It Can Be Done It Can Be Done

This was a presentation Phil and Sloce gave about organizing with Richmond City Workers and SEIU 512 on 06/08/2022.  Thank you to The Virginia Worker for organizing this event.
Please plan to come to City Hall on Monday, June 27th, at 5:30 pm to meet and rally with Richmond City Workers and community supporters before we go to the City Council Meeting.
There is an opportunity for Richmond City Workers to make history and WIN Collective Bargaining Rights! We need a STRONG showing to keep our movement for our union alive. There's a role for everyone, from speaking in public comment or cheerleading our crew to wearing a t-shirt or holding a sign--it's all hands on deck!

Just the guys hanging out talking about guy stuff like: The Princess Diaries, Metal, going Sarah Koenig on one of our twitter followers, and yes the film Morbius.  

Returning champion Big Dave (@BoomGoesTheDave) is on the pod to discuss Lenin's Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism. We discuss social chauvinism, opportunism, and fools that follow those paths.

We are listenening to Faith No More ranking our favorite Richmond mascots, and going over some recent news in Virginia.

Our guest this episode is Mike Davis. Scholar, author, organizer, activist, and once upon a time "the last living socialist in America", best known for his works City of Quartz, Late Victorian Holocausts, and many others.  We talked about the exurbs, rural america, the challenges that lay ahead, organizing around them, and why the left shouldn't cede anger at the state of things.

We are joined by our good comrade Meadow to discuss the booklet “Killing and Transforming the Dominant Man” by the Andrea Wolf Institute.  This text combines the ideology of the Kurdish Freedom Movement with other work on critical masculinity. This was a wonderful and enlightening conversation, and I think it is an excellent follow up to our episode on Friedrich Engels’s The Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State.
