But even segments of the self-described Left, especially social democrats in New Politics magazine, have been attacking the Diaz-Canel government, supporting the protests in Cuba, and dismissing the larger political-cum-power issues at play in this episode.

Woke Up This Morning, Got Myself a Podcast!
Madison Lynn (@dickexpert) and John Palmucci (@gabagoolmarx) of the new “Fresh Kills” podcast (@freshkillspod), which features “garbage takes by garbage guidos,” joined us to talk about their new entry into social media, their takes on left politics and cancel culture, among other issues, and whether New Jersey or Youngstown Italians drop more “F Bombs.”

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.
Green and Red Podcast had a great conversation with Professor Richard Wolff about economic theories, the vital role of the government in subsidizing and supporting corporations and banks, China’s economic strength, how the Federal Reserve creates money for people who already have great wealth, growing inequality, and the continued importance of Karl Marx.

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.
