This week on the Epoch, ComradeGupGup joins us again to discuss a multitude of topics as they relate to the Left today including; the recent labelling of leftist as terrorists by the Biden administration, Huey P. Newton and the concept of revolutionary suicide, the rift between Marxist-Leninists and Trotskyists, the need for a working class party, America's prison population and systemic racist policies, the inadequacy of reform, appealing to self interest, and climate change. Hopefully, you find the conversation as stimulating as we did. Thank you, and enjoy.
