THE OUTBREAK OF CIVIL WAR Colleague Jonathan Healey. By late 1641, Parliament forces reforms, executing Strafford and imprisoning Laud. The King attempts to arrest five parliamentary members in the House of Commons but fails, leading to massive street protests that force him to flee London. Charles travels the country gathering support while Parliamentarians argue that the safety of the people supersedes the King's authority. Both sides utilize print media to rally troops, with Royalists claiming divine right and Parliamentarians asserting popular sovereignty. This period marks the irrevocable transition from political dispute to open military conflict. NUMBER 4LONDON FOR THE TUDORS

2 Kings 23 records King Josiah's sweeping reforms after the rediscovery of the Book of the Law. Josiah renews the covenant before the Lord and aggressively purges Judah of idolatry, destroying pagan altars, removing false priests, defiling high places, and eradicating worship of Baal, Asherah, and other foreign gods—even extending reforms into former northern territories like Bethel. He also restores the Passover, celebrating it more faithfully than at any time since the judges. Despite Josiah's unmatched devotion and obedience, the chapter ends soberly: God's judgment on Judah is not revoked because of long-standing sins under earlier kings. Josiah later dies in battle against Pharaoh Necho, and the nation moves closer to exile—highlighting that reform delayed judgment but could not erase generations of rebellion.

Episode 368 of RevolutionZ has as its guest Bhaskar Sunkara of Jacobin and more recently The Nation and author of The Socialist Manifesto. Our topic isn't a kinder capitalism; it's a post capitalist vision and practice where private ownership is overcome and control of production resides with the people who do the work.Together we discuss seeking a higher minimum wages and seeking higher wages more generally, full employment, greater workers say in the workplace and community, municipal support for co-ops and more. We urge that what we seek, how we seek it, and even what issues we raise while engaged in the pursuits, should deliver concrete gains in the present and also rewire expectations about who should decide and who should benefit in the future.Sunkara discusses electoral campaigns and candidates, but more so the system in which elections occur. He challenges the limits of welfarism and highlights the power question: who owns, who governs, who invests. Together we also broach the hard problem of the division of labor and derivative class divisions. Sunkara says that specialization won't disappear. We can't and won't all do everything. But what we do and how we do it must be democratized so that expertise serves everyone instead of hardening into a class that serves mainly itself over workers. We also explore differences and agreements about when to challenge what issues and about what structures are needed to attain our goals versus what structures will continually obstruct our goals. How can and should the choices of a socialist in a workplace or on a campus, for example, and really anywhere, differ from the choices of a progressive working in the same settings? Issues. Demands. Formulations.Regarding the electoral arena we consider why some workers back Trump and why even center-left parties feel distant. We agree the answer isn't to scold; it's to organize. It is to show up where people live, to honor local experiences and concerns, and to build organizations that feel like home not like elite seminars. Sunkara explores how an independent profile—more Sanders than party brand—and now more Mamdani than party brand—can help rebuild trust and make clear class politics evident again.Are we ready to move beyond slogans and toward a post-capitalism that's practical, democratic, and winnable? Are we ready to further define our vision's features to the extent we now can, and to refine and improve them as we proceed? Sunkara proposes a path forward to consider. Support the show

The coalition has also set up a special Knesset committee to advance a bill that would replace Israel’s independent media regulators with political appointees. The change will give the government sweeping authority to fine and sanction news outlets – a move critics warn could permanently reshape the country’s media environment. Another bill under discussion would privatize Israel’s public broadcaster, Kan, and close down its news division. Earlier this year, Reporters Without Borders dropped Israel’s ranking to 112 out of 180 countries in the World Press Freedom Index.
