Peter Hudis is a professor of the humanities and philosophy at Oakton Community College and a member of the IMHO or International Marxist Humanist Organization and in this episode of the Zero Books podcast we attempt to discuss the idea that African Americans are the vanguard of revolutionary socialism but pretty quickly get stuck discussing just how or whether the racial categories that are have arisen historically and are familiar to us today are intrinsic to capitalism as a mode of production.
This week’s podcast is available in full for our patrons. Our Patreon supporters get access to two podcasts every week: Symptomatic Redness and Zero Squared, but if you’re listening on our free feed you’ll always be able to access one or the other podcasts each week. I hope you enjoy them.

Derick Varn continues his conversation with Zero Books author and media star Ben Burgis. They pivot to more arcane topics, beginning with Trotsky and Trot organizations. What are the ideological differences between the ISO and the Spartacus League?
They start by recollecting how small the Marxist tendency was in the 90s as opposed to its relative popularity today, but quickly move on to the difference between dialectical logic and Aristotelian logic.
