I remember when Generation Woke decided to take Thanksgiving. The narrative fit right into the oppressed/oppressor mindset. America was a rotten, fetid empire of colonizers who marauded through the pristine countryside and then forced the Native Americans to eat with them for Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was now “problematic.” Celebrating it, even more so. High-status influencers who made a great living off of our Capitalist system pronounced their objections to this once-great American holiday, to take a brave stand against it, because, especially in 2020, every white person was expected to atone for their sins of the past and their white privilege now. “We're not celebrating Thanksgiving,” so went the lengthy, agonizing, virtue-signaling posts on Instagram. Maybe they'd be out feeding the poor, though still celebrating Thanksgiving, just not for themselves. Charity could wipe clean the shame.Once Trump was pushed out and Biden put in power, the waters calmed, the screaming stopped, and Thanksgiving was no longer a curse upon all of us.Now, here we are, Trump is in power again, and Thanksgiving has now become yet another crisis that must not go to waste. We are to enter the holidays thinking of the president committing illegal acts and whether or not members of the military will take a stand against him and start a hot Civil War. Thanksgiving must be a reminder of the Nazi occupation that is starving the poor, especially the Black and Brown people, who are being hunted down and thrown into concentration camps. The order has come down that all must be miserable. Four long years to make Americans suffer for the crime of the Democrats losing an election to Trump again.Says Senator Patty Murray. How dare we speak Happy Thanksgiving! How dare we speak Merry Christmas! With all due respect to those trapped inside the Doomsday Cult, no. Just no. This is one day you can't take from us. You can't shame us out of it. You can't tell us not to gather with our loved ones around a table and enjoy a meal. Thanksgiving is not yours to take. It never was. You can be miserable if you'd like, but those of us who are grateful just to wake up another day, let alone to cook a meal or get invited to a meal, are grateful for the bounty. Grateful for life at all. Grateful for each other. And, for many, grateful to God. Yes, we dare speak Happy Thanksgiving. Fond MemoriesI always thought Thanksgiving was the great unifier. It wasn't like Christmas, where only some people celebrated. It was an everybody thing. That was how we saw it and how we were taught to understand it. Thanksgiving for most of my life was held at my grandmother's house in the San Fernando Valley. With her tattered framed letter from Bill Clinton hanging on the wall, her ceramic Siamese cats frozen in place on her glass coffee table, the plastic lining that covered her good sofa, the piano in the corner nobody played, her gold-plated flatware, the good dishes, and the nice tablecloth, freshly laundered and ironed, her Thanksgiving was one of my fondest memories. She spent all day cooking the turkey, and when it was finally done, it would be presented as the greatest thing any of us had ever seen. And so it was. I'm not saying it was straight out of Norman Rockwell or anything. It was pure chaos most of the time, and often a powder keg, but somehow on that day, we all knew how to behave.My grandma's turkey was one thing. Her pies were legendary. She would put too much cinnamon in the pumpkin pie, but that's what made it good. It was the warm house on a cold winter day, even in California, that I remember most, and the way we could smell the food cooking even outdoors. We did not eat all day, preparing to fill our bellies until we could not breathe.We were poor in the early days, and on welfare, so Thanksgiving at my grandma's house was one way we felt normal, doing what every other family did. Even those at rock bottom need a day to say thank you and give grace, no matter their circumstances in life. That's what it's for. It elevates us out of our misery, or at least it can. We didn't say thanks or grace back then because in my family, that could spell trouble. It was all about the meal, about my grandma's infamous cooking, and all of us seated together in a cramped suburban home, talking to each other, spending time together, time we'd never get back.Over the years, Thanksgiving moved from house to house. When my grandmother was too old to host, she'd offer to bring up the Turkey to my brother's house in Ojai, California. Once, we waited three hours for her to arrive with the Turkey, now cold, sitting in her trunk. Once, she accidentally used salt instead of sugar when baking her apple pie. Before long, she couldn't make the drive, and Thanksgiving, for her, was over. I still can't think of it without thinking of her. I think of her every time I roll out homemade pie crust, using the glass of ice water she taught me to use, or the way she taught me to cut the green apples, throwing away the peels and dropping the flesh into a bowl of lemon water to keep it from browning.I think of her whenever I see a turkey coming out of the oven, and I remember how she liked her stuffing inside the bird rather than the modern way of cooking it separately in a casserole. I think of how much she loved America and its traditions and how faithful she was to all of them. My grandmother taught us what it meant to be grateful for all we had, even if it wasn't much. Thanksgiving isn't about the cost. It can be celebrated on a paper plate in a food kitchen or in the park, just as easily as it can be in my grandmother's dining room or at a restaurant. It's the idea of it, one of the few rituals we have left that we can share, at least among those of us still holding onto the fragile idea of an America at all. On their live version of America This Week, Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi reported on how so many high-minded outlets see it as their duty to treat Thanksgiving like a funeral for America, but here is what Thanksgiving is really about. I guess that's why I drive six days across the country every year to see my daughter on Thanksgiving. It turns out that it means a lot to me, too, and I always want to make sure I don't miss even one. I have cooked more than my share of Thanksgiving dinners, and I hope I've created memories for my daughter. Maybe someday I'll be the grandmother to her children, and the ritual will begin anew. It isn't just a day to cook or eat but a day to say thank you for the blessings in my life, for the luck I've had, for the love I've experienced, for the beauty I can still see in this country and its people, from state to state. If we can do this on this one day, maybe we will be okay.That is why I'd like to thank all of you. It's been a hell of a ride these past five years. Thank you for the warmth and kindness you've given me, the support, the praise, the criticism, the subscriptions, the donations, and the encouragement. I don't know where I'd be without you. I hope you have a Happy, yes Happy Thanksgiving. All the best to you.//_______________ TIP JAR This is a public episode.

