Tribunus Plebis Podcast - (Ep. 60) Class, Labor, and Solidarity
play

10/20/22 • 42 min

Today I want to talk about class, solidarity, and the labor struggle.

I’m going to argue that the way we use class in the united states is purposefully misleading, intentionally vague and, ultimately, destructive.

Class, when defined properly, is an incredibly important concept. But, as we will see, the way we talk about class in the united states borders on gibberish. Terms like the middle class and upper middle class are absolute nonsense.

The key to making real, lasting change in the country is the working class, the vast amounts of wage workers who truly make this country run and generate value all throughout the economy.

Trump is indicted, arrested, and arraigned... and it changes nothing at all.

Brandon Johnson is elected Mayor of Chicago and Janet Protasiewicz was elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court... and these two have the potential to actually change things in those cities and states.

Let's discuss bottom up power, what hope means in the political sense, and how we can win.

Not only does capital have control of the government and media, it also has control of the cultural zeitgeist and it has a hold so powerful that most of us hear a so called journalist ask a locomotive repairman making 80 grand a year or something whether fighting for the ability to not work while they are uncontrollably defecating water and physically decimated and not get fired for it is worth destroying the economy and we sit there in front of our TVs and think, yeah, man is it worth it? We just go with it rather than open our eyes a bit and say, “Why in the world is this anchor not asking those 5 corporate dorks why they refuse to let sick workers stay home and heal?” It doesn’t even enter our heads because we’ve been fully subsumed into this absolute insanity we call this country. We blame a boilermaker for wanting a few sick days and accuse them of trying to destroy the country instead of punching the dork ceo who refuses to give our fellow workers those sick days right in the face. Really consider what I’m trying to say here. Please. It’s a deeply sick state of affairs that we blame each other and don;t even see where the real power, evil, and problem lies. It’s not the guy with the sledgehammer, I’ll tell you that much.Wages, benefits, time off, sick days, and safety are just some of the battle grounds and they are the ones most stories like this tend to focus on. But there are other battles as well, ones that are just as important, if not more so. We fight for respect, we fight for dignity, we fight for quality of life. The war is fought for justice and equity and our very humanity _______________________________________ This podcast and related works take a lot of effort and time to produce!

(Ep. 61) [Book Talk] ECONOMISM - Bad Economics and the Rise of Inequality, by James Kwak

In “Economism: Bad Economics and the Rise of Inequality”, James Kwak makes a compelling case that an overly simplistic understanding of economics (‘Econ 101’) is exacerbating the economic, social, and political problems of both the United States and the world at large.

It’s extremely important to understand that these simple ideas are being used to mislead us, to lie to us, to cheat us. Kwak does an admirable job of making this clear. And it is equally as important to be alert and to recognize when this is happening so that you can better understand exactly what it is that people are trying to do.

Tribunus Plebis Podcast - (Ep. 59) William "Big Bill" Haywood - A Life Larger Than Most
play

09/21/22 • 82 min

Let’s talk about William “Big Bill” Dudley Haywood!

Standing at 6 feet tall and weighing well over 200 pounds, Big Bill was truly larger than life as he battled mining trusts, corporations, private armies, and government forces alike. He fought them with his agile mind, his calloused knuckles, and probably most importantly he damaged them with his words.

He, along with Mother Jones and Eugene Debs, dominated the labor movement of the late 19th to the mid 20th centuries in a way that is still felt even today.

Some activists may have been smarter in one way or another, some more well read in theory, and others more effective at maneuvering, but none left as indelible a mark on the country as these three.

And Big Bill? Well, he left a mark on the world unlike any other...

The Warrior Met corporation and the state worked together to snuff out a righteous workers strike in Alabama and the media failed the workers just as badly, myself included.

Join me as we discuss why and how this happened.

Stochastic Terrorism

noun

1. The public demonization of a person or group resulting in the incitement of a violent act, which is statistically probable but whose specifics cannot be predicted.

Join me for a discussion of rhetoric, demagogues, power wielders, and the probable but unpredictable terror which they are able to unleash on the world at large through their very loud, very frequent demonization of minorities and the oppressed.

A white supremacist murdered multiple people in Buffalo, NY, driven to murder by, at least in part, the so-called Great Replacement conspiracy theory which is extremely popular amongst racists, nazis, white supremacists all across the globe, and the alt-right in the United States.

This racist theory has been trumpeted all across the media, but nowhere more loudly than FOX News, and its most popular host, Tucker Carlson.

Join me as we suss out how, why, and where these theories are spread and how they connect to the idea of othering and white supremacy.

Let's talk about the rhetoric surrounding how we dehumanize and other the unhoused of this country and turn them from neighbors into existential enemies with our words.

"You cannot truly help those that you do not Respect.

Pity is not respect, victimization is not respect. Criminalizing mere existence and co-existence is not even close to respect.

And without respect we cannot move forward.

And if we continue to do nothing then these bodies which we step over, they will be our legacy."

Most workers in the United States and Canada are barely aware of the holiday known as May Day or International Workers Day.

Please stop by for a moderate length, yet still incomplete origin story and learn where it came from, what it means, and why we don;t celebrate it in the US and Canada!
