Ep 69 - Abolish Justice Hubs w/ Nadja Guyot Oct 02, 2019

Show notes

Two years ago, prison abolitionists succeeded in convincing the government of the city of New York to agree to close the torturous jail on Rikers Island. The solution? A kinder, friendlier, "neighborhood" jail in each borough! With a decisive city council vote coming up, prison abolitionist Nadja Guyot from No New Jails joins us to talk about the fight against these absurd "Justice Hubs," decarceration, and practical abolitionism.

Ep 68 - FALC the System w/ Aaron Bastani Sep 25, 2019

Show notes

Novara Media's Aaron Bastani calls in to talk Brexit before we dive into Fully Automated Luxury Communism, the meme he created way back in the mid '10s, now a book available from Verso. What is luxury? Are we coming closer to FALC with each bite of the Impossible Whopper? Should it more appropriately be called FALKensyianism? Will the Green New Deal lead to FALC or continued late capitalist Dystopia? Bastani answers all these burning questions and more.

The United Auto Workers union is striking General Motors in the largest work stoppage since the same union struck in 2007. Andy and Sean jump on mic with an emergency pod to discuss the context of this job action, how the left might relate to the recent upsurge in labor militancy, and what labor history tells us about how to organize and win!

Ep 65 - It's-a me, Gladio! w/ J. G. Michael Sep 04, 2019

Show notes

In this special crossover of Antifada, Proletkult, History is a Weapon, and Parallax Views we take a dive into the "stay behind operations" after World War II designed to protect Western Europe from leftist victory at any cost--including coups, assassinations, and false flag terror plots. Conspiracy theory? Nope! PARAPOLITICS.

Ep 63 - Ricky Martin Renuncia w/ Molly Crabapple Aug 21, 2019

Show notes

Friend of the show Molly Crabapple (@mollycrabapple) joins us to talk about getting arrested with a bunch of her fellow Jews at last week's Amazon/ICE protest, the Punisher logo, and the importance of antifascism. She then gives us an overview of the protests in Puerto Rico that exploded when now-former governor Ricardo Rosselló's ghoulish frat boy chat logs were leaked to the press. Asambleas! Flags! The nationalism of the colonial subject! Ricky Martin!
