On this edition of Vampire Castle, Jamie and Leslie (@leslieleeiii) discuss the iconic 1994 film The Crow starring the late Brandon Lee, as well as its somewhat less iconic 1996 sequel, The Crow: City of Angels. "But wait, that's not a vampire movie!" Are you sure about that? Listen and be convinced.

Intro: Intellectual Dark Wave - Vampire Castle

Outro: Hole - Gold Dust Woman (Fleetwood Mac cover)

Two years ago, prison abolitionists succeeded in convincing the government of the city of New York to agree to close the torturous jail on Rikers Island. The solution? A kinder, friendlier, "neighborhood" jail in each borough! With a decisive city council vote coming up, prison abolitionist Nadja Guyot from No New Jails joins us to talk about the fight against these absurd "Justice Hubs," decarceration, and practical abolitionism.

Novara Media's Aaron Bastani calls in to talk Brexit before we dive into Fully Automated Luxury Communism, the meme he created way back in the mid '10s, now a book available from Verso. What is luxury? Are we coming closer to FALC with each bite of the Impossible Whopper? Should it more appropriately be called FALKensyianism? Will the Green New Deal lead to FALC or continued late capitalist Dystopia? Bastani answers all these burning questions and more.

The United Auto Workers union is striking General Motors in the largest work stoppage since the same union struck in 2007. Andy and Sean jump on mic with an emergency pod to discuss the context of this job action, how the left might relate to the recent upsurge in labor militancy, and what labor history tells us about how to organize and win!

In this special crossover of Antifada, Proletkult, History is a Weapon, and Parallax Views we take a dive into the "stay behind operations" after World War II designed to protect Western Europe from leftist victory at any cost--including coups, assassinations, and false flag terror plots. Conspiracy theory? Nope! PARAPOLITICS.
