    Listen Even If You Don't Want To: COVID-19, Health and Politics Today . .

Socialist health researcher Sam Friedman discusses what we should we know about the disease now, how we got here, and the lessons for future pandemics. . . Readings: .

    Episode 42: Settler colonialism, capitalism and Indigenous liberation: An Indigenous marxist view

    Settler colonialism, capitalism and Indigenous liberation: An Indigenous marxist view The Palestine solidarity movement has drawn more attention to the concept of settler colonialism, which growing numbers of people have been using to name the oppression of Indigenous nations on Turtle Island. John Carlson discusses "reconciliation," the relationship between settler colonialism and capitalism, and the political implications of their deep interconnectedness.

    Episode 41: What Is Imperialism Today?

    What is Imperialism Today? More people are talking about imperialism because of the US's backing of Israel's war against Gaza and heightened rivalry between the US, China and Russia. But what is imperialism in the third decade of the 21st century? Jeff Webber and Charlie Post discuss how we should understand imperialism and its relationship to capitalism today, the need for a better theory of imperialism than those developed by marxists like Lenin a century ago, and the political implications of how we understand imperialism. If you're interested in this topic, check out other Victor's Children episodes on imperialism and anti-imperialism including episodes 31, 32, 33, 36 and 40. If you're new to the topic you may want to listen to episode 31 before this episode. Recommended reading: Todd Gordon and Jeffery R. Webber, Prelude to a New Imperial Order? – Spectre Journal https://spectrejournal.com/prelude-to-a-new-imperial-order/

    Episode 40: Workers in the Global North: Bribed into Compliance?

    Workers in the Global North: Bribed into Compliance? Why don't more workers in rich countries support radical politics? Some leftists say it's because imperialism bribes some or all workers in imperialist countries, making them a "labour aristocracy." In this episode, Charlie Post argues against this explanation, discusses how imperialism does affect the working class in these countries, and suggests a different way of understanding what shapes working-class responses to capitalism. Readings: Charlie Post, "Exploring Working-Class Consciousness: A Critique of the Theory of the ‘Labour-Aristocracy’" https://web.archive.org/web/20190225112753/http://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/5ed0/777f248114127997056169e8c87364ec9b23.pdf
