Episode 561 – Pedagogy of the Suppressed (w/ Chris Alfonso)

As leftists, the algorithm isn’t our friend. With billionaires buying platforms to quash pro-Palestine content and suppress left views, it’s wonderful to see the community expanding with figures like the TikTok Communist & pedological superstar known as Jean Paul Fartre, who has been going viral with Marxist breakdowns and explainers of current events. On this episode, we cover the right’s reaction to the Cuba flotilla, harm reduction discourse, Chomsky’s (alleged?) role as a member of the “compatible left,” love on the left, whether one should identify as a Communist, how the left can beat the “will you condemn x?” trap, the limits of Zohran & electoralism, & more.