In this episode, Oden talks to rank-and-file union member and college professor Jason Koslowski about Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson's book Abundance, and the roadmap it puts forward for the crisis-ridden Democratic Party. They discuss the problems with the authors' policy prescriptions, and the broader capitalist and imperialist crises motivating the book. Abundance is already everywhere — it's just abundance for the bourgeoisie, at the expense of workers and the oppressed. Capitalist abundance, as advocated by Klein and Thompson, hinges on even more exploitation and immiseration for the working class, as well as greater ecological devastation. However, the crises the book is trying to address holds an opening for the working class. We make society and the economy run, and we can fight to create a truly abundant world under socialism — one without private property, exploitation, oppression, borders, and ecological devastation. But this requires independent organization, without the Democratic Party and its capitalist abundance agenda. Learn More:- The Reactionary Patchwork of Abundance- Left Voice Magazine: "The Mamdani Moment and the Fight Against the Far Right"Support Left Voice on Patreon  Follow us on social media!

Are higher taxes really inevitable — or just a political choice? Former Chancellor Jeremy Hunt joins Marc Sidwell on The Capitalist to share a rare insider's view of what it's like to build a Budget under pressure. From last-minute policy decisions to the fine balance between fiscal responsibility and economic growth, Hunt explains why Britain's current course risks stifling productivity and shrinking the private sector.In a candid conversation, Hunt argues that welfare reform — not ever-higher taxes — is the real key to restoring growth. With insight from his time at the Treasury and the Department of Health, he lays out a vision for an economy that rewards work, innovation, and enterprise rather than punishing them.Stay informed with CapX's unmissable daily briefings from the heart of Westminster.

