Our guest Rick Kuhn explains the results of the German election. Rick is a socialist economist and political analyst. He is the author of a biography of Marxist economist Henryk Grossman, for which he won the Deutscher Prize.  In understanding the German election, the key word is "polarisation". The fascist AfD have received their best vote yet, of over 20%. Meanwhile the anti-racist left party, Die Linke, tapped into a movement of young antifascists and picked up 9%. The centre ruling coalition has collapsed after years of economic stagnation and migrant-bashing, and has been replaced by the conservative Christian Democrats who court the far-right.  Further reading: "Far right surges, but left surprises, in German elections" by Sean Larson in Red Flag Buy Rick Kuhn's book: Labor's Conflict Rick Kuhn on economic crisis: https://marxistleftreview.org/articles/economic-crises-are-unavoidable-under-capitalism/

To become a sustaining member go to https://LauraFlanders.org/donate Thank you for your continued support!Description: Abolition, decolonization, immigration, Palestine — how is the Left thinking about the future in this perilous political moment? Socialists and activists showed up in the thousands to this year's Socialism Conference, a four-day event packed with discussion of today's most pressing issues and strategies for organizing. Laura Flanders & Friends was there, in Chicago (just days after the Democratic National Convention) for a live taping with three renowned organizers: Nick Estes, a citizen of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe and author of “Our History is the Future: Standing Rock Versus the Dakota Access Pipeline, and the Long Tradition of Indigenous Resistance” and co-founder of The Red Nation, an organization dedicated to Native liberation; Rachel Herzing, an organizer, activist, and advocate fighting the violence of surveillance, policing and imprisonment and co-author of “How to Abolish Prisons: Lessons from the Movement Against Imprisonment”; and Harsha Walia, co-founder of No One Is Illegal, an anti-colonial migrant justice organization and author of the books “Undoing Border Imperialism” and “Border and Rule”. As you'll hear, they're not counting on politicians to step into office and grant their wishes. They're focusing beyond the election cycle. Join us as we envision a liberated future and explore all that it takes to get there. Plus Laura's commentary.“. . . Having Deb Haaland [serve as] the Secretary of Interior, has been good in the sense that we've gotten these really amazing reports on things that we've already known, that there was this massive systematic genocide of Native children . . . But at the same time, her department has overseen more oil and gas leases on federal lands than the Trump administration, and that's not an indictment of her as a person. That's an indictment of that department . . .” - Nick Estes“. . . We know every single fall in an election season that Black women get told we're the saviors of the entire world and everything relies on us, even though the rest of the time it's very happily that we're kind of left to die, quite literally. We are given this message on a regular basis, and I don't know what to say to people about that. The policies of the so-called United States are not life-affirming policies for Black people, for imprisoned people, and for people living as women.” - Rachel Herzing“I just think that the strongest counterforce to fascism and anti-colonialism is an organized Left. It is not a candidate . . . Sometimes I think we get fixated on what candidates will or won't do, and we don't think about the conditions that the Left can create to actually make those possibilities happen . . .” - Harsha WaliaGuests:•.

Germany 1923: A New Perspective on a Failed Revolution (& a Poem for Palestine) One hundred years ago, a socialist revolution came close to happening in Germany. This episode is an interview with Sean Larson, who has written an article that draws on original research to illuminate what happened and why: https://spectrejournal.com/germany-1923/ For further reading: On the revolution of 1918: https://jacobin.com/2018/11/german-revolution-centennial-rosa-luxemburg-social-democrats On Germany 1918-1933: Germany's Counterrevolution Paved the Way for the Rise of Nazism https://jacobin.com/2022/02/german-revolution-november-weimar-republic-luxemburg-nazis On an important German marxist: Ernst Meyer, Theorist of Revolutionary Realpolitik https://jacobin.com/2019/09/ernst-meyer-germany-weimar-republic-communism-realpolitik-rosa-luxemberg On the history of the global workers' movement: https://salvage.zone/what-happened-to-the-workers-movement/ ***Israel's war on Gaza is on our minds and I hope listeners are involved in Palestine solidarity activity wherever you are.*** At this time, I recommend reading the classic document by Palestinian marxist Jabra Nicola: Theses on the revolution in the Arab East https://matzpen.org/english/1972-09-14/theses-on-the-revolution-in-the-arab-east-a-said-jabra-nicola/ While obviously over-optimistic, and much has changed in the half-century since it was written, Nicola's analysis helps us understand the impasse into which the PLO led the Palestinian struggle, which allowed Hamas's rise to begin, and why ultimately, because of the specific character of Israeli settler-colonialism, the possibility of radical change within Israel depends on the struggles of the masses in the region, outside as well as inside its borders.

