Douglas Lain of Zer0 Books chats with us slightly youngsters about zines, indymedia, adbusters anti-globalization, anti-war, and the world this radicalism has left us with. Was it all radical liberalism or did 2008 break part of the counterculture towards a revolutionary path?

The editor of Zer0 Books and host of Zer0 Squared talks about his recent video that was too hot for Youtube. What is "the Great Reset," what does Christopher Lasch's "The Revolt of the Elites" have to say about (via Paul Sweezy and the Johnson-Forest Tendency), and how did that critique not go far enough? We also discuss Doug's sectarian background and new media strategies for the left in general.

Jamie and Andy sit down with the great Marxist historian, author, activist and urban theorist Mike Davis to review the year that was. Topics include the California wildfires, the Covid-19 pandemic, the George Floyd uprising, and that wet fart of an election. Why is everything so terrible and what should anti-capitalist organizers be focusing on going into 2021? All will be revealed.

Santa visits us to deck the halls with boughs of... holly. We talk about the left "negationists" and their defenders like Noam Chomsky, the Faurrison affair and connection with current culture wars about free speech, and the Bordigist critique at their heart of their milieu. Scholar of religious discrimination Dave Silverberg then presents his thesis that Marx's On the Jewish Question is misread as an antisemitic text. Finally, we draw some conclusions about labor party expulsions and other contemporary controversies surrounding antisemitism. Merry Christmas!

In order to discuss the appalling ways that poor white people are portrayed in the United States, we had to have on Tarence (@tarenceray) from the Trillbilly Workers Party. We all watched JD Vance's execrable 'Hillbilly Elegy' so you don't have to.
Out of this came a great discussion about deindustrialization, rural poverty, the opioid epidemic and media portrayals of that figure of derision and fear, 'the white working class'. What changes to US political economy caused widespread immiseration over the last 50 years in places like Appalachia? How have politics failed the workers in these communities? And what dark visions do the Charles Murrays and JD Vances of the world have for a solution to the rural poverty problem?