Another week of last minute schedule changes, flight delays, lost iPads, misplaced laptops, and other mishaps delayed the recording of this week's episode, but finally on Saturday night we were able to sit down for an especially fast-paced episode to close out the week that comes with competing Star Trek metaphors, reflectioning and debating briefly about which was the weirdest news story of the week—the latest Epstein file revelations, MTG departing the House, the Mamdani-Trump Oval Office Summit—the greatest clash since Yalta, or the most bizarre meeting of Capitalist and Communist since Franklin Roosevelt dined alone—before we finally settle down to out main topic of the week: the launch of what will be a regular feature here on the 3WHH between now and the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence next July 4.For this first installment, we ponder the strange case of historian Gordon Wood, considered the pre-eminent historian of the American Founding, who was in the news last week for a speech he delivered in Washington DC for the American Enterprise Institute. Steve was present to hear the speech; John took in the published version, and Lucretia let out a mighty harumph. Wood's main thesis at the beginning of his illustrious career was that the American Founding should be understood as part of the "civic republican" tradition, rather than a Lockean-Jeffersonian natural rights revolution. It made him the left's favorite historian for a time, a point Steve made in a critical article about Wood 20 years ago, "The Liberal Republicanism of Gordon Wood." Naturally—do I really need to say "naturally"? you know what's coming next—John stepped up to defend Wood's civic republican thesis. Lucretia thought she could sit this one out, but ChatGPT provided us with a debate between Lucretia and Wood, with "Wood" getting off some good zingers like "Lucretia, the Founding wasn't a live-action performance of Natural Right: The Musical,"  and "Of course they were serious—serious about the collapse of deference, the emergence of democratic culture, and all the other things that give Straussians spontaneous nosebleeds." Lucretia responded in kind: "You make it sound like Samuel Adams was out there organizing consciousness-raising workshops. “Hi, I'm Sam, and I'm here to talk about my feelings on monarchy…”The episode is slightly shorter than normal as Steve had to rush off to the final performance of Steve Hackett's North American tour in Portland, Oregon, and the final performance of keyboardist Roger King, and because the philistine and cretinous Lucretia and John attempted to mock the gods of prog rock, the exit music this week is an excerpt from Hackett's most famous guitar lick. IYKYK.

On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, Christopher yielded his host chair as he joined Tom Schwab in The Podcast Interview Marketing Show to discuss the rise of the Creator Capitalist. Through their dialogue, Christopher Lochhead and Tom Schwab explored why the foundational model of “knowledge work” is swiftly becoming obsolete in the age of artificial intelligence. More importantly, they charted a path forward for professionals and entrepreneurs seeking to not just survive but thrive by transitioning from knowledge workers to what Lochhead calls “creator capitalists.” This episode unpacked how AI is upending the value of existing knowledge, why declaring and differentiating your value matters more than ever, and how podcasts exemplify and enable the new rules for standing out in a commoditized world. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   AI and the Death of the Knowledge Worker A core theme throughout the conversation is Lochhead's assertion that the traditional knowledge worker is now on an “already dead” trajectory. Echoing Peter Drucker's concept from seventy years ago, Lochhead dissected the evolution of knowledge work: those who acquire valuable knowledge and are paid to apply it to achieve outcomes. For decades, professions like law, medicine, and accounting thrived on this value proposition. But as Lochhead put it, “AI makes the value of existing knowledge closer to zero every day, and it makes the ability to apply existing knowledge easier, cheaper, and closer to zero.” As machine learning and generative AI like ChatGPT and Claude can instantly synthesize and apply troves of information, merely applying knowledge is no longer a competitive edge. In Lochhead's words, “If you rely solely on applying existing knowledge to get paid, you're already behind the curve.” The world's next wave of success stories won't be those who can recite best practices or historical information; instead, it'll be pioneers who create entirely new categories, products, and perspectives.   Declaring and Defending Your Value in a Commoditized Marketplace This paradigm shift has profound implications for how expertise and content are valued. Schwab and Lochhead explore the necessity, not just of creating new value, but of unmistakably declaring it to the market. Lochhead's release of his book “Lightning Strike Marketing”—priced defiantly at $100—became a case in point. The rationale wasn't greed, but a strategic effort to defend the book's value and signal that it's not merely recycled or commoditized information. Lochhead observed, “Unless you declare you are valuable, you will be devalued by AI.” The traditional model, where business books have hovered at the $25 mark for decades, fails to align pricing with the value delivered and only invites further commoditization. By staking out a bold price point, the book became a "lightning strike" in its own right. The move generated word of mouth, forced a choice for buyers, and ultimately achieved bestseller status on Amazon for global marketing books. At the heart, the message is clear: creators who want to lead must not only generate differentiated intellectual property but stand firm against the eroding forces of commoditization. “Better invites a comparison; different forces a choice,” Lochhead added, marking the essential blueprint for becoming a category of one.   Podcasts and Category Design: The New Playground for Net New Value A recurring motif, interwoven through both Christopher Lochhead's and Tom Schwab's journeys, is the unique power of podcasts as both a proving ground for new ideas and a channel for building “relationship and reputation capital.” In contrast to AI-generated summaries or formulaic blog posts, podcasts uniquely foster authentic, serendipitous dialogue between real human beings.

