BRITISH BUCKET CONSPIRACY?!?! CAN ANYONE CONFIRM??? Jk. In this half-episode Evan goes through the 2014 movie Pride, based on the very real, very gay story of a group of British queer activists who in 1984 raised support for miners and their families during a brutal year-long strike. The movie doesn't say the handsome leader is a communist, but we know he is. And you can be too!

In this episode, we talk about a RI congressional candidate picked up in Ohio, racists in Charlestown, Nazis in Boston, and much much more. Then we interview Dave from Red Ink Community Library!

PLR Listeners! 

Alex has been uploading theory readings to the Patreon. For his half episode this week, he's providing the first chapter of Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations." If you don't know who Adam Smith was, you can consider him the daddy of Liberalism. He's also the #1 person on Marx's shit list in Capital. To understand Capital in its entirety, we have to understand what Adam Smith was arguing-- how he understood money, use and exchange value, trade, etc. 

Practice is only useful for a revolution if there is a revolutionary theory to connect it to a broader goal. The weight isn't in favor of one, its a balance.
