Welcome to The Socialist Program.

This is the audio of our monthly seminar.

Subscribe and support this programming at patreon.com slash the Socialist Program to join live once a month and ask Brian Becker your questions and listen to them as soon as they come out.

Thanks so much for your help in keeping this independent show going.

We can make this program with you,

but not without you. As always, want to really, really thank everyone for joining today. For

those of you who sent in questions, thank you. But for people who are just supporting the show,

both financially and also by joining this, by listening, just really, really appreciate it.

You know, we truly could not do this show without you. That's not just a fun thing to say that

is the actual truth. And so we're just really, really thankful to have all of you as a community

and to have so many supporters for the show and for the work that we're doing. And we know a lot

of you are out there, you know,

organizing, reading, talking to people, making change as well. And so this is just such a special

place. We really, really couldn't do this without you. Brian, do you have something you wanted to say

to start or do you want to go straight into questions? No, I do want to talk about a couple of things

in the beginning. And again, thank you to all the patrons.

You are the people who allow the show to happen. This is indeed a collective effort. I'm involved.

Nicole's involved. Walter, Esther, John Prisner, our sound engineer, you know, after every recording,

John Prisner spends many, many hours editing,

and then there's the posting the show in different social media platforms, on different

podcasting platforms, in some cases on YouTube. It's a big endeavor, and we can't do it without

the collective.
