The left needs to abandon this neoliberal marketization of sex. It's fucking insane we've turned prostitution into "it's just like flipping burgers". Forcing women(because we all know it's practically just women) to fuck for money isn't "workers rights". You are not helping these people by leaving them to the free market. Disgusting fake left bullshit and I'm sick of it. The sex industry is like the number one driver of misogyny but hey people have a right to be forced to fuck for money. Totally cool and progressive guys 👍. No shit criminalisation isn't the solution but don't pretend that's what abolitionists this.

Thank you, especially, Keeanga, for speaking directly to those of us who are facing tremendous insecurity with no real support. I’m grateful for all of you here. These are frightening times…I’m 74 and have trouble absorbing how far this country has fallen since my generation falsely thought that we had changed the world for the better. I grew up in a household that worshipped Roosevelt. We need the kind of movement that ushered him in, but maybe that means more suffering will precede any positive change. I’m so angry at establishment Democrats.

You people help to keep me sane. Thank you.

These comments are saddening. I guess the bots came quickly with "fascism" in the title

Girl please stop with the "ahm, uhm"

What a trash bag. I just watched your 10-08-24 arrest. Leaves 4 kids home alone to go to the mayors event. Driving w no tabs w a warrant. She is the mayor's advisor 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 people wonder why Chicago is a failure here's part of the reason. But you get what you vote for. Calls in to get favorable privileged from boss. Pure trash .... you would never get these privileges... She was let loose w no charges and warrant dismissed goodwin is trash

The room isn't even halfway filled. Good to see people don't buy into this victim-mentality cult 😂

Nothing but narrow sightedness actually stopping the DNC leadership from being accountable then immediately shifting strategic culture from Erudite to Realpolitik. Leaders learning into messages of liberal idealism "seem" elitist, detached and unserious so keep the egalitarian values but shift to realism with economic equity as the north star.

We didn't lose. The Democrats did and that has fuck all to do with the left. If you don't abandon the that disgraceful bourgeois party then you are for assimilation not progress. Stop supporting the dems FFS! The left needs to organise with the left not with fucking shitlibs who enable fascism, crisis and spit on the left every chance they get. Until the left get over this Stockholm syndrome we are truly fucked.

In regard to the actual history, not the imaginary biblical stories which the zionists use to legitimize their military occupation in Palestine, Tel Aviv University Professor of Archaeology Ze’ev Herzog summed up the major archaeological findings of 70 years of intensive excavations in Palestine with the following: "The patriarchs’ acts are legendary, the Israelites did not sojourn in Egypt or make an exodus, they did not conquer the land. Neither is there any mention of the empire of David and Solomon, nor of the source of belief in the God of Israel. These facts have been known for years, but Israel is a stubborn people and nobody wants to hear about it." - Ha’aretz Magazine, Friday, October 29, 1999.

We are not here because we are free, we are here because we are not free

It was not just protect me and mine Naomi. It was also people standing up against genocide, to try to push Harris against genocide. To make it work they would have had to have support from all of the left. They didn't.

We gotta work to... get the party that was leading a genocide into power again? The democrats won, you don't want to be in power during a genocide. There is no winning unless you plan to end it, which they were definitely not.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Can relate most to Keeana Taylor's comments. There definitely was some blindness and denial going on with the Dem strategy.

This is what we need to bring back as a people! RIP Fred Hampton the revolution hasn’t died

Great conversation and dialogue! 👏🏾👏🏾

End socialism forever.

Thank you for this essential conversation!

God I love Yanis. Truly one of a scant few voices of reason in our era. If someone like him has been running in the place of right-wing (at very least right-capitulating) neoliberals like Harris & Biden, what a different place our country would be in; I genuinely don’t think Trump would’ve won. They presumably would’ve gotten MORE votes than the already highly unpopular conservative Dem Biden, rather than 15 million fewer than that already shaky baseline.

We grow the world together, yes!

Interesting, now people need to realize first how Social Democracy empowers the Far Right in an endless cicle of deception, specially from European "Democracy". Otherwise, it is not possible for the Western Society until they lost everything.

Michael Jordan came from a poor family. He is now worth $2 billion, and does nothing to even criticize "the system," much less change it. He makes tens of millions of dollars to represent Nike, with no concern for how they exploit workers. How does someone like him fit into your analysis?

Love To Fred, R.I.P. 👊🏾

oxymoron, communism is inherently lgbt

oxymoron, communism is anti-lgbt

I checked this book out and started reading it yesterday. I was looking for information on a book visit in Washington or Virginia. Is that coming to a bookstore near me??? I would love to hear Mr. Wideman speak in person.