How does Britain's most famous broadcaster recover from a crisis that's reached the very top? In the space of a week, the BBC has lost two of its most senior executives and now faces an extraordinary legal threat from the President of the United States. What began as an editing error in a Panorama documentary has spiralled into a full-blown test of the corporation's credibility — and its future.In this episode of The Capitalist, Marc Sidwell is joined by veteran journalist Robin Lustig, former BBC World Service and Radio 4 presenter, to explore what this storm reveals about the state of public service broadcasting, political polarisation, and the shifting media landscape. Together, they ask whether the BBC can still command trust in a divided Britain — and what must change to restore its authority.Stay informed with CapX's unmissable daily briefings from the heart of Westminster.

Dear, surviving, audient: how is it hanging?WeI sympathize.If you were looking to art as an answer, hoping for some revolutionary frameworks, or just plain ol' solace inside --            -- I'm afraid most of the pod's going to tell you to keep looking.In this one we watched 2 "political" movies released this year: Ari Aster's Eddington and Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another.More generally, the 2 movies raised the question of what it means to involve politics in a movie. Jake took this as an excuse to geek out on Grad school vibes and do a deep dive into Walter Benjamin's attempts to save aesthetics from the khaki schmattes of Communism.Who said Marx Grudge?Benjamin does brandish an interesting, rather Derridian, analytic tool in the distinction between allegory and the symbol; which I will anger Jake and summarize here as analogous (allegorical?!) to a movie whose special effects are shot on set with actual props, and the one where the effects are all programmed in (as CGI). Like shooting props, the allegory foregrounds its technicity, while the symbol will claim the harmony of form-function and content. Except the symbol doesn't work anymore. Like the pathetic attempt poor Andy had to suffer through, where the reinvented "Superman" is called-upon to white-wash the Gaza genocide (still a western debacle). The symbol rang so hollow it gave Andy bowel issues. (Editor's note:) We will NOT be getting into that.Of course, the allegory's very apparatus makes it susceptible to Capitalist manipulations. This is where we take a more specific tack on Anderson's film: shot and directed, deliberately, in my opinion, as a post-fascist account of how pathetic and hopeless revolutions are, how revolutionaries are either posers or self-deceiving cucks.And here is Anderson's genius, in recognizing the capitalist tentacles have already infiltrated all discourse -- which is a panicked, exhausted discourse these days (on "the left") -- "over-technicizing" allegory into social media reels and internet memes. His account gives the melancholia of a post-fascist winner looking back at history: disjointed, often accompanied by a (never happy or energetic or really calm) soundtrack, the characters are mostly isolated with superficial thoughts and relationships... it is the sad sigh of a fulfilled Sklavenmoral.There was more tossed around, of course. Fair warning.STARS: Marx Grudge (grudgingly); Beast & Sovereign... but really, all the Stars were there: the Il vaut mieux with differance; the Pervs R' Us with melancholy, the WWJD with 'Manifest Destiny'...P.S. We have an official email address (5startossers@gmail.com), for you, dear audient, to vent; a kind of a complaint/feedback box. We will collect the complaints (/corrections/disputes) to an episode where we address your mirror of our stupidities. 5ST

The Bible has much to say about money and economics. Which side would Jesus come down on in today's political climate: Would He been a socialist as is often claimed? Can you imagine Him as a capitalist?

