The Left, Inshallah: Recent Episodes
@AllahReduction and @LeilaMechoui
A podcast looking at current events from a Marxist point of view. Hosted by @AllahReduction and @leilamechoui, who are both Canadian unionists. We're trying to figure out a way forward through this end-of-times leftist hellscape, with an emphasis on political strategy for the labour movement.
We speak about what free speech means to the working class and what political orientation the left should take instead of the insane it's currently adopted. @AllahReduction regales us with tales of her experiences dealing with racism while organizing the factory floor. We give some thoughts on dealing with racist speech in the context of organizing, although we have another episode coming out to speak more about noxious speech more generally in the workplace.

We talk about Seattle's CHAZ/CHOP and trigger our PTSD by remembering our time as young activists participating in occupations. We then assess the political use of occupations more generally, and why they always fail miserably.
