We’ve done a lot in the 17 months (to the day) since we launched Green and Red. The themes of our scrappy little show include lifting up movement organizing and direct action; critiques of corporate liberalism and reformist politics, the far right & the status quo; sharing people’s history; poking at the sacred cows of the “left” (NGO industrial complex, Brooklyn hipster socialism, Democratic hacks like Pelosi, Schumer, Obomber and Biden); and doing it with humor, wit and a few laughs at our own expense.

Anti-Capitalist A.F. Music and politics ft. Adam Sherburne of Consolidated

Posted inUncategorized

Our favorite music is that music that gets in your face, flips over tables and fights those in power.

Consolidated was a band that did that very thing. Since their formation in the late 80s, they’ve used music to speak out on corporate greed, fascism, homophobia, and animal rights. Now they are returning to the music scene with more of the anti-capitalist fascist-fighting same.
