TODAY: Sean of The Antifada podcast and the Independent Labor Club joins us to discuss important current events: Alex and Ani's wedding. Did he like the goats? The eggrolls from our neighbor? Shooting arrows at parade attendees? We get him on the record. ALSO: Going to war with Iran on behalf of Israel--is it good to? We examine the various arguments in favor of the US's missle strike on Iran's nuclear site, such as Charlie Kirk's "Don't worry about it, kitten" and the Libertarian Candidates Meme Army's "I will NOT be a slave to Iran" Will this apologia be enough to maintain support for Trump amid his extremely unpopular and destabilizing foreign policy decisions? Will he go from being good Hitler (genocidal) to bad Hitler (incompetent, deranged, defeated)?

There is a lot of fear among the Jewish community in America following Sunday's attack and the shooting in D.C. in May that left two Israel embassy staff members dead. In both instances, Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., who is Jewish, says the suspects went “hunting” for Jewish people to harm. “I mean, people are afraid because there's not enough security to solve for this problem. And what we've seen is we've seen it tolerated,” Fine said. Today, Fine says, “we have reached a world where ... the left has told us, ‘globalize the Antifada,' [and] their soldiers are listening.” Still, the congressman says he has hope because the policy steps taken in Florida have been effective. “When you show that you're not afraid, when you call evil for what it is, when you don't back down, they back off,” he said. Mohamed Soliman, the lead suspect in attack, used a makeshift flamethrower and incendiary device as he shouted, “Free Palestine,” and attacked the group of people marching in support of freeing the Israeli hostages. Soliman, an Egyptian national who was in the country illegally, is now in custody and has been charged with a federal hate crime. The morning after the attack, Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., both openly Muslim, had yet to issue statements. Fine was critical of the silence from the two Muslim congresswomen following the attack that left eight people injured in Boulder, Colorado. “They're Muslim terrorists,” he said when asked what he made of their lack of a public statement as of Monday morning. “I put it to people this way,” Fine continued, “the people who are sitting, running Hamas in Qatar, they're not blowing anything up, but they support terrorism. If you support Muslim terrorism, you're a Muslim terrorist, and I believe that they both do. You can see it in the silence. I think it is a disgrace that they are Americans, let alone in Congress. And I believe that the way you fight for good is to call out evil.” Tlaib did respond to the attack on Monday afternoon following The Daily Signal's conversation with Fine. "The violent attack in Boulder is horrific,” Tlaib wrote on X. “My heart goes out to all of the victims and their families. Violence has no place in our communities.” Twenty-four hours after the attack, Omar had yet to issue a statement on the incident. Neither Tlaib or Omar answered The Daily Signal's request for comment in response to Fine's claim that the congresswoman are “Muslim terrorists.” Fine sits down with The Daily Signal to discuss.

This week we put on our thinking caps and read some theory with our pals AP Andy from The Antifada and Alex Collyard from comedy. ANDY GITTLITZ @baseprole @The_Antifada https://linktr.ee/gittlitz Alex Collyard @alexcollyard https://linktr.ee/AlexCollyard FULL EP AT PATREON.COM/PODDAMNAMERICA
Well, the year is coming to an end, and let's kick off our year-end fundraising extravaganza! I will be periodically posting some merch and patron links on the screen. I'm going full retard on the PBS ness of it all. As you all know, TIR is entirely listener-funded. We don't take corporate money—yet. But hey, at this point, I am not above accepting some venture capitalist funds. If lizard man Peter Thiel wants to drop some change this way, I WILL TAKE IT! Seriously, though, we're gearing up to celebrate five incredible years of bringing you top-tier shows spiced with the finest dick jokes in podcasting. To finish the year strong, we've lined up an all-star roster of guest hosts. The Green and Red Podcast will be here to dig into the biggest environmental stories of the year. Champagne Sharks is making a triumphant return, and the Antifada crew will also be in the mix. So if you like your podcasts smart, sharp, and a little chaotic, now's the time to help us grow—so big that maybe, just maybe, we too can be part of the Vanguard's podcast drama wars. In actual news, a suspect is now in custody for the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The accused, Luigi Mangione, has become something of an antihero heartthrob online. There are memes, thirst traps, and even some wild right-wing takes—I saw one guy call him “a real-life Batman.” (Spoiler: that guy doesn't know who Batman is.) But, following the Robin Hood-like response across the political spectrum for Mangione there has been a backlash. Following the murder, a Florida woman named Brianna Boston used the same chilling words reportedly etched on the shell casings found at the scene of the crime—“Delay, Deny, Depose.” Boston was arrested for making terrorist threats after her claim was denied while she was on the phone with Blue Cross. Boston was just venting after having a claim denied and posed no threat, but will this be the move of these companies moving forward? One thing this incident has done is reignited public outrage about the deadly inefficiency of the American healthcare system. Michael Moore was inspired to drop *Sicko* on YouTube for free, it feels like we're in a moment worth examining. So let's talk about it. What does Luigi Mangione's viral antihero status say about the state of the public's frustration with corporate healthcare? Is this a sign that Americans are reaching a breaking point with the “profits over people” model? Or is this just another fleeting moment in the outrage cycle, destined to fizzle before it can spark meaningful reform? Meanwhile, local news outlets are amplifying stories about families suffering under Medicaid cuts and unaffordable premiums. But can the spotlight on healthcare—even one as darkly sensational as this—actually push us closer to socialized medicine? And what does it say about the system that it takes extreme events, like the death of a CEO or the arrest of a desperate woman, to bring these issues to the fore? Let's dive in. And don't forget to drop a Super Chat! Help us grow, so one day I can afford the kind of healthcare coverage these CEOs would deny me.

