Workers' Lit

Today we’re joined by Greg Stoker, anti-imperialist activist, journalist, host of the Colonial Outcasts podcast, and independent candidate for U.S. House Texas District 31.

Greg talks to us about a range of topics such as his campaign, the role of veterans in liberation movements, Graham Platner’s whole deal, and the (possible?) end of the Iran War.

And keep an eye out for a new podcast project on women in the socialist movement from Lenore and Jen very soon!

We put out the call to Patreon, and Patreon answered! Patreon decided on today’s topic: Suzanne Collins’ 2003 middle grade fantasy novel, “Gregor the Overlander.”

This is Suzanne’s first novel, and she gets into themes about poverty, futurelessness, family, war, and changing diapers.

It’s cute! It’s good! You’ll like this one.

The American left has a LOT of work to do.

We’re joined in this episode by Black Red Guard, an organizer with the DSA, YouTuber, and that guy who made the excellent “cracker control” tweet you’ve probably seen.

BRG joins us for a vital conversation about the work ahead of any liberatory movement in the United States, how to build principled left unity, the American labor movement, the Iran war, and even the Knicks!

We’re talking about THE evangelical author once again. The man known as Jacksie, the drunken Inkling terror, the OG Christian furry, the most miserable convert in all of England. It’s C.S. Lewis!!

In this episode we learn how all adventures in Narnia began as we cover the 1955 prequel, “The Magician’s Nephew.” Lewis will answer questions you never asked such as: where did the lamp post and wardrobe COME FROM?

He has a hot evil woman that’s seven feet tall though, so he’s kind of cooking from time to time.

If you want to hear our Lewis bio, check out our episode on “The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe” from two years ago. Apologies for the audio, but it’s good.

We need your support! Go to www.patreon.com/workerslit and help us keep this show rolling. Every few bucks helps (and makes us very pleased indeed).

Nothing says “declining empire” like an all-out show of ruling class decadence!

In this episode Jen, Lenore, and Jacob discuss Trump’s increasingly wild vanity projects, Republican (and one very big and very dumb Democrat) attempts to defend them, and what it means to live in a country that couldn’t care less about its 250th birthday.

Also, shout out to RXKNephew for his John Fetterman song, from which we have added tasteful snippets where appropriate.
