Episode 155: Dueling Fictions, Dueling Crises

Play Now!

We currently live through two plagues: one, CoVID-19; the other, vested interests pay not just to shove a plague of bad ideas at all of us, but also to keep good ideas as far away as possible. Hence, Episode 155: Dueling Fictions, Dueling Crises.

In this episode, I play Jeanine Jackson from Counterspin talking about The People's Bailout, and the corporate media's all-but-nonexistent coverage of it. Musically, I play: Jupiter Makes Me Scream doing "Dive Into"; and Podington Bear doing "Submerging Blue-Black". KMFDM backs Dmitri Orlov in the opening; and I close with Mistle Thrush.

      For Karl, alas,
      That braying Ass
      With talk of Class
      And hope of Mass
      Solution…

      Earns but a Sneer
      A Side-eyed Leer
      And maybe Jeer
      With talk of Sheer
      Revolution.

      A guy at work put it best: Marx had some of the best observations, backed by the wackiest proposed fixes. George, on the other hand, did it right the first time.
