Hello everybody and welcome back to RevLeft Radio.

On today's episode I have on Matthew John from this American left and the author of

Millennial Marxist on to talk about his book and then we just get into a broad discussion

on a plethora of topics from the end of neoliberalism to the rise of multi polarity to this

time of reaction we're living in in the United States to what could possibly come next and so

much more is really a spontaneous organic and wide ranging conversation in which we touched a

lot of different bases. So again this is Matthew John his book is Millennial Marxist and here is my

conversation with him. Enjoy.

Hey my name is Matthew I go by Matthew John John being my middle name I'm a writer I'm also a

notorious Instagram shit poster and recently I had my account suspended by Instagram but that's

another story. I've been writing for probably most of my life I couldn't really pinpoint when I

started but I've been writing poetry short stories I've kept journals for many years and in 2017 I

started writing political commentary and this was shortly after Trump took office and I continued I

was posting on medium.com a blogging platform so I was getting some some attractions some

attention some some good feedback and I also was submitting my work to the Hampton Institute many

of you might have heard of the Hampton Institute working class thing tank. So I've basically kept

writing political commentary usually responding to current events this is all kind of from a left

as perspective but I was I got to say I was kind of a baby leftist starting out and I kind of

evolved politically over this time this is about four years of writing and eventually I was kind

of burnt out in writing in the middle of 2021 and I looked back at everything I had written and I

was I just got the idea to you know combine it into a book so I have this collection of political

commentary that I thought was still relevant and something I put a ton of effort into yeah
