Things are heating up at Christie Pitts, 92 years after the famous riot there.In the first half of this episode, John Clarke and host Jessa McLean talk about the Swastika clubs that sprung up in Toronto back in 1933, how they were emboldened by the rise of Hitler and the Nazis, as well as legitimized, even encouraged by the establishment here in Canada.

She'll also share some of the details around the planned anti-immigration rally and what organizers of the counter protest planned for this Saturday, September 13th hope to see happen.Call to Action: Register to Attend Community RallyRelated Episodes: Making Mass Actions Count, John Clarke, Professor at York University and longtime organizer, compares the 2022 strike by CUPE workers to the 1995 Days of Action against then Premier Mike Harris.

It's a different story. Veterans can't find work, DoorDash zones are full, and the average American is juggling 2–4 jobs just to survive. This is what monetary oppression looks like. In this episode, I break down the truth behind the economic headlines, expose the oversaturation of the gig economy, and explain how we're being pushed into financial dependency, all while the rich stack gold, silver, and crypto.

In our sixth episode, and final episode of our subset on the struggle of farmworkers,  we discuss the epic agricultural strikes of the 1930s.  With farm wages slashed to starvation levels during the Great Depression, organization in the fields made the slogan "Fight, Don't Starve!" a reality. While the AFL continued to refuse to organize farmworkers, the Communist Party stepped into the gap and organized the largest agricultural strike wave in US history in 1933. In response, farm owners and their allies in the state unleashed truly fascist repression, attempting to drown these struggles in blood. But the perseverance of the workers and their dedication to racial and national unity managed to extract vital wins even in the depths of the worst economic downturn in the country's history. These struggles would terrify farm owners so much, they would lobby the state to create the country's first guest worker program, the Bracero Program, to institute a legalized regime of apartheid in the fields and try to prevent the racial unity that proved so powerful. These fights and the response from the capitalist class laid the foundations for the structures of exploitation and oppression faced by farmworkers today, and carry many lessons for those who would organize for a better future.

With the largest middle class tax cuts to $10 trillion in new investment in American manufacturing, rising hourly wages and the dropping cost of gas and groceries, President Trump makes his case to the beleaguered American Worker: I see you, and I will not let you down. The GOP Is the Party of the Working Class. Chicago's Labor Day weekend bloodbath leaves 54 people shot in 60 hours, but Mayor Brandon Johnson says DON'T BELIEVE THE DATA. Ilhan Omar's net worth skyrockets 3500% in one year.

As the popularity of the United States Democratic Party reaches historic lows, author Joan Williams argues that the party's elitism is still pushing people away. Williams is the founder of the Equality Action Center at the College of Law at the University of California at San Francisco and author of Outclassed: How the Left Lost the Working Class and How to Win Them Back. She tells host Steve Clemons that, unless the Democrats realign themselves with the people, they will continue to founder and voters will continue to flock to populists.

In the fifth episode of our series on the class struggles on the US-Mexico border, we continue our deep dive into the history of the fight by farmworkers in the Southwest to demand fair wages, working conditions, and dignity. The 1920s were an area of ruling class dominance in the US, and along with their surging wealth, the ideology of eugenic "race science" was developed to justify the extreme inequality and exploitation of the oppressed. In this context, Mexican workers in the fields of California and the factories of the Midwest faced explicitly racist super exploitation by their bosses. In this episode, we discuss efforts by radical organizers in the IWW, the Communist Party, and Mexican mutualistas to combat this extreme racism and unify the fightback of all farmworkers, with many lessons for us to draw from in our fight against racist ICE terrorism today.

Inflation has reached its highest level since January 2024, fuelled by soaring air fares and rising food prices. Despite Keir Starmer's repeated claims that Labour are bringing inflation down, the figures are saying otherwise, laying the ground for a tax grab from the Chancellor Rachel Reeves which will attack the middle-classes. Tim Stanley and Jacob Rees-Mogg discuss how we got into this mess, the latest immigration data, and Kemi Badenoch's future as the leader of the Tories. And they'll also be joined by Maurice Glasman, the Labour peer, academic and the man behind “Blue Labour”, who has spent years challenging his own party. He tells us what he thinks about Labour's first year in Government, his latest trip to Ukraine and why phone snatchers should be publicly humiliated.Producer: Georgia CoanSenior Producer: John CadiganExecutive Producer: Charlotte SeligmanPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyVideo Editor: Will WaltersStudio Director: Meghan Searle Hosted on Acast.

Following our double-episode on the Florence Working-Class Literature Festival back in February, our co-host Matt was invited to this year's festival, recording this episode on-site at the ex-GKN factory in Florence. Featuring the various writers, researchers, organisers, and activists in attendance, this episode captures the atmosphere of the festival at this critical time for the GKN struggle.Our podcast is brought to you by patreon supporters of both Working Class Literature and Working Class History.

They subsequently seized the factory and remain in control of it to this day, despite receiving their third – and now final – redundancy notice in the days leading up to this year's festival.Recorded on-site at the occupied GKN factory on the outskirts of Florence, this episode features the voices of various writers, researchers, organisers, and activists that we spoke to while at the festival. These conversations took place against a frenzy of activity, both for the festival but also the GKN struggle itself.AcknowledgementsThanks to all our patreon supporters for making this podcast possible.

