This Wreckage

The gang is back with special guest Shuja Haider, @shujaxhaider, writer-at-large for Outline Magazine and contributing editor of Viewpoint.

We begin with an analysis of the political economy of coronavirus, then continue with a lengthy discussion of the Bernie Sanders campaign. (You know we had to talk electoral politics eventually!) What kind of social forces are being brought together? What potentials might the campaign bring? What are the limits of electoralism and how does a robust anti-capitalist movement relate to politics-at-large?

Jamie is joined by writer, musician, and leftist shitposter Hether Fortune (@hetherrfortune), formerly of the band Wax Idols, for a recap of their canvassing trip to New Hampshire, which involved seeing Bernie open for the Strokes and starting a riot! Also: the state of the music biz, a bit of girl talk, and Hether spills the tea on why she quit White Lung.

Check out Hether's music at https://hetherfortune.bandcamp.com/

Closing song: Lydia Lunch - St. Marks Place

Jamie speaks with Faye Ecklar (@FayeEcklar), co-founder and VP of the Socialist Rifle Association, about gun control, mutual aid, and why it's a good idea to have an armed left. Find your local SRA chapter at https://socialistra.org!
