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.

Right wing media has had a stranglehold on terrestrial radio and cable news for decades. What led the right to dominate the airwaves and brainwash a generation?
About Jen Senko
Jen Senko, a documentary filmmaker, author, and media-activist based in New York City, is known for her award-winning documentaries; Road Map Warrior Women (2000), The Vanishing City (2010), and The Brainwashing of My Dad (2016) narrated by Matthew Modine. In 2021, The Brainwashing of My Dad received the prestigious People's Voice Award in Public Service & Activism from The Webby Awards. Senko's adaptation of her film into a book of the same name (published on October 5, 2021) tracks the pernicious and addictive rise of right-wing media and how this media served as a tool for libertarian billionaires to get people to vote against their own interests and gain one-party rule. Jen's work focuses on socio political themes with the intent of inspiring activism and fomenting change.

30 years ago America watched in horror as South Central Los Angeles burned after the not guilty verdict was announced in the Rodney King police beating. 28 years later we saw a country wide eruption of frustration over law enforcement's extra judicial killings of George Floyd and Breona Taylor. From 1968 in Watts, to 1992 in South Central, to 2020 what is the main function of these uprisings and what have they accomplished in their wake? What has changed with law enforcement? Is the idea of reforming law enforcement a bourgeois project? Has BLM or Abolish/Defund the Police helped or is it simply a more radical hashtag activism? We’ll ask these questions and more.
