The Communist Manifesto, w Eastern Washington Progressives

The Communist Manifesto, w Eastern Washington Progressives

Members of Eastern Washington Progressives (EWAP), two of whom are going to the candidacy process to become members of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), discuss what is perhaps the most well-known text by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels: The Communist Manifesto. This is episode one of what will be a weekly series on leftist, and predominately Marxist, political theory. We will be treating each episode as a discussion, in which we cover the text and discuss where and how it applies to today. "Socialism: Utopian and Scientific" by Engels is next, so stay tuned. Please forgive the poor quality. We are meeting virtually because of the pandemic, and are new to the whole process. Things will improve in the coming weeks and months ahead.

Ep. 2: US Starts Another War in Iraq

(Around 4 minutes in, I, Tiago, misspoke. I meant to say "PMF" but accidentally said "Kataib Hezbollah." Also, at approximately 15 minutes in, I was trying to warn about US officials and media linking anti-American Iraqi groups and individuals with Iran.) Hosts Tiago Correia and Justice Forral discuss the most recent and major events in Iraq, specifically the US airstrikes against the Iraqi militia group Kataib Hezbollah on March 13, some background and context leading up to the attacks, and the implications for Iraq and the region as a whole.
