This episode is a conversation with Ryan Watson, recorded on September 5, 2020.
Ryan is an activist and a member of Socialist Alternative. This is a far-ranging conversation about the work of the Socialist Alternative, the relationship between the economic justice and racial and social justice, the two-party system, America's wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, apathy vs. activism, disaster capitalism, questions of strategy concerning the use of "the s-word" in American politics, and much more.
I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.
