In this “radical reading”, Trevor dissects Angela Nagle’s piece in the American Affairs Journal, The Left Case Against Open Borders. The article argues the economics of immigration should push the left to a more restrictionist position. Something Trevor makes short work of, because as you’ll hear, solidarity is core to our socialist movement.

Finally, he rounds out a depressing episode with a discussion of what is happening in India and specifically Modi’s crack down on Kashmir.

I set out to write the third and final episode of the series, but ended up fixated on this idea of the alt-right brain and how these people come to hold beliefs that allow them to commit such horrific acts of violence. As I finished editing, I opened my phone to the news another apparent white nationalist had murdered at least 12 people in El Paso Texas. I hope this episode serves as a way to make sense of the endless tragedies.

On the debate we recap the both debates. Yep, that’s right, all 20 candidates! On night one, Bernie Sanders has his best performance, teaming up with Elizabeth Warren to destroy the centrists. On night two, Kamala struggles trying to play defense and Joe Biden stammers his way to a performance that probably won’t hurt him. Plus a broader analysis of the race.

This week, in an informal and loosely structured meditation, Trevor discusses the attacks in Gaza that killed 25 Palestinians and injured many more in a broader context. How can we transform our outdated discussions about Israel and Palestine with a more humanitarian and, in fact, effective conversation that treats Palestinians as people deserving of rights?
A ton of more content coming about Palestinian liberation and how it relates to western imperialism, which must be a first-order issue for those of us trying to transform society.
Book discussed in the podcast (highly recommended):
On Palestine by Noam Chomsky and Ilan Pappé

In the second part of a two-part series on feminism, Trevor turns to solutions and strategies. He notes the inherent problems with liberal bourgeois feminism, and how we can instead build a politics that empowers working women and gives them agency over all aspects of their lives. This will take true representation combined with creative thinking in designing policy, best achieved through a democratic process.
