9/9/26: Wild Socialist Conference Goes Off The Rails, New Doc Exposes Caribbean Boat Strikes
Summary
This episode examines the viral "Socialism 2026" conference, arguing that its extreme rhetoric stems from a CIA-funded "compatible left" that prioritizes identity politics over class solidarity. The hosts contrast this academic, philanthropy-backed movement with genuine worker organizing, such as Zohran Mamdani’s new office for worker power.
