Episode 5: Point of Personal Privilege!
Today, we explore Ramsin Canon’s article entitled Ultraliberalism: The Dominant Tendency of the American Left written on February 7, 2022 - considering with each other as to what it illuminates for us in a similar vein as Peter Camejo’s 1970 speech discussed in episode 4.

In reading and discussing Ramsin Canon’s article today we hope to achieve a great sense of appreciation and understanding about the landscape, currents, and ideologies on the left. As well a greater sense on how to navigate these differences so that we may inspire confidence and clarity in leftists already committed to the cause of winning for the working class. We hope to help listeners become more effective towards the goal of uniting advanced leftists to the common cause of liberating the working class. We see overwhelming unity and solidarity amongst all good faith advanced leftists, socialists, marxists etc as a critical condition to meet for moving forward a counter hegemony to the ruling class hegemony of liberalism, conservatism, and all other ideologies friendly or amenable to the status quo domination of the few over the many.
