Rev Left Radio

Breht went onto the International Solidarity Podcast with host Ashwin! "In this latest episode, I'm joined by Breht O'Shea (who many of you will know as the host of Revolutionary Left Radio [https://revleftradio.com/] and co-host of Red Menace [https://revleftradio.com/]) for a pretty wide-ranging discussion. We talk about the state of the left in the global north amidst the Gaza genocide and its inability to effectively do something about it, we talk about broader global shifts taking place at the moment, how the rest of this century is shaping up to look like, the role of spirituality or humanism in our left politics, combatting fear, cynicism, and individualism, the case for hope, and a whole bunch more.  Journal of International Solidarity Links Instagram:   / journalofintlsolidarity   [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqazNmaEo5a1lzRjdnMnNXNE44MkpsdUNScXhpUXxBQ3Jtc0trNDY5OFZuMk9rbjY5ZGsyQWlrMFB4ZjMwYzVfaFVHaVJyWEdLRHdKUE9HTm82MnVQX0xNUW1zc2FvVUFVRThWbTJSSms2eTE0NGN3NFNuVE5ZeXZCbE9lamlBVmRtcjFMUGl0cTR6RjlLSElHV1ZWVQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Finstagram.com%2Fjournalofintlsolidarity%2F&v=FKg2wyE92_g] Substack: https://intlsolidarity.substack.com/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa2tycFdfWW1yUExJVExISFRkdmd3N3lvZldsUXxBQ3Jtc0tuODVuR0pVeUtKbTBaaTFYTmpwLWRHQXBORGVESTVYOGNfd3V4alVEdzBQY3ZSa3V5OHZBbVJ0LV8ySGVqazNaMFZybmlfVG1XUHFfQ3pZZXBmWlR0bW5FcnpQTUJmOThFRGM3TUVKaUlWRl9ISWJXSQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fintlsolidarity.substack.com%2F&v=FKg2wyE92_g] Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@JournalofIntlSolidarity [https://www.youtube.com/@JournalofIntlSolidarity]

Breht updates listeners on the fundraiser for the family we are supporting in Gaza, updates listeners on his new job and talks about the challenges and rewards of joining a trade union, explores the economic developments in and around AI (the hype, the bubble, and the infrastructure build-out), and then discusses the US sending troops to Venezuela and the response from Latin America and China.

Alyson and Breht are guests on the Red Star Ministry Podcast [https://www.redstarministry.org/podcast], a Christian Communist outlet. Together with the host Christian, they discuss Alyson and Breht's evolving personal relationship with religion and atheism, the Dialectics of Nature and Human Consciousness, Spinozist Philosophy, Marxist Philosophy, Post-Atheism and much more.

Part Two: Breht listens to, comments on, and expounds upon a public lecture by  the late professor of philosophy Rick Roderick [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcvjwyxdQk5FE3EvvB_S8m-nNWN1igNpb] from 1989 on Hegel, Marx, and modern American capitalism. Along the way he discusses the central role of reproductive labor, the dialectic of feminism in the US across the last century, identifying with your job under capitalism, reactionary psychology and understanding the joy they take in cruelty, the insane irony of "Make America Great Again" under both Reagan and Trump, the prescience of Professor Roderick, socially necessary labor, and more. Finally, Breht opines at length on a crucial and often overlooked dimension of a truly present, meaningful life. ---------------------------------------------------- Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio [https://www.patreon.com/revleftradio] Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio [https://buymeacoffee.com/revleftradio] Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio: https://revleftradio.com/ [https://revleftradio.com/] outro music 'Mooncakes' by Spinitch find and support more of their work here: https://spinitch.bandcamp.com/album/com-postables-4-dessert [https://spinitch.bandcamp.com/album/com-postables-4-dessert]