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageNew York just elected a 34-year-old democratic socialist as mayor, and the city's political ground shifted underfoot. We unpack the upset—how small donors, social media savvy, and an affordability-first platform overcame long odds—and then stress test each promise against law, budgets, and history. From four-year rent freezes and free buses to universal childcare and a path to a $30 minimum wage, we ask the hard question: which ideas can survive America's legal constraints, market pressures, and political realities?We trace the century-old arc of socialist governance in America, from Milwaukee's well-run public housing and clean streets to Schenectady's fare cuts—and the recurring forces that blunted those movements: fusion-party pushback, capital flight, constitutional guardrails, policy poaching by major parties, and national headwinds. Along the way, we highlight how capitalism repeatedly course-corrected without revolution—trustbusting monopolies, creating deposit insurance after bank panics, and building safety nets that lowered elderly poverty—absorbing reforms while keeping markets dynamic.Then we bring it back to Gotham. Expect legal battles over rent and sanctuary measures, fiscal tests for big-ticket programs, and business responses ranging from adaptation to exit. Some proposals may be piloted, trimmed, or retooled; others could become durable parts of city life if they measurably improve affordability and mobility. The wager here is not ideology, but durability: can bold promises translate into workable policy without cracking the city's economic engine? Listen for a clear-eyed roadmap of risks, trade-offs, and the likely areas where New York may bend, adjust, and, ultimately, decide what sticks.Key Points from the Episode:• Who Zoran Mandani is and why he won• The affordability agenda and funding claims• Reactions from national figures and business leaders• Historical record of socialist mayors 1900–1960• The five forces that limited socialist experiments• Capitalism's pattern of correction and absorption• Legal, fiscal, and market tests facing New York• What policies might endure and what may fadeOther resources: Want to leave a review?

New @greenpillnet pod out today! Kevin talks with Akseli Virtanen, co-founder of the Economic Space Agency (ECSA), along with co-authors Dick Bryan and Jorge Lopez, about their groundbreaking book Protocols for Post-Capitalist Expression. They explore how capital is itself a protocol, how post-capitalism can emerge through new economic grammars, and why distributed finance and programmable accounting could redefine value beyond markets and the state. If you've ever wondered how economics, coordination, and code might come together to create new forms of collective value, this episode is for you.

Welcome to the new Despatch — your Monday briefing for a sharper, more optimistic week. London's super-prime property market has long been the world's barometer of confidence. When Britain welcomes success, investment flows freely; when it punishes ambition, the money quietly leaves. Now, even before the Chancellor unveils his Budget, the warning lights are flashing. Economist Damian Pudner explains why London's property slowdown is a symptom of fading confidence — and sets out practical steps to bring capital, and optimism, back.Despatch comes from the team behind The Capitalist.

In Episode 227, Dave starts by riffing about his fears regarding the current spot prices of gold and silver by talking through an article from The Capitalist substack. From there, he reads some headlines from his email before detouring into a discussion on the shutdown, Hamas, and Putin. After all of that national and geopolitical news, Dave turns his attention to Gavin Newsom and his Glock ban. Dave then discusses a couple topics starting with the planned ‘No Kings Day' protests and the 175k applicants for ICE. After that, Dave celebrates some MAHA news but is leery of the fiber increase given the tainted grain in this country. He closes the show with some more proven conspiracy theories with weather modification.  Article Links: Trump warns Hamas if terror group 'continues to kill people in Gaza' by Alexandra Koch from Fox News Trump, Putin plan Hungary meeting on Ukraine war, Zelenskyy to visit White House Friday by Caitlin McFall from Fox News Gov.

Can a British regulator really fine an overseas website under the banner of the Online Safety Act? In today's edition of The Capitalist, host Marc Sidwell is joined by free speech lawyer Preston Byrne and journalist Harry Phibbs to discuss Ofcom's £20,000 penalty against 4chan — and what it means for free expression in the digital age.The conversation then turns to calls for a one-off wealth raid to patch Britain's public finances, and to Marc's own argument that Margaret Thatcher's unfinished revolution still offers Britain a blueprint for national renewal.From digital censorship to tax grabs and the battle for Britain's economic soul, this is a sharp, timely look at what freedom really means in 2025.Stay informed with CapX's unmissable daily briefings from the heart of Westminster.

In this week's episode of Park Bench Ontology, we dive headfirst into capitalist realism—the idea that capitalism is the only system that feels “real” and inevitable—and what it means when our identities, style, and culture are co-opted by the market. I share my own bizarre experience buying an Old Navy Malcolm X shirt, and why it made me rethink how we consume revolutionary imagery while participating in the very system it critiqued.We talk symbolic violence, brand culture, and the absurdity of resistance in a consumerist world—and I unpack how capitalism doesn't just sell products, it sells identity.