TODAY: We're back with Sean KB from The Antifada to talk about the supposed right wing takeover of labor by... covering their 5-year plan to get every service worker in the country fired. Spearheaded by professional Karens like Libs of Tik Tok, the Right was on a cancelling crusade in the wake of the bungled Trump assassination to fire everyone who thought it was funny. A backlash forces many on the right to double-down on their war against workers, producing interesting responses. PLUS: the finer points of which employees you are allowed to get fired (cops, managers); being a general strike accelerationist by getting everyone fired; and Sean shares a story of a union victory on his job site.

Sean and Varn return with part four of their series on nationalism and the nation state. This episode is about the vexing questions of class and nation that arose in the 20th century and are unresolved today. Why did both the reformist and revolutionary wings of the classical workers movement turn towards state developmentalism? How did really existing class develop to conflict with Marxist theories of working class emancipation? What mistakes from past movements are we still making today whether we know it or not? How did the millennial left really die and how might we move past it?This is part one of an extended, three-hour discussion.

Sean KB from the Antifada joins Jason and Varn for a new series that examines the work of right wing thinkers. This week they are discussing the first chapter of Alexander Dugin's, 'The Fourth Political Theory' to break down and understand why people from all over the political spectrum are influenced by this seminal work of post-fascist thought. **This is a 30m preview of a 2.5 hour long episode**Support the show
We visit Argentina, where the extremely online anarcho-capitalist Bolsonarista and MAGA Chud Javier Milei has just been elected their new president. Will it be a return to the Anti-communist dictatorship of the 70s and 80s, the neoliberal dollarization era of the 90s, or will it turn Argentina into one big AnarchApulco?To find out, Andy interviews members of anarchist-communist collective based in the Biblioteca y Archivo Alberto Ghiraldo from Rosario, Argentina. Recently they put out a new text on the Milei phenomenon called Contra el liberalismo y sus falsos criticos, or Against Liberalism and its False Critics.They are also involved with the journal Cuadernos de Negacion, and the newsletter La Oveja Negra.Talkin' Tina! is the Antifada side project about the politics of America Latina!

This week, I speak with organizer, writer, and podcaster Jamie Peck about the mass action that shut down the construction of Cop City last week. We talk about the ridiculous and extreme police response to this nonviolent direct action and the creative tactics employed by protestors to keep each other safe.We also discuss:-how a Georgia State Police officer endangered protestors and risked starting a fire by throwing a tear gas canister into the forest-why the movement chose to engage in this form of nonviolent mass action-the ridiculous press conference during which the Atlanta Police tried to paint the protestors as v**lent by displaying the gardening tools protestors brought to plant saplingsJamie Peck is one of the speakers who traveled the country on the Weelaunee Worldwide Mass Action Speaking Tour to encourage folks to participate in this action.

Sean and Varn continue the second part of their miniseries on left strategies and orientations. Central to the discussion is the definition and role of what is called 'Rank and File' organizing, something that means many things to many people, but whose bases are often conflated in literature and debate, for example in the DSA. This episode tackles, in turn, the tendencies associated with Joe Burns, Jane MacAlevey, Kim Moody, Marxist-Leninists and syndicalists.Taking a cue from current events, the conversation revolves around the ongoing United Autoworkers strike in the Midwest: what it might mean for the industry, how a victory might galvanize the broader working class, and how a defeat might play out.Become a patron of The Antifada for the extended, two-and-a-half hour audio episode, and/or a patron of VarnVlog to watch the video recording.
We're still on the road, so we thought we'd release our live set from New York last sunday. We start off with a tour of reactionary Seattle media, including ABC special "Seattle is Dying," (an absurdly cruel attack on the homeless) and right-wing talk show host Jason Rantz lashes out at a plan to allow social workers to respond to mental health crises with an incredible cautionary tale. We end our set with The Ballad of Based Dirt, starting at reactionary, trad religious facebook groups and leading all the way to a right-wing outrage-mill blog feeding off the anguished souls of its readers. Thanks to New York for having us, and thanks to Pod Damn America and Antifada and Ani for helping us. We just did Philadelphia last night with Well There's Your Problem and Antifada. Had a blast.

For the full episode: https://www.patreon.com/posts/antifadas-is-15-77698515 In light of the depressing denouement of last year's railroad conflict, Sean and Matt sit down, in person at last, to discuss the deep history behind how American organized labor got so disorganized and why the labor movement hasn't moved in decades. Why was it that, in the United States, workers institutions had trouble evolving past the infancy of narrow, sectoral, decentralized craft unionism towards broad-based, nationally-coordinated industrial unionism? How did capital, in the face of militant organizing, help choose the weaker of the two as their partner to bargain with? In what ways is worker self-organization in this country truly, as our enemies always say, anti-American? And importantly what is to be done now that private sector union density is so low, workers institutions so captured and the national labor relations regime has fallen apart?
