Given recent developments in Palestine, we felt it necessary to put out our thoughts on the situation.  In essence: Free Palestine!

We're joined by Evan from Left of the Projector Pod to discuss a couple of pieces of culture from the New Deal Era.  We start by taking a look at the fascistic Gabriel Over the White House, brought to you by arch-reactionary and media oligarch, William Randolph Hearst.  We then move to the meat of the discussion on a decidedly better piece of culture, The Grapes of Wrath, in its various media manifestations.

The Biden admin announced the creation of the American Climate Corps last week and we had to talk about it.  We talk about the movements and organizations that won this concession from Biden, the US's role on the global stage in the context of climate, and of course resurgent comparisons to the New Deal and FDR, driven by the Administration itself. 

As Biden dons the "borrowed costumes" of the administration that saved Capitalism, we have to ask ourselves: "Is it time for the Farce?"

We're joined by regular cooperator Mike from the Turn Leftist podcast to discuss Capital Vol. 1, Ch. 12-14.   How can competitiveness be harnessed for good, if it can be at all?  How have these behaviors and impulses shaped, and been shaped, by different modes of production through history?  One thing we unequivocally agreed on throughout the discussion is you can never have too much jolly cooperation.

Steve takes the reins in this one as we discuss an article by Tamseel Aqdas from Modern Diplomacy: Capitalism and the Fabrication of Food Insecurity.  We tie in themes of imperialism and domestic issues as we discuss food insecurity for what it really is: class war.

Nick went on Left of the Projector to talk about the Hobbit movies with fellow Tolkienists Evan, Hungry Rye, and Mike from Turn Leftist.

If there ever was any doubt that capitalism has major impacts on movies, this is the ultimate evidence. A wonderful kids book, 250 pagse in length was turned into a trilogy of movies over 8 hours long. There are pointless battles, characters, love triangles and other revisionism. I'm joined by my LOTR companion, Hungry Rye (who you may remember from the LOTR Trilogy of episodes), Mike (turn leftist podcast) and Nick (Intervention podcast) to discuss.

In this article series entry into our PZE series, we discuss the ongoing protests in Israel in light of the Netanyahu government's assault on "Israeli democracy" via judicial "reform." The main question is of course: democracy for whom?

Here's a link to a compilation of articles that Levi synthesized for your reference:
