November 20, 2025 EP. 812: THE LIMITS OF FAMILY ABOLITION ft. EVELINA JOHANSSON WILÉN
Read Evelina's piece on the limits of family Abolition here: https://jacobin.com/.../family-abolition-capitalism...

Family abolitionists see the family as the beating heart of capitalist social reproduction. But this view of the family misunderstands both the structure of capitalist reproduction and the complexity of how people survive within it.

November 19, 2025 EP. 811: LAND OF WOLVES: SICARIO FILM REVIEW ft. RALPH LEONARD
Read Ralph's review here: https://thelastdvd.com/land-of-wolves/

It’s become a joke, a rather well-worn one by now, to say that Donald Trump has been getting ideas about fighting the war on drugs from Denis Villeneuve’s film Sicario. That film, and its vastly inferior sequel, depicted clandestine paramilitary operations that go beyond usual police measures used by the US government agencies against the Mexican drug cartels in the border region. In the real world, the American state has accelerated the para-militarisation of the war against the drug cartels.

Earlier this year, Trump ordered the State Department to declare the Latin American drug cartels as “terrorist organisations.” In August, Trump signed a directive permitting the Pentagon to use military force against those cartels. Mexico is the target most people will have in mind. But it also included Venezuela, Guatemala, and El-Salvador.

November 17, 2025 EP. 810: WHY ULTRA LEFTISM WON'T SAVE PALESTINE ft. ERIC BLANC
Read Eric's interview here: https://www.laborpolitics.com/.../ultra-leftism-wont-help...

Two years after October 7, public outrage against Israel is widespread, yet the US grassroots movement in solidarity with Palestine is nowhere near as powerful as it needs to be. While Trump’s ceasefire plan might provide relief from Israel’s genocidal onslaught, Gaza has been decimated, and the proposed deal would codify a vastly deteriorated situation for millions of Palestinians.
To discuss how American organizers might more effectively fight to support Palestinians’ rights to freedom and self-determination, I spoke with Bashir Abu-Manneh, who is writing a book provisionally entitled Disposable Palestinians, and Hoda Mitwally, a member of New York City Democratic Socialists of America and LSSA/UAW Local 2320 speaking in a personal capacity.
