Virgil and the Antifada crew continue their discussion of this dark and lascivious tale, placing it in historical context vis-a-vis the rise of right-wing populism, the Hard Hat Riot of 1970 and a disturbingly similar murder committed after the film was shot but before it was released. Plus: racial dynamics, modern day analogs and a bonus-to-the-bonus review of the New York City Press Corp's abortive attempt at satirizing the youth of today.

Our buddy Virgil Texas (@VirgilTexas) calls in to discuss the 1970 exploitation film "Joe," starring Peter Boyle, Dennis Patrick, and — in her first ever movie role!— Susan Sarandon. In a spiritual sequel to Episode 17, the crew examines the rise of neoliberalism and concurrent dissolution of the American working class through the lens of this low-budget sleeper hit, in which the titular character, fed up with the degeneracy of hippie youth culture, teams up with a well-to-do dad to get revenge.

Sean and Andy are honored to sit down with Marxist historian of the Transatlantic World and Anglo-Irish labor history, Peter Linebaugh, to discuss his 2019 book, "Red Round Globe Hot Burning: A Tale at the Crossroads of Commons and Closure, of Love and Terror, of Race and Class, and of Kate and Ned Despard". What is revolutionary love? How were the commons enclosed? What's the connection between capital and the anthropocene? How can the racialization of proletarians be overcome? How do we wrest back the commons for ourselves? This was a great conversation and we're really proud to present this episode.

For this episode of our side project on Latin American history and politics, we talk to a Human Rights lawyer from the Colombian movement Congreso del Pueblos about the recent uprising against far-right President Ivan Duque's pandemic austerity measures, and the brutal repression that followed. Earlier this year Duque proposed a new tax on consumer goods, a regressive tax disproportionately effecting the poor population already struggling against booming unemployment. A series of nationwide strikes against the tax and austerity called for late April turned out to be far more massive than anyone had predicted, overcoming some of the deep divisions between the popular movements and Duque's base. But the dozens of deaths, disappearances, countless beatings and sexual assaults that followed have only galvanized the struggle further--and our guest has concluded that the State has "already lost."
