FWIW I stopped listening to the weekends show after they failed to cover the Indian strikes in real time. They are anticommunist. Jacobin prints some good stuff, but don't expect calls for revolution or any support for existing communist states.
The ironic thing is that I'm 100% sure that Michael would have done a stream about it on his own channel like the day he heard about it. He even had people like Vijay Prashad (a communist and tbh one of the smartest people out there) on his show. He'll be missed.... RIP. And without him then yeah, I can see Ana getting stuck in that anti-communist Jacobin bubble.
I'm 100% sure they covered it. I can link it later, but now I'm sleepy.
go easy on jacobin magazine, it's a collection of writers coming from all sorts of perspectives. it's got lots of liberals, but also tons of radicals who hide their true goals in the name of persuading folks in the middle. earnest liberals like kasparian will likely become more radicalized as time goes on.

Tbh I stopped listening after Brooks died, though from time to time I'll tune in. But damn... they didn't cover the Indian strikes?
Yep. They got a chat question about it at the end of the show and just kind of babbled awkwardly until there was something else to latch onto.
