Southpaw

This is an improvised and unplanned episode by Sam after the death of his friend. He talks about his friend, he talks about cancer, he talks about Medicare for All, he talks about what human suffering looks like in politics, and he talks about fighting for people you don't know because that's what you want people to do for you.

If you think we can't rely on the moral sense of our oppressors not to oppress us, you might already be a Marxist. Marxism is ultimately about systems rather than only about the individuals. When something bad happens, rather than only thinking "what's wrong with this individual" but also asking "what's wrong with this system? What's enabling these individuals? How do we change the system to prevent more of this from happening," you're working your way through the same questions Marxism asks. Then learning more about Marxism can help refine some of your thinking and fill in some gaps.

We discuss what happened in the rematch between Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury, along with the wild world of judging in MMA with Paul Felder vs. Dan Hooker. Both fights were exciting for different reasons, one was razor close, while the other should have been close but ended up lopsided.

We not only analyze the face punching of Jones vs. Reyes but also take an in depth look at the judging criteria. Through a Leftist lens, you can't analyze the fight without also analyzing the system.

Sam speaks with professor Ronald Purser about the neoliberalism of mindfulness, the libertarianism of self-help, and the corporate piracy, cultural appropriation, exploitation, and racism of privatized mysticism and New Age. Ronald is a writer, a Professor of Management at San Francisco State University, as well as an ordained Buddhist teacher. He has written a new book called McMindfulness: How Mindfulness Became the New Capitalist Spirituality.

If you've been skeptical at all about self-help, the mindfulness movement, New Age, productivity/ hustle porn, or different programs HR and management are always trying to incorporate into your lives, this is the episode you've been waiting for.

Sam speaks with Maximillian Alvarez. Maximillian is a teacher, writer, philosopher, agitator, a PhD candidate in both history and comparative literature, an unapologetic socialist, and also the host of “Working People.” In their conversation, Maximillian explains what he's learned from talking to working people, the common humanity we all share, and that maybe bad things happen not because of bad people but because of systems that pit people against one another.
