Summary

How can a Black Marxist analysis help us stop fascism? Solid easy question for Yahoo Answers. Professor Robin D.G. Kelley joins Francesca and comedian Nato Green to discuss the importance of both an anti-capitalist and an anti-racist analysis. He digs into the roots of the current BLM movement and how the once-fringe discussions around prison abolition are becoming more mainstream. Plus, QAnon is apparently just a dude living in Japan, and Joe Manchin won't reform the filibuster because he still believes in bi-partisanship and probably the tooth fairy. AND, a special bonus discussion about the disappointing Amazon union vote in Bessemer, Alabama with Nato and Robin for patrons only! Become a patron today https://www.patreon.com/bitchuationroom.
