Capitalism Hits Home with Dr. Harriet Fraad
10/13/22 • 22 min

Too often those in charge, the "great male heroes,” receive all the credit for achievements built on the backs of so many.

System-Driven Loneliness
Capitalism Hits Home with Dr. Harriet Fraad
09/15/22 • 30 min
**CW: This episode contains discussions of rape**
In this episode of Capitalism Hits Home, Dr. Fraad takes a look at capitalist-driven loneliness. Crime is often thought of as a person breaking the law, but what about the crimes capitalism allows, and even celebrates? In our workplaces we get ripped off, monitored, and lose our humanity. Commodities are sold to us only to get recalled, addictive pain-killers destroy lives with zero accountability, powerful men get away with sexual assault, and politicians are bought out and no longer serve everyday people. Capitalism infiltrates every corner of our lives and leaves us feeling utterly alone and helpless. What is the antidote to this state-sponsored loneliness? Connection. We must join unions, movements, and connect with our fellow Americans to demand a system that supports the masses.

07/10/23 • 28 min
Socialist visions of communal shared domestic labor and child rearing have existed in the past and exist in the present. In 1917 following the Russian Revolution the government changed the rules and created a domestic revolution. At the turn of the century in the United States over 200 large and established socialist communes existed. Domestic revolution was then considered a valuable means of revolutionary change.

What is Class?
Capitalism Hits Home with Dr. Harriet Fraad
06/24/21 • 28 min
In this episode of CHH, Dr. Fraad defines what class is and explores where it has hit in America. America has included 4 class formations: slavery, feudalism, capitalism, and communism.

Children in the US Today
Capitalism Hits Home with Dr. Harriet Fraad
05/13/21 • 37 min
America's Children are the source of omnipresent sentimental solicitude. At the same time, they are in fact massively neglected and in trouble. Dr. Fraad explores the suffering of American children and what can be done to change that trouble and restore joy to children, and their parents as well.
A Movement for Women — A Movement for All
Capitalism Hits Home with Dr. Harriet Fraad
01/24/19 • 29 min
The Women’s Movement is Re-emerging. Unlike the 1960s and 1970s, the need for basic economic change applies to both men and women together rather than women versus men, one gender versus the other. The American economic boat is sinking: men and women are drowning together. Only a movement unified around class differences and addressing all issues together will have a chance to win the lasting change we need.
