In Episode 88 we’re joined by Eric Blanc, author of We Are the Union: How Worker-to-Worker Organizing is Revitalizing Labor and Winning Big. We talk about the importance of unions in confronting the many problems of this dystopian timeline and how the model of worker-to-worker unionism is necessary to scale up unionization and create an effective labour movement. We also discuss the recent uptick in labour organizing in North America, including high-profile union drives at Starbucks and Amazon, and what workers are doing to win these struggles. We finish off with a little discussion of Young Cardamom, AKA Zohran Mamdani, mayor-elect of New York City.

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.

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.

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.

Plagued from a young age by disturbing intrusive thoughts and unable to control dangerous compulsive behaviours, 3 Body Problem screenwriter and best-selling author Rose Cartwright was immensely relieved to learn that she had a disease called OCD, which was caused by a chemical imbalance in her brain and could be easily treated with a pill. She became the UK’s poster girl for recovery from OCD, and even wrote a book called Pure—later adapted into a TV show—about the success of the psychiatric model in treating her disorder. But years later, having sunk back into chronic suicidality, she struggled with the fact that this model hadn’t really produced any kind of long term relief. Then she discovered something astounding: that there is no biological basis for most of the disorders in the DSM, and the ‘chemical imbalance’ theory of mental illness had been quietly discredited years ago. She embarked on a quest to understand what was going on, resulting in her groundbreaking book The Maps We Carry: Psychedelics, Trauma, and Our New Path to Mental Health. In Episode 80, we talk to Rose about her story and her research, getting into the failures of the medical system to treat mental illness effectively, the amazing properties of psychedelics in this field, and the question of how to give working class people access to these new, important tools.

When survivors of incest act in the ways any sexually abused child would act, they are psychiatrized and medicated, and often returned to their abusers. When they grow up and search for resources on what happened to them, what they are most likely to find is terabytes of pornography. When they write about their experiences, they are siloed into the realm of self-help and excluded from the realm of politics. In episode 78 we talk with writer Kelsey Zazanis about the epidemic extent of incest child sexual abuse, the rights of children, and incest as a site of feminist political struggle. We also get deep into Jungian psychology and discuss spirituality as a way of making sense of the world.

If you’ve ever wondered why the government can’t seem to do anything about the cost of housing, it’s because it would go directly against their interests: most of them are landlords and the rest are landowners, and journalist Isaac Peltz can prove it. Our guest today has been pissing off government lawyers across the land with their pesky Access To Information requests about the assets of politicians and their uncomfortable viral videos about chronic landlordocracy. We chat about why it’s important to get this information into the hands of working class voters, gonzo journalism in the age of social media, and why leftists need thicker skins if we plan on winning a future worth living in.

Get in babe we're boycotting Amazon! These criminal American parasites retaliated against workers for unionizing their warehouse outside Montreal by firing their entire Quebec workforce and closing all their facilities in the province. This scorched-earth union-busting strategy is both illegal under Quebec law and an insult to all members of the working class. In Episode 76 we talk to Félix Trudeau, president of the Amazon Labour Union-CSN, and Louisa Worrell, spokesperson of the boycott campaign Içi, on boycotte Amazon, about what happened, what organized labour in Quebec is doing about it, and what you can do to support the workers and stick it to the sick f***s at Amazon.

If God’s law is to love one another radically, then the various forms of exile and dehumanization practised by human beings through the ages may constitute a kind of ‘cultural sin’, a deviation we keep coming back to over and over as a species because it feels good. Not only might this practice lead us further from love, and not only might it not even work to give us justice, but it might also inflict a moral injury upon all of us. In Episode 75 we’re joined by Juno Zavitz, student of divinity, former social worker, and owner of Aporrai Counselling, to discuss the theology of exile — as well as the epidemic of wreckerism sweeping through the nonprofit world.
