  • My Take on BLM

    Unpopular opinion time! We need socialism-not antiracism. Racism as well as neo-fascism, sexism, brutal "interventions", exploitation etc will continue under capitalism. Thus, BLM is a factionalist and concessionary movement- grounded in tweaking the capitalist system while ignoring the root cause. It is not revolutionary nor is it predicated on class struggle.

  • Episode 1: Croatian Ustasha Catholic Priest Karlo Petranovic

    This is the bizarre true story of the time my dad interviewed a low ranking Ustasha (Croatian fascist) war criminal in the early 1990s who had been living in my home town. I try to tie the pieces together. This is the remarkable true story of one of the many Ustasha and Nazi war criminals who escaped justice. Special thanks to my dad who conducted this interview many years ago. Thank you for listening. If you liked this episode please subscribe.

    **There are some errors in this episode. For example, I now know that it is very problematic to describe the Ustasha as mere Nazis- to understand why please listen to my episode on Jasenovac. 

    Another error is the genocide death toll which is known to be:

    300 000-500 000+ Serbs

    30 000+ Jews

    26 000+ Roma

    Tens of thousands of anti-fascists