MAGA Michigan House Speaker Matt Hall is proudly joining his Dear Leader Donald Trump in punching the state's working class in the gut.  Hall hailed the MAGA Murder Budget is a "win" for Michigan, even though hundreds of thousands will lose their Medicaid and food assistance. Even more, thousands of jobs are getting slashed due to The Regime's war on clean energy.  Hall and his MAGA supporters in the Michigan House are willing to shutdown the state government unless Democrats agree to slash spending for schools, health care, and jobs so that the corporate donor base receives another tax cut.  Hall's been described as the "Trump before Trump." Judging how Trump's so-called economic policies are damaging Michigan to no end, it's imperative that Democrats re-take the state House to stop Hall.

Labour have admitted to failing white, working-class children in Britain. Writing in today's Daily Telegraph, Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson says it's a “national disgrace” that so many pupils are being left behind, pointing to an alarming rise in school absence whilst all-important attainment figures go the other way. Having inherited a strong schools system from the Conservatives, Gordon Rayner is joined by former Tory education minister, Sir Nick Gibb, to try and understand what's gone wrong. Gibb believes Labour “didn't do the work in opposition to try and understand how to improve” and that they've been “listening to the teacher unions too closely”.Plus, Tim Stanley and Cleo Watson speak to Lawrence Newport - the co-founder of Looking for Growth, a campaign group that wants to kick-start our flailing economy. Newport, who made his start in political campaigning by getting XL bully dogs banned, says our politics is fundamentally broken, too slow and too ineffective - echoing one of his group's backers, Dominic Cummings.Read:White working-class pupils ‘written off' by society, admits PhillipsonProducer: Lilian FawcettSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyVideo Editor: Andrew MackenzieSocial Producer: James SimmonsStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Producer: Louisa Wells Hosted on Acast.

On Franz Jakubowski's Ideology and Superstructure in Historical Materialism. We focus on a very short section from Jakubowski's 1936 book, and delve into wider questions regarding ideology, social totality, and the middle classes. Is ideology “false, partial consciousness”? Is Jakubowski right that capitalism is the least ideological social form so far? Is it true that the middle classes only come into contact with the commodity when it is in circulation? How is the middle class' social position reflected in its worldview? How has this changed over 100 years?

Economist & co-founder of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, criticizes the Big Beautiful Bill and tariffs as policies that harm the American Economy and the working class.Subscribe to our Newsletter:https://politicsdoneright.com/newsletterPurchase our Books: As I See It: https://amzn.to/3XpvW5o How To Make AmericaUtopia: https://amzn.to/3VKVFnG It's Worth It: https://amzn.to/3VFByXP Lose Weight And BeFit Now: https://amzn.to/3xiQK3K Tribulations of anAfro-Latino Caribbean man: https://amzn.to/4c09rbE

Dean Baker, co-founder of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), delivered a scathing analysis of Trump's economic policies, revealing how the “Big Beautiful Bill” and tariff strategy constitute a massive upward redistribution of wealth disguised as populist measures. Baker argued that the legislation primarily benefits wealthy elites while imposing regressive taxes on working-class Americans through tariffs that will cost families thousands annually.* Healthcare Catastrophe: Baker warned that the legislation will strip healthcare from 12-17 million Americans while claiming to save $800 billion, creating a healthcare crisis that will devastate working families and close hospitals in vulnerable communities.* Upward Redistribution Disguised as Populism: Baker exposed how Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill” delivers massive tax cuts to the wealthy while offering minimal benefits to working people through gimmicky measures like tax-free tips and overtime that help few Americans in practice.* Tariffs as Regressive Taxation: The economist demonstrated how tariffs function as a deeply regressive tax that disproportionately hits low- and moderate-income families, who spend larger portions of their income on goods subject to tariffs rather than services.* Media Complicity in Class Warfare: Baker identified systematic media bias that favors wealthy interests, explaining how reporters face pressure when covering stories that challenge the rich but encounter no pushback for content that serves elite interests.* Manufacturing Job Quality Decline: The analysis revealed how trade deals destroyed unionized manufacturing jobs, with union membership in manufacturing dropping from 30% in 1980 to just 8% today, making current manufacturing jobs no longer particularly well-paying.Baker's analysis exposes the fundamental deception underlying Trump's economic agenda, revealing how populist rhetoric masks a brutal assault on working-class Americans. The economist's work demonstrates that the “Big Beautiful Bill” represents perhaps the most cynical example of class warfare in modern American politics, using the language of economic nationalism to advance policies that systematically transfer wealth from workers to the wealthy.

In the fourth episode of our series on the class struggles on the US-Mexico border, we begin a three part section on the history of struggle by Mexican farmworkers in the fields of the Southwest. At the turn of the 20th century, the center of gravity of US agricultural production shifted to California, and the demand for labor soared. This era was dominated by attempts by large landowners to split up their workforce by race, and use demonization and discrimination to keep workers from organizing and keep wages low. But while organizing has always been difficult, workers have never accepted brutal exploitation without fighting back. In this episode, we discuss efforts like the Japanese-Mexican Labor Association, the Renters Union, and Las Gorras Blancas to organize and fight against racist oppression in the first two decades of the 20th century.

On Sunday, July 20, 2025, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez delivered the keynote speech at the national convention of the National Organization of Legal Services Workers (NOLSW), UAW Local 2320. “I am here to report back to you from the front lines of struggle, without hesitation or hyperbole, that we are at risk of losing everything,” Alvarez told the crowd of union members. “And so I am here not to extol the virtues of your union or the value of unions in general, but to ask you bluntly: What good is a union in Hell? How much can an organization of the dawned do in a future no one wants to live in? What good does a collective bargaining agreement serve when the world as we know it is dying?”Additional links/info: NOLSW-UAW Local 2320 website, X page, Facebook page, and InstagramFeatured Music: Jules Taylor, “Working People” Theme SongCredits: Audio Post-Production: Jules Taylor Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!
