Ep.6: Biden Year One OR Neoliberalism Strikes Back and Other News

In this episode hosts Andy and Lawrence do a deep dive into the first year of the Biden administration. We talk about the structural incentives that lead the Democrats to uphold capitalist interests over the people, the promises broken and kept, and how the mainstream media largely gives a pass to Biden's failings and fails to inform the public about the important historical context around congressional deadlock.

 

We also spend time looking at the real legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. as an anti-capitalist and radical historical figure, police brutality story emerging from Kansas, and spend some time on some other interesting updates.
