He's written a few books, including "The Class Matrix." Recently, a lot of the most unhinged people on Left Twitter got very mad at him for a "Confronting Capitalism" episode he did trying to analyze the historical origins, material dynamics, and counterproductive consequences for the Left of the phenomenon generally referred to by the imperfect name of "wokeness." He joins Ben Burgis to discuss the controversy, and how socialists can be more effective. Before that, Ben...2025-02-181h 55

The Equity GapProgressive until Palestine - The silence of equity practitioners in an urgent time. A conversation with Chris Hooten, Speaker, Strategist, Writer and EducatorI first came across Chris Hooten on LinkedIn about a month ago when I had so many thoughts swirling in my head around the silence of so many equity and inclusion professionals in my circles of influence with the ongoing genocide in Gaza. A deliberate choice to uphold a sense of comfort in a job that requires you to be truth tellers and deeply uncomfortable to uphold a sense of integrity. Chris’s perspective that they were openly and unapologetically sharing online felt like the truth that so desperately needed to be said, and so I invited them to jo...2023-12-271h 13

The Chris Hedges Report PodcastThe Chris Hedges Report with Professor Norman Finkelstein on Israel's genocidal campaign in Gaza, the world's largest concentration camp.On October 7 Hamas fighters broke through the security barrier separating Gaza from Israel. They attacked army outposts, villages, an outdoor concert venue and Kibutzim. Some 1,300 Israelis, many of them civilians, were killed. Some 150 Israelis, in cluding women, children and the elderly, were taken as hostages and transported back to Gaza. Israel says 1,500 Hamas militants, most young men who most likely had never been out Gaza, were killed. Israel has ordered some 1.1 million Palestinians in northern Gaza to evacuate. The north includes Gaza City, the most densely populated part of the strip, with 750,000 residents. It also includes Gaza’s ma...2023-10-1952 min
The Chris Hedges Report PodcastThe Chris Hedges Report Podcast with Professor Norman Finkelstein on how woke culture and identity politics are used to perpetuate the class warfare waged by corporations and ruling oligarchs.There are few intellectuals who have been as attacked, censored and blacklisted as long and as ruthlessly as the Middle Eastern scholar Norman Finkelstein. He has been hounded out of universities, denied speaking engagements, had his books and scholarship either ignored or dismissed. It is surprising, perhaps, that Professor Finkelstein’s latest book is a savage attack on identity politics. He likens the current woke culture of the left to red baiting when his heroes Paul Robeson, Pete Seager, Rosa Luxemburg, Paul Sweezy and Annette Rubinstein were marginalized and in the case Luxemburg assassinated. “The cancel culture of m...2023-08-3135 min

Frivolous Gravitas PodcastSpecial: Christmas 2021In keeping with the season we thought it would be fun to give something to you our viewers. We can't give you much as a channel, so we decided that we could maybe share some of the books, movies, and music that we enjoy. We hope you find something here that you may not have thought of or encountered yet.
