Fucking Cancelled

The first real, proletarian resistance to the second Trump administration kicked off last week in LA as thousands of working people flooded the streets, responding to the increasingly brutal terrorism they are being subjected to by US security forces. Returning guest Cecilia Guerrero joins us to discuss the LA rebellion, the state of organized resistance to Trump in the US, the socialist position on mass migration, and why you need to learn Spanish immediately. Cecilia is an organizer in Nashville, Tennessee, where she works with A Luta Sigue, the Tennessee Drivers’ Union, Nashville People Power and the Southern Youth Solidarity Network.

Award-winning author and historian Sarah Schulman joins us in Episode 84 to talk about her new book, The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity. We talk about what solidarity means in the context of today’s neoliberal hellworld and how to be in solidarity across differences in power. We also talk about Sarah’s process of debrainwashing from Zionism, how she has learned to be in solidarity with Palestinians, and the importance of telling the truth no matter what.

As the tech oligarchs dream of subjecting us all to their sick fantasies and their pet governments pave the road to hell with bad intentions, the sycophantic press breathlessly praises each new ‘advancement’ in dystopian tech — and each new phony scam as well. In Episode 83 we’re joined by Paris Marx, technology critic, author and host of Tech Won’t Save Us, one of the most important podcasts of the Canadian Left. We discuss technopessimism, fully-automated luxury space communism, whether sentient AIs will ever be a thing, and what, behind all the smoke and mirrors, the evil techlords are actually trying to accomplish.

As the masked goons of the MAGA nanny-state continue to disappear students for holding views upsetting to hysterical Zionists and their sweaty, senile leader continues to rule by deranged imperial decree executive order, we sit down with Erica Thomas, a union organizer, professor and artist, to talk about what’s going on in our increasingly unhinged southern neighbour, the USA. We talk about the Portland police force’s weird attempt to join the Oregon labour movement, the enshittification of higher education and everything else, and the state of Palestine organizing on campuses today. We also talk about union art, the Democratic Socialists of America, and the possibility, at long last, of the emergence of a true third party in US politics.

Depressing but true: we’re hurtling toward human-caused climate collapse and our political-economic system, captured by capitalist elites intent on squeezing out profits until the day our civilization collapses, is effectively incapable of responding by itself. It must be forced: but how? Petitions haven’t worked. Rallies haven’t worked. Posting on Instagram hasn’t worked. And ****ing up pipelines, sexy though it might be, hasn’t worked. So while purists call for mass eco-insurgency and liberals circulate change.org petitions, the A22 Network has responded by organizing and mobilizing huge numbers of committed militants around the Western world, using large-scale civil disobedience as a tactic to push governments to adopt basic climate policies. These tactics have been controversial but successful: Just Stop Oil, the British branch of A22 perhaps best known for throwing soup at a Van Gogh, recently disbanded itself because its main demand — that the UK government cease approving any new oil and gas exploitation projects — has been adopted. In Episode 81 we chat with Laura Sullivan, a spokesperson for Last Generation Canada, which is the Canadian branch of the A22 Network. We talk about Last Generation’s demands, the tactics used by the group, combating the freeze response often provoked by discussions of climate collapse, and preparing for revolutionary conditions as things inevitably deteriorate.
