We created this podcast in recognition that there are a number of podcasts for the American “left,” but many of them focus heavily on the organizing of social democrats, progressives, and liberal democrats. Aside from that, on the left we are always fighting a war of ideas and if we do not continue to build platforms to share those ideas and the stories of their implementation from a leftist perspective, they will continue to be ignored, misrepresented, and dismissed by the capitalist media and as a result by the general public. Our goal is to provide a platform for communists, anti-imperialists, Black Liberation movements, ancoms, left libertarians, LBGTQ activists, feminists, immigration activists, and abolitionists to discuss radical politics, radical organizing and share their visions for a better world. Our goal is to center organizers who represent and work with marginalized communities building survival programs, defense programs, political education, and counterpower.

episode 78: Millennials Please Kill 2020
This episode is an informal recap of the hellish year that has been 2020. Joshua and Jared discuss various major events of the year, including moments of promise and frustration.
We talk about how COVID has changed our world, talk about anti-Black state violence and the movement against it, revisit the NBA strike that almost was, and ask what we have to show for all this electoralism. We finish up by talking about some of the amazing conversation we had this year.
As a quick note, we are six patrons away from our December goal. You can become one for basically whatever you can afford, like a dollar a month, or some people prefer to pay for the whole year up front, which you can do for less than $11 a year. You can do that at patreon.com/millennialsarekillingcapitalism.
We both just want to say thank you to everyone who has listened, shared, retweeted our conversations. We want to thank folks who have had study groups about episodes or conversations with others. And definitely thank you to those you who have financially supported us. We look forward to continuing to hold this space for political education in 2021 and beyond.
Now let’s say goodbye to 2020.
