PODCAST: Chapter 2 Review of Howard Zinn’s A People’s History Of The United States
https://archive.org/download/zinn-ch-2/Zinn%20Ch%202.mp3 My co-host Cat and I review chapter two of Howard Zinn’s book “A People’s History Of The United States.” I’m always urging people to learn ACTUAL history, not the white supremacist, anti-labor propaganda we were indoctrinated with in school. We know you’re busy, some people are working multiple jobs to make ends meet, so…

PODCAST: Interview WSG: Independent Pro Wrestler Duncan Solaire
https://archive.org/download/duncan-solaire/DuncanSolaire.mp3 Back in August I had the pleasure of interviewing independent pro wrestler Duncan Solaire over Zoom. I had delusions of grandeur about teaching myself Adobe AfterEffects so that I could upload the video to my YouTube channel, but alas, my skill level just isn’t where it needs to be in order to produce…

https://archive.org/download/rjstar-wars/RJStarWars.mp3 This is a great episode I recorded in August with Robert Jay, of Metro Detroit Political Action Network (MDPAN), in which he talks about two of my favorite subjects: Star Wars and Revolution. It’s long, but so worth it.
BLOG: October Comeback

White Supremacy Is The Lifeblood Of The United States
And The Soviets Knew It. Check out these pieces of Soviet Anti-American propaganda from 1953, 1964, 1981.

Capitalists Benefit From Pseudoscience
Capitalism relies upon pseudoscience in order to function. This means, in part, encouraging scientific illiteracy among the masses. Sowing doubts about the veracity of science itself among the Proletariat is another strategy that they employ. It has been very effective in getting a lot of people to blind themselves to the climate crisis we face….
Cheap Lunches and Cheap Bosses
Earlier this afternoon, I had a flashback to when I first started working at a B2B magazine publisher’s headquarters in Detroit back in 2000. At that time we were at the location on Woodbridge, near the Renaissance Center, and I worked in technology services in the basement. Also in the basement was the break room,…