May this note find us all ever closer to God, and His Peace. And although Zionist genocide-supporting Trump that will mostly be controlled by those who consider us all Palestinians to take from & murder - when possible - he was clearly the lesser-of-two-evils, and perhaps we might consider who rules the controlled the Office of Presidency (while Biden was unable,) and who Picked those two bad choices we were forced to choose from? .. .. are they same or connected to those corporation owners and controllers of Media-Web-Gov? Or the needless existing secretly owned private corporation (Federal Reserve) that profit more the greater our National Debt (this year they 'earned' $1 Billion in interest) or those Zionists supporting to ADL controlled Puppets in Gov, Courts, .. all powerful departments in Fed & State, all corporations (through BlackRock & Other VC corp.s that Threaten with corp. Credit Scores that increase when fewer white Christian-founded men employed as part of the Genocidal program we suffer under), or to other nations and groups of powerful families? Can the Federal Reserve 'call in' that debt to cause bankruptcy, and then liquidate all public lands, resource, .. to the paying off that National Debt? (Inquiring minds want to know.) . God Bless., Steve

I'm 3 days late! How did I again miss a great Haymarket discussion? I'm going to double down on my vigilance to catch these when they're being released. These are what we need right now. I'm on the Haymarket site once again trying to narrow down what books I most need right now. Whew! ETA: This is a great host (and guests!) right here. Doing the valuable social labour. Making that effort to listen to each speaker and making space to briefly personally respond before transferring to next speaker (or starting their own contribution). Sets a communal tone. So many hosts I've seen are distracted and just abruptly practically shout NEXT! after a speaker finishes.

Very well said.

Rest in power, Fred. We need his legacy and lessons more than ever.

My two powerful teachers. Powerful. Thank you both and thank the facilitator.

Please protect me from scary words unGodly one ⛓️

Any religion or culture that leans on one gender to wear something to help other refrain from admiration, etc. is immoral.

I often have heard really hard leftists sneering at other lefts who don't know what they know, have the sources they do, etc. That's no good.

Why did Raja claim the first speaker was difficult to follow??

I hope you understand that I'm commenting for the algorithm. Everything you've said makes sense to me. I have no questions.

Anyway it's been unbearably distressing recently. I'm hoping to move to Pennsylvania because it's a train ride to D.C.

I fought the system so hard on FB that I'm permanently shadow banned there.

The minimum wage is a policy that the Democrats implement in order to ameliorate the masses, no Marxist should push for raising the minimum wage. Marxists should be pushing for a Maximum wage. Cap the maximum wage to 100X the lowest paid employee in the company and watch how wages climb. If an executive's compensation exceeds 100X the lowest paid employee in their company then all surplus above that cap is immediately taxed at 100% and goes to fund programs such as education and health care.

Angela, Prentis, and Lama Rod's conversation starts at 50:36

🙏🙏🙏

I missed this one! When did this sneak into the lineup? Well, thank you. Great points. Upshot being what I have long believed as well, that nothing but a real grassroots mass movement acting concertedly and cleverly and deeply can do anything. We don't have nearly the infrastructure of outreach, inclusion, education, listening, healing, nourishing and collective uplift that we need to have in place. Certainly no one has reached out to little me in any way. HA. And I haven't done as much as I can do. We need to dig deep and sort our reasons for this. They come from without and within. Side note: Yes, Jewish community has placed itself outsizedly importantly in society at key levers of cultural, political and fiscal influence. Important to acknowledge this to understand society. Just as any other factor that is a force in our culture.

Thank you all so very much! Here's another resource: "The Endless PRACTICE: Becoming Who You Were Born to Be: by Mark Nepo

While Palestinian babies are still being shredded, Angela talks revolution but supported Kamala Harris the Genocider. Does Angela think her Palestinian friends would have been able to do the same? Davis also mentors Pretendian Maylei Blackwell who has lied about her ancestry TWICE, first claiming to be a Chicana academic and then caliming to be Cherokee. Blacvkwell is Davis' Little Frankestein. Where was Angela's feminist solidarity bla bla bla when Victoria Mercado was blocked from being on the Central Commitee of the CP for being queer. Angela zipped her lip. Owens speaks to the Harvard Business School about Liberation and Rage (!!) Disgusting contradictions. THE PALESTINIANS CANNOT REST OR Go to PILATES!!! ❤🇵🇸♥️🇱🇧♥️

Angela Davis has fallen so low.

Stop wasting money on this shit.

What the fuck is this Mcmindfullmess shit. This is fucking insulting.

❤

I think all of faces in this video now having a nice life in pokand or uk and let their man dying in country
