I was sleeping on this podcast till now because I'm lazy. But yesterday I decided to go through the episodes/clips on YouTube and wow they are good! I've no idea how they manage to get so many awesome guests - Richard Wolff, Zizek, Chomsky, then you've got Nina Turner and Cornel West, there's Boots Riley, it's just incredible. And all of them are so honest and upfront and open when talking. I've never seen Wolff this animated and lively when talking to someone else or even on his own show! It's incredible.
EDIT - What the fuck happened in the comments?
I think analyzing lib electoralism stuff is good though. I think it's an important part in analyzing & understanding power and I think they do a decent job at it.
That said, I do also agree with you - it's very clear that Brie doesn't understand the role of labor in the labor movement. It's more like "yeah well of course we need labor """organizing""" but only in order to get votes for x," which is putting the cart before the horse. It's very unsatisfying for a podcaster to say "well actually before any of this we need a stronger labor movement" because it sounds like a lib cop out even if it's correct analysis. I think this is what led to FTV hysteria, even if Brie's correct that voting for Nancy is dumb.
