UpstreamThe Logical Case for Socialism (and Against Capitalism) w/ Scott SehonFacts don't care about your feelings. Logic isn't fair. Reason isn't concerned with your emotions. These oft-regurgitated cliches hurled at the left by those on the right might sound familiar to you. Hey, maybe they've even been directed at you personally. And, aside from seeing these claims from the right as simply funny, they're also quite ironic. Because, when you actually dig down into the arguments of both the left and the right, it becomes quite clear, quite quickly, that the facts are actually on our side. That when you use logic and reason to argue for either capitalism...

UpstreamBlack Scare / Red Scare with Charisse Burden-StellyThe Red Scare — perhaps most well known through the era of McCarthyism that dominated the social, political, and legal spheres of the U.S. in the 1950s — is actually much more than just a brief window of time where communists in the United States were vilified, criminalized, and blacklisted. The Red Scare is actually much more pervasive and longstanding, originating decades before McCarthyism and stretching well into the present. And, when combined with the Black Scare — the fear and hatred of Black people in the United States — it really forms an entire mode of governance that has shaped the characte...

'Communism Made Me Do It' is a tongue-in-cheek way of how the US blames radicalism for radicalism, instead of the US capitalist-led conditions that produce it. Since the Bolshevik Revolution, Communism, more than any other political ideology, is the boogeyman that allows radicalisms of different kinds, both anticapitalist and not, to be targeted by the US capitalist racist society.

V prvých desaťročiach dvadsiateho storočia boli černošské ženy vedúcimi organizátorkami Komunistickej strany Spojených štátov. Rozvíjali masové kampane proti južanskému lynču, kapitalistickému vykorisťovaniu, fašizmu a americkému imperializmu. Vytvorili výnimočnú a inovatívnu teóriu trojitého útlaku černošských žien.

We took a break from movies this week to discuss Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson, published in August 2020 by Random House.

The book’s reception has been overwhelmingly positive since its release. It was a #1 New York Times bestseller, has won or been nominated for numerous awards, has sold over half a million copies by year’s end, and Netflix has plans to produce an adaptation directed by Ava DuVernay.
