials are being held to stand trial for corruption. The illegitimate interim leaders of Bolivia are sympathizers of Christian fascists, and the majority indigenous working class are all but disenfranchised... And this outcome is based on a lie. Joining us this week to explain is Jake Johnston, a research associate at the Center for Economic and Policy Research.
