  • (Ep. 68) Our Culture Is Killing Us - From The Reactionary, Anti-Homeless Response to the Bob Lee Murder to the Four Indefensible Shootings Across the Country - Our Culture is to Blame
    Bob Lee, tech tycoon, was stabbed to death in San Francisco and the power elite turned all of their ire on the unhoused. The murderer was actually another tech tycoon.
    Ralph Yarl, Kaylin Gillis, two cheerleaders, and a 6 year old child were amongst the victims of four separate, terrifying, unjustifiable shootings and murders across the country.
    Join us as we discuss how our culture here in the United States created, feeds, and supports a fractured society where these sorts of atrocities are merely background noise.

    Trump is indicted, arrested, and arraigned... and it changes nothing at all.

    Let's discuss bottom up power, what hope means in the political sense, and how we can win.

    • (Ep. 64) How We Talk About The Unhoused - The Rhetoric That Unmakes Us

      Let's talk about the rhetoric surrounding how we dehumanize and other the unhoused of this country and turn them from neighbors into existential enemies with our words.

      "You cannot  truly help those that you do not Respect.

      Pity is not respect, victimization is not respect. Criminalizing mere existence and co-existence is not even close to respect.

      And without respect we cannot move forward.

      And if we continue to do nothing then these bodies which we step over, they will be our legacy."

    • (Ep. 63) How We Talk About Labor - A Rearview Look at the Railroad Dispute, the Media, and Us.
      Not only does capital have control of the government and media, it also has control of the cultural zeitgeist and it has a hold so powerful that most of us hear a so called journalist ask a locomotive repairman making 80 grand a year or something whether fighting for the ability to not work while they are uncontrollably defecating water and physically decimated and not get fired for it is worth destroying the economy and we sit there in front of our TVs and think, yeah, man is it worth it?
      We just go with it rather than open our eyes a bit and say, “Why in the world is this anchor not asking those 5 corporate dorks why they refuse to let sick workers stay home and heal?”
      It doesn’t even enter our heads because we’ve been fully subsumed into this absolute insanity we call this country.
      We blame a boilermaker for wanting a few sick days and accuse them of trying to destroy the country instead of punching the dork ceo who refuses to give our fellow workers those sick days right in the face.
      Really consider what I’m trying to say here. Please. It’s a deeply sick state of affairs that we blame each other and don;t even see where the real power, evil, and problem lies.
      It’s not the guy with the sledgehammer, I’ll tell you that much.Wages, benefits, time off, sick days, and safety are just some of the battle grounds and they are the ones most stories like this tend to focus on. But there are other battles as well, ones that are just as important, if not more so.
      We fight for respect, we fight for dignity, we fight for quality of life.
      The war is fought for justice and equity and our very humanity

    • (EP. 62) How Labor Unions Help Reduce Racism and Bigotry
      We need to organize, unionize, work together, and undertake ventures which by their mere existence helps us all see that there are goals out there worth achieving and that the best way to do so is to make cause of common interests no matter our race or creed or culture and, even more importantly, no matter the race, creed, or culture of the worker standing with us on the picket lines as we fight for better wages, better lives, and healthier bodies.
      Unions aren’t the only way there, but I would say that the efficacy that they bring into the fight is utterly indispensable.

    • (Ep. 61) [Book Talk] ECONOMISM - Bad Economics and the Rise of Inequality, by James Kwak

      (Ep. 61) [Book Talk] ECONOMISM - Bad Economics and the Rise of Inequality, by James Kwak

      In “Economism: Bad Economics and the Rise of Inequality”, James Kwak makes a compelling case that an overly simplistic understanding of economics (‘Econ 101’) is exacerbating the economic, social, and political problems of both the United States and the world at large.

      It’s extremely important to understand that these simple ideas are being used to mislead us, to lie to us, to cheat us. Kwak does an admirable job of making this clear. And it is equally as important to be alert and to recognize when this is happening so that you can better understand exactly what it is that people are trying to do.

    • (Ep. 60) Class, Labor, and Solidarity

      Today I want to talk about class, solidarity, and the labor struggle.

      I’m going to argue that the way we use class in the united states is purposefully misleading, intentionally vague and, ultimately, destructive.

      Class, when defined properly, is an incredibly important concept. But, as we will see, the way we talk about class in the united states borders on gibberish. Terms like the middle class and upper middle class are absolute nonsense.

      The key to making real, lasting change in the country is the working class, the vast amounts of wage workers who truly make this country run and generate value all throughout the economy.

    • (Ep. 59) William "Big Bill" Haywood - A Life Larger Than Most

      Let’s talk about William “Big Bill” Dudley Haywood!

      Standing at 6 feet tall and weighing well over 200 pounds, Big Bill was truly larger than life as he battled mining trusts, corporations, private armies, and government forces alike. He fought them with his agile mind, his calloused knuckles, and probably most importantly he damaged them with his words.

      He, along with Mother Jones and Eugene Debs, dominated the labor movement of the late 19th to the mid 20th centuries in a way that is still felt even today.

      Some activists may have been smarter in one way or another, some more well read in theory, and others more effective at maneuvering, but none left as indelible a mark on the country as these three.

      And Big Bill? Well, he left a mark on the world unlike any other…
