A recent article in the San Francisco Chronicle reported violent, and vile unlivable conditions in the city’s Hotels for the unhoused. From overdoses to rat infestations. We witnessed during the early days of the pandemic, the great source of refuge the single room occupancy hotels became for the city’s homeless. Are the hotels as bad as the Chronicle is reporting? Or is this hit piece perfect fodder for a crack down for a vulnerable population that is often overlooked and underfunded.

Is anti-racism a leftist politics? Or is it a clientelist politics that is the antithesis if being anti capitalist? Is race and capitalism forever intertwined? Is this ideology one of solidarity building or more radical liberal bourgeois politics trying to present itself as something more? Has Diversity and Inclusion, and implicit bias training helped close a racial divide? We'll ask these questions and more with professor Adolph Reed, Jr. and the return of Pascal Robert!

Oh guest got into an accident and couldn't make it. But we did what we had a good discussion nonetheless.
Is the left too preoccupied with parliamentary politics? Has the disintegration of the working class allowed a bourgeois liberalism to take its place? Is this allowing a power vacuum for the right? We'll discuss with journalist and scholar Anton Jäger.
Anton Jæger
Anton Jäger is a researcher at the Higher Institute for Philosophy at KU Leuven, Belgium
