We're Back!

We're Back!

We were really surprised after checking the metrics recently to see that people from all over the world have been listening to our podcast over the last year, and so we decided to give it another go.

This episode is a little bit of housekeeping, where we talk about what we were up to during our hiatus, and what our plans are now that we're back, and we talk about other stuff too, like the slow disintegration of society, and community building despite that.

Netflix's Social Dilemma & Green New Deal Summit Reportback

Netflix's Social Dilemma & Green New Deal Summit Reportback

We review the new Netflix release "The Social Dilemma" and share our thoughts about what they got right, what they got wrong, what they overstated, and what they ignored.

Then we check in with Asher about the national Green New Deal summit that the DSA held this past weekend.

After that, we slowly devolve into madness.  We will be back next week with Chapter 1 of "Fighting Fascism" by Clara Zetkin.

We start out our recording sessions by checking in and asking how one another are doing, and then usually cut that part and focus on discussing the book we are reading.

But this week, there's a lot of stuff going on, and our check in took a lot of unexpected turns, and it ended up generating a lot of really good conversation that we both felt really good about being able to have, and we hope that it resonates with you as well.
We will come back next week with Chapter 4 of the Phil Gasper annotated edition of the Communist Manifesto, as well as the Appendix, "Is the Communist Manifesto Still Relevant?"
