POPULARITY
The Republican Party has become a hegemonic force in US politics today. But how much of their dominance is predicated on Donald Trump's personal rule? On this episode of Confronting Capitalism, Vivek Chibber discusses the historic evolution of the Republicans with Paul Heideman, author of “Trump's Takeover of the Republican Party,” an essay in the upcoming issue of Catalyst. Vivek and Paul focus on the business coalitions behind Trump, how he was able to muster elite support, and how the level of that support is a lot lower than it seems. Confronting Capitalism with Vivek Chibber is produced by Catalyst: A Journal of Theory and Strategy, and published by Jacobin. Music by Zonkey.

Hubert Harrison war einer der ersten schwarzen Sozialisten in den USA. Sein Lebenswerk zeigt, wie sich der Kapitalismus systematisch des Rassismus bedient, um die arbeitende Klasse zu spalten — und wie wir ihn überwinden können. Artikel vom 23.

The rise of socialism in the United States parallels the sprawl of industrial capitalism. The intellectual debates about how Marxism would play out in America became ever more complex when the Socialist Labor Party considered the idea race. Dr. Lorenzo Costaguta joins the show to explain how scientific racism - in its various forms - divided socialist activists and eventually contributed to the decline of the Socialist Labor Party of America.Essential Reading:Lorenzo Costaguta, Workers of All Colors Unite: Race and the Origins of American Socialism (2023).Recommended Reading:Daniel E.

The traditional narrative of the Civil Rights Movement centered on Martin Luther King and the N.A.A.C.P is often repeated to highlight liberal reform to the Jim Crow racial order that gripped America at that time. However, few Americans are aware of how much radical Black labor activists challenging the domination of capitalism were integral demanding solutions rooted in political economy as a means to address the conditions of Blacks in the United States. In this episode we will discuss how the McCarthy Era anti-communist fervor blunted the efforts of Black radicals to achieve solutions rooted in the economic reality of Black life.

RFH co-host Brendan Cooney has written and spoken extensively about “left economic populism,” including the Green New Deal (GND). In this episode, Andrew interviews Brendan about the GND, both as environmental policy and as left-populist politics. The interview includes a discussion of Brendan’s provocative call for “More Green, Less New Deal,” Bernie Sanders’ GND plan, the lack of realism of GND proposals (and why that matters)—and much more. In this episode’s current-events segment, Brendan and Andrew discuss Paul Heideman’s recent Jacobin magazine article on “white working-class” Trump voters, which doesn’t quite promise that a Democratic Party committed to economic populism would win many of these voters back. * ~ * ~ * ~ * Radio Free Humanity is a podcast covering news, politics and philosophy from a Marxist-Humanist perspective.

06: Cops are bad for mental health, Paul Heideman on Class Struggle and the Color Line In this week’s episode we talk to activist and author Paul Heideman about his new book, Class Struggle and the Color Line: American Socialism and the Race Question, 1900-1930. Most histories of the left claim that Communist Party members in the 1930s were the first U.S. socialists to prioritize the fight against racism, but Heideman’s collection of writings from a range of American radicals tells a different story. Paul talks with us about the overlooked contributions to the U.S. and international left made by Black socialists like Claude McKay and Cyrill Briggs, and how events like the Russian Revolution in 1917 and the race riots of 1919 helped set in motion the Black radical movement that didn’t fully flower for another two generations. If after listening to this episode you want to learn more about how the socialist movement approached the “race question”, you can (and should!) check out Class Struggle and the Color Line (http://bit.ly/HeidemanBook). Here are some other resources: A shorter introduction to the topic is John Riddell’s article for the International Socialist Review, “Black Liberation and the Communist International” (http://bit.ly/RiddellBlackLiberation). For more on Karl Marx’s avid interest in the fight against slavery, check out Donnie Schraffenberger’s “Karl Marx and the American Civil War” (http://bit.ly/MarxCivilWar). Danny goes off on one of his tangents, citing Oscar Ameringer’s classic socialist pamphlet “The Life and Deeds of Uncle Sam”, which you can find here (http://bit.ly/LifeDeedsUncleSam) and judge for yourself if it was really worth interrupting Paul. In our introduction, Danny and Eric discuss the contemporary horror of police killings of people in the midst of mental health episodes. The discussion quickly covers a lot of ground. Here are links for some of the cases and statistics we talk about: Shaun King’s article for The Intecept: “Danny Ray Thomas Was a Broken Man Who Needed Help. Instead He Was Gunned Down by a Cop in Broad Daylight.” (http://bit.ly/DannyRayThomas) The New York Daily News story about why New Yorkers are afraid of police showing up if they call 911 for a family member having an episode. (http://bit.ly/911Fears) Many of the statistics Jen cites about deadly interactions between police and people with mental illness come from the Treatment Advocacy Center (http://bit.ly/TreatmentAdvocacy) A talk given by socialist David Whitehouse on “The Origins of the Police” (http://bit.ly/PoliceOrigins) The Atlantic’s story on Cook County Jail being “America’s Largest Mental Hospital” (https://theatln.tc/2qudB6G) Music and audio from this episode: Lizard Eyes – The Boy & Sister Alma (Dead Sea Captains Remix) Jamilia Land, speaking at a rally on March 31 in Sacramento Swim Good – Frank Ocean Joe Hill and Let My People Go - Paul Robeson “If We Must Die” read by Claude McKay Keeanga-Yamahtta speaking on “The Fight Against the New Jim Crow” at the 2012 Socialism conference
At long last, I am posting a 2-hour interview with the GODFATHER, Adolph Reed. The original audio was corrupted and it took a lot of work to string together. But I've managed to get it into a form that you should be able to follow. We talk about a whole host of issues, but it's really a MASTER CLASS in Adolph's thought, and I'm really glad that I can offer it as a token of my appreciation. Topics include: -Organizing in the 1960's -Black Power -Adolph's critique of brokerage politics and representationalism -Adolph's hot take on Black Lives Matter -His beef with Paul Heideman and Jonah Birch (Their article can be found here: https://www.jacobinmag.com/2016/10/adolph-reed-blm-racism-capitalism-labor -- Adolph's brilliant response is here: http://nonsite.org/editorial/splendors-and-miseries-of-the-antiracist-left-2) -And, lastly, Adolph's favorite dirty joke that he weaves perfectly into a great political argument. ----------------------- Subscribe for the full episode at: www.patreon.com/deadpundits Twitter: @deadpundits Facebook: www.facebook.com/deadpundits