On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, in an unfiltered and deeply human conversation with Christopher Lochhead and Eddie Yoon on their Creator Capitalist Conversation, Monroe Jones traces his journey from the experimental studios of Alabama and Nashville to working alongside icons like U2, Stevie Nicks, and David Crosby. Through stories of uncertainty, obsession, and unlikely breakthroughs, Monroe offers a blueprint for building a life and career powered by authentic passion and “slow dopamine.” If you've ever wondered what it takes to create a meaningful, enduring legacy in the music business, or any creative field, legendary Grammy-winning producer Monroe Jones offers a masterclass in the transformative power of obsession, generosity, and self-forgetfulness. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   The Art of Serendipity: Building a Life Through Obsession and Generosity From the earliest moments of the conversation, it's clear Monroe Jones' career wasn't pursued with a perfect plan, but rather, navigated by an intense pull, what he calls “the disease” of creativity. Growing up in the South, Monroe was steeped in family, tradition, and, crucially, music; a world that intersected unexpectedly with architecture, marketing, and the showmanship of the British pop invasion. By his teens, Monroe was constructing makeshift studios, experimenting with reel-to-reel tape machines, and hustling his way through the yellow pages of Nashville's Music Row. Resourcefulness was his secret weapon. For nearly a decade before his breakthrough, Monroe lived on a writer's stipend, stacking thousands of “unseen reps” in the studio, all the while feeling compelled to create, regardless of circumstance. But perhaps what truly sets Monroe apart is not just the hustle or even the technical prowess, but his commitment to generosity and openness within creative communities. He recounts transformative moments: in dimly lit control rooms at A&M Studios or impromptu sessions with future legends, where serendipity and relationships created leaps of opportunity. “A lot of it is in a Forrest Gump sort of way,” Monroe laughs, describing chance encounters with the likes of Bono and Jimmy Iovine. Yet these “lucky breaks” were only possible because Monroe had prepared meticulously for a decade, learned every piece of new technology, and was always willing to show up for others, both as a collaborator and behind the scenes. “Creativity is freedom for me,” he declares. “If I can make something, boy oh boy. That's it.”   Design, Songwriting, and the Architecture of Lasting Craft One of the most insightful threads running through the conversation is Monroe's unique perspective on the parallels between songwriting, architecture, and marketing. He attributes much of his creative worldview to both his father, a celebrated architect, and a college professor who urged him to pursue his true passion. The insight? Structure underpins all acts of creation, whether building a cathedral or crafting a pop anthem. Monroe sees songs as buildings, each with their own rooms (verses, choruses, bridges) and design principles, a blend of logic, beauty, and flow. This architect's eye carries over to his work with artists at every stage, from the earliest demos to Grammy-caliber productions. Monroe's obsession with “stacking reps”, hours spent learning, iterating, and failing, is the invisible scaffolding behind creative legends. He reflects on years in the studio as both exhilarating and grueling, emphasizing that the foundational investments of time and curiosity yield not just technical mastery, but an enduring inner capital of confidence, relationships, and creative assets.   Slow Dopamine: The Bliss of Self-Forgetfulness and the True Creative Edge Perhaps the richest takeaway from Monroe's journey is hi...

A few months ago, John Abrams—author of From Founder to Future—joined us to talk about succession strategies and the different ways business owners can share ownership with employees. For his own business, John chose one of the more radical options: he turned his construction firm into a worker cooperative. Perhaps surprisingly, the more he described the co-op model, the more intrigued Jay Goltz became—although, predictably, Jay did retain a degree of skepticism. So we asked John to come back on the podcast to help Jay dig a little deeper: Are co-ops really all about democracy? Does someone on the loading dock get the same vote as the CEO? How do profits get split in the co-op model? How do losses get absorbed? How are loans secured without burdening frontline workers with personal guarantees? And perhaps most important: What can go wrong? In the end, I think surprising even himself, Jay failed to identify any real dealbreakers.Show Notes:Get a free trial of the Morning Report.Learn more about the Cooperative Fund of the Northeast.This is the podcast episode where Jay Goltz talks about how to do a We-SOP.
