Summary

This is a unique episode. We are releasing bonus content from our episode with Dr. Thoreau Redcrow and from our Maoism episode; this bonus content will be bolstered by Q and A sessions with Brett answering questions from listeners. We will also use Brett and David's music as transition between subjects.

 

Dr. Redcrow recounts being on Cuban national television, meeting Subcommadante Marcos, and getting arrested in Turkey for his political activity, and narrowly escaping being handed over to ISIS for beheading. 

 

For our Maoist episode, we had a bathroom break through which our mics stayed on. We talk a lot our experiences with right wing professors in college, the myth of Marxist professors at universities, and Taylor threatens to fight Hegel and Lacan while praising Heidegger.

We're educated, we've been given a certain set of tools, but then we're going to throw

0:03.4

on right back into the working class. Well, good luck with that because more and more of us

0:07.1

are waking the fuck up.

0:10.8

So we have a tendency to what we have, we have earned, right? And what we don't have,

0:16.5

we are going to earn. We unintentionally, I think, oftentimes kind of frame our lives

0:23.9

as though we are the predestined. People want to be guilt-free. Like, I didn't do it. This is not

0:29.7

my fault. And I think that's part of the distancing from like, we don't want to admit that this

0:34.9

is prepared. When the main function of a protect and serve, supposedly, group is actually

0:42.9

revenue generation, they don't protect and serve. Simply illogical to say that the things that

0:49.7

affect all of us that can result in us losing our house, that can result in us not having

0:54.1

seen drinking water. Why should those be in anybody else's hands? They should be in the people's

0:58.8

hands who are affected by those institutions. People engaged in to to overcome oppression, to fight

1:04.5

back and to identify those systems of structures that are oppressing them. God, those communists are

1:11.6

amazing. Welcome to Revolutionary Left Radio. I am your host and comrade, Bredo Shea. And today

1:18.0

we're doing something a little different. I had two guests lined up. Nick Smith is going to come

1:24.0

on next week to talk about Appalachia and the Appalachian Working Class, Cole Mining in the history

1:29.1

there. And then I have James Rocha from the LSU, a philosophy department coming on that same week

1:36.3

to discuss, you know, leftist analysis of pop culture. So given the schedule, disparity, both of them

1:42.9

decided to come on that day. So this leaves this week wide open. So what I figured I would do is

1:50.0

release some bonus content from previous episodes. And this bonus content is extremely interesting.

1:55.5

When I was listening to it, I was just totally entranced by what Dr. Thoreau Red Crow on the

2:02.6

on the Kurdistan episode, especially was talking about. It's so fascinating. He talks about meeting
