Hot Take: Should Leftists Convert Nazis?

Join me, Maggie Mae Fish (she/her), as I explore the history of labor in Hollywood and the House Un-American Activities Committee that led to blacklists. It’s all sadly relevant! From “woke” panic to “cultural marxism,” it’s all the same as the far-right teams up with literal gangsters to crush the working class.

The Marc Steiner Show: The white identity politics of Christian nationalism From the colonial period to now, the hallmarks of Christian nationalism—a white savior complex, hostility to democracy, appeals to selective authoritarian violence—have thoroughly shaped American politics.

“Most Americans were shocked by the violence they witnessed at the nation’s Capital on January 6th, 2021,” as the description of Philip S. Gorski and Samuel L. Perry’s new book, The Flag and the Cross, notes. “And many were bewildered by the images displayed by the insurrectionists: a wooden cross and wooden gallows; “Jesus saves” and “Don’t Tread on Me;” Christian flags and Confederate Flags; even a prayer in Jesus’ name after storming the Senate chamber. Where some saw a confusing jumble,” though, Gorski and Perry “saw a familiar ideology: white Christian nationalism.” In this episode of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with Gorski and Perry about their book, the white identity politics of Christian nationalism, and the deep political roots of today’s reactionary Christian right.

This video is an examination of the social housing of the city of vienna which eliminated homelessnes and made the city one of the most livable and cheapest places in the world.

Political cults are alive and well. We need to identify what they are and know their history so that we can avoid the pitfalls of cults and cult-like behaviour.

This video delves into the deep-seated, undemocratic nature of the American political system, its system of "checks and balances," the roles of the Supreme Court, the Senate, and Congress and how the separation of powers, far from being a virtue of US Democracy, is one of its most undemocratic features, as it limits political democracy to a propertied minority while foreclosing economic democracy for the propertyless majority. The video also critiques the naive views of social democrats and encourages people to envision alternative conceptions of genuine economic democracy.
