In this first episode of interviewing socialist politicians, Jorge interviews Stephanie Gallardo, a Democratic Socialist running for U.S. Congress in Washington's 9th Congressional District. Stephanie is a Seattle native who is a teacher, union leader, and a DSA endorsed candidate for office. Stephanie's campaign is distinct from many running for office because she is running on an explicitly anti-imperialist platform. For her, being an anti-imperialist is personal for the U.S. intervention in Chile led to her family needing to escape the Pinochet regime. Furthermore, she is pro-Palestinian sovereignty and is as an abolitionist. Be sure to listen to this interview with Stephanie Gallardo.

In this exciting conclusion to our series on State and Revolution, the ELC crew engages with Chapter 6, which is Lenin's summary of different arguments had by his contemporaries. Lenin dissects arguments made by reformist Marxists like Georgi Plekhanov and Karl Kautsky, contemporary anarchist thought, and "left Radicals" like Antonie Pannekoek. He simultaneously attacks those he calls opportunists like Kautsky, while distinguishing his position from those of Anarchists. What is the difference between Marxism and Anarchism? Why did Lenin leave State and Revolution unfinished? Jamie, Jorge, and Aaron discuss.
