Rather than connecting us in common struggle and debate, the internet has sped up and deepened a long-standing process of alienation and atomization.

THE H
the-haitian-struggle-against-empire-w
After being the only slave colony to gain its independence through a successful slave revolt Haiti has paid a price for that freedom. Financially and figuratively.
A mountain of debt owed to France coupled with generations of puppet leadership that does the bidding of the U.S. The Clintons and Obama have taken advantage of the island nation, Haiti is a bipartisan project. Donald Trump referring to Haiti as a "shithole" nation was just saying the quiet part out loud.
Guest Daoud Andre Haitian activist will discuss the current political situation in Haiti in which the president is demanding removal by the population who argue his constitutional mandate has ended. We'll discuss the U.S. and the West's role in the matter as well.

EVALU
evaluating-the-žižek-vs.-peterson
The debate between Slavoj Žižek and Jordan Peterson was billed as the “debate of the century,” but many on the American far left were unimpressed by the prospect of it. This video explores what the outcome of the debate might have been, critiques the criticism of the debate, and provides an excerpt from Eliot Rosenstock’s book “Zizek in the Clinic".
[Addendum: At the 9 minute and 20-second mark I credit Harrison Fluss for writing a criticism of Zizek in Jacobin. I should have credited both Harrison Fluss and Sam Miller.]

THE L

Paul Mattick's essay "The Lenin Legend" was published in 1935. Mattick's essay begins with these lines:
"The yellower and more leathery the skin of the mummified Lenin grows, and the higher the statistically determined number of visitors to the Lenin Mausoleum climbs, the less are people concerned about the real Lenin and his historical significance."
In this video Djene Rhys Bajalan and Kuba Wrzesniewski join Doug Lain to discuss the essay and whether Mattick's polemic holds up today.
