Weeks When Podcasts HappenEp. 21 Critical Race Theory pt.2: Elbow Room and other lies of the US EmpireIan is joined by returning guest Yexenia and a new comrade Gavin- both teachers in the Detroit Public schools and members of MI CORE radical teacher's caucus. In a followup to our discussion of Critical Race Theory, we discuss the way history is taught in public schools in the US. We look at some of the common myths and themes (some may even say lies) that pervade the way US history is traditionally covered, and why these misconceptions are damaging more broadly. Reality has a well known communist bias, we just want to teach the facts.

Greg and Ian are joined by a new guest Carlos to discuss the dynamics and context of the #SOSCuba movement. We discuss the historical context of US intervention, terrorism, and strangulation of the revolution, and what the Cuban revolution has meant for the Island and the world. We also come up with our new favorite analogy: Detroit is the Cuba of the midwest- targeted for destruction for daring to stand up to the US and the Rich.It's a complex subject but remember, if you find yourself on the same side as the CIA, you...

Should we teach it, should we not, does any public figure actually know what it means? It turns out both parties lie continuously about history, and being a marxist is good actually.

Ian and Greg are joined by past guest Sariah, and new folks Jazz and Sharif. everyone but Ian thinks these are decent movies, Ian thinks that the Republic is an illegitimate oligarchic institution built on human supremacy and an exploitative economic system that operates as little more than a "soft" version of the empire. We only mention Joe Biden 2 times.

2021-01-1253 minWeeks When Podcasts HappenEp. 11 Covid Stimulus Fight: Trump dares the Democrats to help peopleEverything was going according to plan, no one was going to get what they wanted (other than rich people) and the Democrats and Republicans could each go back to their constituencies blaming the other for not helping them. But no one counted on Trump being angry enough to blow up the process and point out that $600 is actually a pretty insulting amount of money to offer people after 9 months of a pandemic. Will the democrats call his bluff and actually help working people? The tension is literally killing us. It's the usual group talking talking about the usual...

2020-11-061h 40Weeks When Podcasts HappenEp. 8 Final Debate Recap: we desperately avoid talking about the debate.Marshele, Greg, and Ian attempt to do a debate recap for the final presidential debate, but spiral off into more interesting conversations about black voter motivations, the historic failure that is the democratic party, and the end of empire.

They certainly yelled less than the last debate- but at the end of the day we were left wondering how a nation can heal when it's leaders are so divided, and why we're asking empty rhetorical questions from 8th graders at the end of nationally televised debates?
