Pretty Funny, Also 🤔
Good show. Undoubtedly the funniest of the “revolutions” podcasts. Lots of informative and insightful content. Though I fear they may never know the genius that is Wu Tang v Ninja (1985), aka Ninja Hunter.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP. 946: A BLACK MARXIST CRITIQUE OF BLACK MARXISM ft. AUGUST NIMTZ

Q: Is capitalism inherently racial, and to what extent is racism fundamental to capitalism's development rather than a preexisting social hierarchy that capitalism adapted to serve its interests?

Nimtz argues that capitalism is fundamentally based on social inequality and class exploitation, which he uses as a framework for understanding racism and other forms of oppression. He says racial slavery developed in connection with the Atlantic slave trade and earlier institutions of slavery and indentured servitude.

EP. 946: A BLACK MARXIST CRITIQUE OF BLACK MARXISM ft. AUGUST NIMTZ

Q: Can you please talk to us about what inspired you to write this corrective of Cedric Robinson's Black Marxism at this particular moment?

Nimtz says renewed attention to Robinson's book prompted him to bring his earlier critique back into print and update it. He connects the project to the danger of war and argues that working-class unity and a revolutionary workers' party are urgently needed.

EP. 945: JOHNNY CASH, PRISON ABOLITIONIST ft. ALEX SKOPIC

Q: What would accountability look like if punishment and incarceration were no longer the default responses to crime?

Skopic points to restorative justice, giving victims a meaningful role in decisions, exile in some cases, and work programs as possible alternatives. He emphasizes that many approaches have been proposed and that the conditions in prisons such as Angola make alternatives worth considering.

EP. 945: JOHNNY CASH, PRISON ABOLITIONIST ft. ALEX SKOPIC

Q: What did Cash understand about incarceration that many politicians and members of the public continue to overlook?

Skopic says Cash had experienced repeated short jail stays related to addiction and recognized that a medical problem was met with confinement rather than treatment. He understood the injustice of a system that could turn minor offenses into lasting harm.

WHAT FRESH HELL EP. 36

Q: Have Iran's relatively cheap drones and missiles and the use of geography of Hormuz Strait rendered numerous aircraft carrier groups ineffective and changed the way wars will be fought from here on out?

Kuba says drones and missiles have shifted the value of military systems, while carriers have long faced threats from advanced weapons. He argues that distance from the Gulf, supply problems and the possibility of successful drone or missile strikes add to carrier vulnerability, though he does not say carrier groups are simply ineffective.
