This Wreckage

In the most cerebral episode yet of The Antifada, Jamie and Sean welcome old friend Asher Dupuy-Spencer of Verso Books into the studio. The gang talks about Jamie's near death experience at a nazi swimming hole in New Hampshire. We celebrate the memory of all-around feminist icon and totally-not ruling class monster-person Barbara Bush... leading Jamie to use the strongest genital-related epithet in the English language. Asher presents two articles by Vivek Chibber and Charlie Post that debate the tactics, strategies and horizons of radical struggle. Oh yeah, and the Antifada reveals it's modest proposal for a kinder, gentler gulag.

In The Antifada's HARD LAUNCH episode, Jamie and Sean speak with socialist power couple Doug Henwood and Liza Featherstone about aggression in Syria, the governor's race in New York, and liberal derangement syndrome. Liza does an on-air version of her socialist-feminist advice column in The Nation, "Asking for a Friend." Jamie almost sells out, but mistakes ice cream for soap so w/e. Sean reminds us that leftists don't make heroes of i-banking cops like James Comey. Doug and Liza talk about how they met and their philosophy on makin' red diaper bbs. Jamie and Liza admit they're only in it for the Bernie bro boyfriends. If you like our shit, please consider becoming a patron at Patreon.com/TheAntifada.

Up the punx! Jamie, Sean and guest Aaron Petcoff of the ISO discuss music, religion and sacred cows. We talk shit on Fiverr. Sean confuses Epitaph with Hellcat records like an old idiot. Jamie revisits one of her childhood favorites. We try nuance for the first time with regard to religion and socialism. We discuss our lame faves. Jamie cucks Sean thrice. Uber-producer Matt couldn't make it, so we screwed up the levels. Sorry!

Sean delves deep into tankiebook and brings back some scintillating slash fic about Comrade Stalin. Tankie Lena Dunham is introduced. The guys get excited and talk over Jamie. Whatever.

Everybody knows that legendary soul singer Barry White and Zionist writer Bari Weiss are not the same person. What this episode presupposes is, maybe they are? Jamie, Sean and Matt sit down with Niral Shah, DSA member and managing editor of Blunderbuss Magazine, to talk hasbara hack Bari Weiss, no platforming, and the collapse of respectable centrist discourse.

In our FIRST EVER episode, we talk to DSA member, grad student, and Leftvoice editor Tatiana Maria Cozzarelli about the International Women's Strike, building a feminism for the 99%, and women's contributions to labor struggles worldwide. ALSO: What we can learn from the West Virginia teachers' strike. Visit Leftvoice.org to read Tatiana's work! Intro music by Jamie Ingalls Art by Debbie Allen
