This Wreckage

Sean and Jamie are back from their magical Mexican vacation! We talk about why we love visiting Mexico, the legend of Trotsky's cookies, their Chiapas car calamity, La Chica Arana's summit with Corbyn and Amlo, a visit to Zapatista territory, Sean's run-in with a caravan of internally-displaced indigenous Mexicans, and, of course, doing acid on the beach.

We've been on vacation for the last week and a half, so we've decided to unlock some premium content from a couple of months ago for our subscribers-slash-not-yet-patrons. Enjoy!

When the alleged 'Florida Communist Front' outlined a concrete proposal to begin, fight and win a Protracted People's War from the Everglades, Antifada just had to take a deep dive into this dialectical swamp.

How can revolutionary forces utilize mangrove trees and reptilian fauna to overthrown imperialism in the capitalist core? How do we apply praxis from the Maoist insurgency in 1920s-40s to the great state of Florida today? How will FCF unite with the DPRK to get the NUKES that can defeat the running dogs of the imperialist bourgeoisie?

All will be revealed within.. that is, if this entire document isn't some incredibly well-honed satire. Regardless, the crew had a lot of fun with it!

Sean joins the DAMNED in an Antifada crossover episode with Pod Damn America for a special History is a Weapon about the Industrial Workers of the World, aka the wobblies. The anarchistic-Marxistic union organized hundreds of thousands of US workers with a goal of becoming "one big union" and abolishing class society. Jake Flores, Sean KB, and Alex Ptak recount some of their more dramatic adventures and how the economy of that era compares to the present moment. How can radicals of today learn lessons from the historical IWW without fetishizing them as simply badass soapbox militants with a snappy songbook?
