    Ep 9: Comrade Cluck is a Scab Part II

    Part II: Mike Woliansky and Sadrah Schadel were punk rockers with a vision to save the world one vegan meat product at a time. No Evil Foods is sold as an activist brand with a mission, but their socialist-themed branding and co-opting of leftist rhetoric can’t cover up their union busting and treatment of workers as disposable. So how did this “progressive” company come to exploit their employees just like any other cutthroat capitalists? In this episode we speak with union organizers and former No Evil Foods employees Jon, Meagan and Josh about their experiences with the company and its union busting tactics. Even further proving their contempt for their employees, just weeks after this episode was recorded No Evil Foods laid off their entire production staff without warning or severance.

    Ep 6: Disrupt the Almighty Dollar Part II

    PART II FINALE WITH ABOLITIONIST-ORGANIZER-JOURNALIST MIRINDA "That's like that Fred Hampton shit: He'd be like, 'White power to white people. Black power to Black people.' What I think he meant is, 'Look: The problematic of coalition is that coalition isn't something that emerges so that you can come help me, a maneuver that always gets traced back to your own interests. The coalition emerges out of your recognition that it's f****d up for you, in the same way that we've already recognized that it's f****d up for us. I don't need your help. I just need you to recognize that this shit is killing you, too, however much more softly, you stupid m**********r, you know?'" - Fred Moten Mirinda organizes with Workers World Party, The Texas Death Penalty Abolition Movement (on Twitter and Facebook), and Fight for Im/migrants and Refugees Everywhere (Fight ICE with FIRE).

    Ep 4: To Protect and Serve (The Rich)

    Shane of the Anarcho Rifle Association joins us to discuss cops and unions. We examine policing as a tool for repressing social movements, their increasing militarization, reform vs. abolition (alternatives to police as they operate now), and the absurd union busting tactics deployed against workers in Bessemer, Alabama in the recent vote to unionize their Amazon warehouse.