This month marks the 100th anniversary of the start of the German Revolution. Never heard of it? Don’t worry, most people haven’t, even though the revolution—or rather its failure—is arguably one of the most significant events of the 20th century, with consequences ranging from the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany to the triumph of Stalinism over the Russian Revolution. But there’s more to learn about the German Revolution beyond the fact of its ultimate failure. It’s also the closest socialism has gotten to winning in an advanced industrialized capitalist country, and it’s full of rich lessons even a century later. This week we have a conversation with Sean Larson, a PhD student in German Studies at NYU who is currently working on a dissertation on the German revolution. Sean recently wrote an excellent article in Jacobin about the first year of the revolution, and if all this information is new to you, read his article (see the link below) after you listen to the interview. For our opener, Eric joined Jen and Danny to talk about the return of anti-Semitism as a force in mainstream American politics. We discuss how the return of this racist ideology is rooted in the rise of far-right white supremacist groups as well as the urgent need to rebuild a fight against anti-Semitism.

Rusty Ryan and Sean Larson are back after a short delay.  The two talk about the Oregon Spring game, which includes: The QBs, Pharoah Brown, Devon Allen & the receivers, and the new 4-3 D. Since Oregon is a T&F school we've got some awards to talk abt

Rusty Ryan and Sean Larson are back to preview the NFL Draft and the Oregon Spring Game this Saturday.  DeForest Buckner is the only Duck that will go on Day 1 and all signs point to him going to the 49ers.  We also talk about what we need to see in the spring game on Saturday.

Rusty and Sean Larson look into all the post-fall camp news they can get their hands on.  They discuss what finishing second on the depth chart means for Jeff Lockie.  They also discuss what we can expect from Vernon Adams as a starter and what he brings to the table.  Side note, a Seattle, Washington news person hates on Oregon for getting a post-grad transfer, because the city of Seattle has never beneffited from one of those. Breaking down the entire depth chart Rusty and Sean go position by position and see what are the strong parts, the weaker parts in terms of depth, and which units really need to step up this season. After much googling and deep keyword searches on the internet, as well as crawling around a couple sites, Sean and Rusty find the Eastern Washington media guide, which is really the only piece of information they could find on the Eastern Washington Eagles.  At the end the two go over what to expect for the Ducks in their matchup against Eastern Washington.  

Rusty and Sean Larson discuss the headlines coming out of Rob Moseley's practice reports.  The receivers are getting better because of depth.  The injury of Thomas Tyner is discussed and what that means for the Oregon backfield.  Vernon Adams and Jeff Lockie are still locked in a battle for the starting quarterback job and the two discuss what it means when Adams wins and what i means if Lockie wins. Sean and Rusty disagree on depth and talent in certain areas of the roster and go position-by-position throughout the roster. As always, the impending mtachup with Michigan State is discussed.  

Rusty Ryan and Sean Larson give the PAC-12 North an exhaustive look.  They weight the odds of whether Stanford or Oregon will win the North, how seriously teams should take Cal, and try to sort through Washington, Washington State, and Oregon State.  Lastly, the two give an idea of what to expect in the future from the teams.

Rusty Ryan and Sean Larson give the PAC-12 South an exhaustive look.  They weight the odds of whether UCLA, USC, Arizona State, Arizona, or Utah will win the South, how seriously teams should take Utah, and look into how much progress has been made at Colorado.  Lastly, the two give an idea of what to expect in the future from the teams.

Rusty Ryan and Sean Larson reunite aftr a hiatus in time for college football season.  This podcast is focused on the Oregon Ducks football team heading into fall camp.  The podcast begins with what the quarterback race looks like between Jeff Lockie and Vernon Adams.  Will Adams showing up late to camp put Lockie in a big enough lead to secure the spot?  The next topic of conversation is what to do with Charles Nelson.  Should he play on the offensive side of the ball or on the defensive side of the ball?  Regardless of who is the quarterback he's got a lot of help with the skill players back on offense.  The last position on offense is the line and Sean and Rusty talk about the transfer at center.  On defense the two look at the unit seeing the most new faces: the secondary.  The importance of DeForest Buckner and the hopes for the linebacker group finish off the podcast.  

Rusty Ryan and Sean Larson end their sabbatical from the podcast to recap the year that was in 2015.  The first topic of conversation is the almighty football team, how this team was different from the 2007, 2010 teams, and what we can expect moving forward.  Men's and Women's basketball were covered with how the men blew away all expectations and how the women are back on the path to success.  There's also discussion about cross country, golf, acrobatics and tumbling, and track & field.  The ending sees Rusty and Sean discussing baseball.  

We visit with Sean Larson of Addicted to Quake to talk about the Oregon Ducks and what to expect from the 2015 version of their football program.
