The Antifada

Sean and Jamie stick around to talk about Louisville finally forced to admit civil culpability in Breonna Taylor's murder and humongous private equity firm Blackrock making a bet on the bottom of the rental market with its recent mobile-home park investment.

Outro: Spits - Police

Jamie and Sean discuss what they've been reading and break down some news of the day: QAnon in Congress, the political transformation of a town in PA, and ICE's eugenics program. Just another fun, chill episode about rising fascism.

Sorry this went up late, we aren't feeling very well. :(

Bonus on killer cops (and killer investments) out Friday, 9/18

Outro music: Big Black - Jordan, Minnesota

Brace sticks around to talk about our punk origin stories, the pros and cons of a tribal subculture like punk, the death of Maximum Rock N' Roll, if punk has a future, and late-era Black Flag

Sean and Andy are joined with Brace from @trueanonpod to talk workers power, past and present: how unions are still central, how communist organizers like Harry Bridges, leader of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, exercised this power in the past, and how we can fight to bring it back today.

Sean and Jamie break down the tragic news out of Los Angeles, Kenosha and Portland, then broaden out the discussion to theories of political violence and revolutionary organization (and spontaneity)...

We continue to discuss the black radical tradition with Kazembe Balagun. In this episode we cover marxist feminists Angela Davis and Claudia Jones. We finish with a few questions about the continuation of these struggles into BLM and the George Floyd uprising, including a certain infamously cancelled Zoom call.

Many of the texts in question can be found in the Communist Research Cluster Black Radical Tradition reader: https://cominsitu.wordpress...

OG Antifadas Jamie and Sean plunk down on the podcasting couch for a light chat about two topical topics: the USPS and fascism.

How worker struggle created the modern USPS and how the Democrats shot themselves in the ass with decades of bipartisan attacks on it. Oh no, ICE Bae has an Onlyfans. Fascism: how does it work? Fascism and neoliberalism. Is Trump a fascist? Is Amerikkka? Various thinkers' attempts to define the big F...

More discussion of these strange times: partying in the age of Corona, the government's handling of the crisis vis a vis the working class', the international bourgeoisie's quest for stability, and Virgil's plan for abolishing the police and prisons.
