  • What’s the plan?

    Thoughtful criticism.

    The left urgently needs a plan though and it would be great to hear more about strategy and action for the left as a balance to the hours of criticism of both the left and the right.

  • Marc Cooper condescending tone

    Marc Cooper speaks so dismissively and disrespectfully to Suzi. It’s hard to listen to at times. He needs to stop interrupting her and stop belittling everything she says. It’s very off putting.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dig: Workers Organizing Workers w/ Eric Blanc
Q: Can worker-to-worker unionism actually generate leverage and power?
Yes, evidence suggests that worker-to-worker unionism has successfully won first contracts in several sectors and can mobilize against some of the biggest corporations by harnessing community support and leveraging brand power.
Dig: Workers Organizing Workers w/ Eric Blanc
Q: What do union staff do and why is it not enough?
Union staff generally focus on training worker leaders, conducting outreach, and facilitating organizing efforts. However, they are often limited by the need to work within a bureaucratic structure and a model that isn't scalable enough to organize millions of workers effectively.
Behind the News: Marxist Morality w/ Vanessa Wills
Q: What can we learn from the backlash against protests?
Backlash can provide lessons and spark future activism, indicating a dynamic process in social movements.
Behind the News: Marxist Morality w/ Vanessa Wills
Q: What kind of ideological clash occurs as a result of the protests?
Protests lead to increases in police budgets in response to ideological clashes between protest claims and the preferences of the constituents.
Behind the News: Marxist Morality w/ Vanessa Wills
Q: What is it that Marx found so problematic about Utopians?
He thought they were overly optimistic about mere philosophical theorizing alone, ascribing too much creative force to it without action.
