Summary

Our friends Arturo and Shemon stop by to discuss the George Floyd rebellion and how it might go from a series of isolated insurrections to a glorious proletarian revolution. Radical geography, looting caravans, white accomplices, organized labor, and the black counter-insurgency as viewed through a Fresh Prince of Bel-Air lens.

Stay tuned for Friday's bonus in which we discuss the chud riot at the capitol and what lessons we can take from the American Civil War.
