Ep. 171: Barney Rubble of Empire
May 22, 2020 11:16 - 1 hour - 90.1 MBSince this bullshit society we live in is very clearly heading toward collapse, we must ask ourselves: what comes next? This week we look at Jamie Dimon's conversion to kind and compassionate boy who very much cares, the rethinking of GDP logic, and all of the industries set to implode in the wake of the coming economic depression and talking through how socialists can rebuild with public enterprises and worker-owned cooperatives.

Ep. 170: Thin Poo Line
May 15, 2020 11:53 - 1 hour - 97.1 MBThis week we’re discussing power and stupidity.

Ep. 168: Big May Day Energy
May 01, 2020 11:19 - 58 minutes - 84.2 MBThe Pentagon confirmed the existence of UFOs and there's one thing on everyone's mind: WE'RE GOING ON STRIKE. Not against aliens--if you get to that level of advancement, your society has probably become communist, the aliens are probably cool. We're striking against the ghouls and demons that run our hellworld, the Bezoses, the Waltons, the Musks, and the Trumps. We're going on strike this May Day, and as we do we should understand where "May Day" comes from and what lessons we can take fr...
Ep. 167: VENI, COVIDI, VICI
April 24, 2020 11:33 - 1 hour - 97.8 MBMarkets are collapsing. Faith in political institutions is in free fall. The empire is coming to an end folks. The contradictions are so stark that it is irritating. And in this unique historical moment, the choice you are given is between a senile bigotted rapist and a senile bigotted rapist.

Ep. 166: The Bosses Are The Virus (Ft. Connor Lewis & Grace Reckers)
April 17, 2020 11:40 - 55 minutes - 76.1 MBAs the contradictory structures of capitalism continue to collapse, one countervailing structure, in particular, gaining a lot of energy: the labor union. There's some speculation that all of the misery caused being heaped on workers--from job insecurity to the lack of paid sick time to the unwillingness to provide personal protective equipment--could lead to a new wave of organizing. We spoke with two union organizers about what their analysis of the current moment and what it means for wo...
Ep. 165: Tenant Revolt (Ft. Tara Raghuveer, Tracy Jeanne Rosenthal, & Rudy)
April 10, 2020 18:44 - 88.1 MBWe've got a brand new, big ol' podcast for you packed to the brim with tenant organizers from across the United States. We're joined by Tara Raghuveer from the KC Tenants Union, who also serves as the coordinator for the Homes Guarantee campaign at People's Action. Learn more about KC Tenants Union here: https://kctenants.org/ Check out the amazing Homes Guarantee platform here: https://peoplesaction.org/2019/09/breaking-peoples-action-unveils-plan-to-win-a-national-homes-guarantee/ From ...
Ep. 164: April Ghouls (Ft. Seth Duckbody & Clint Beastwood)
April 03, 2020 11:21 - 31 minutes - 45.8 MBHey there patriots, we're back on the grind this week with all the news and ideological bullshit that you need to navigate the encroaching socialist hell hole. Things are going great right now--don't let the Marxist media fool you. This week we're talking about unions (and how they're a vehicle for COMMUNISM), 3d printed medical equipment (and how they're a devious plot of COMMUNISM), socialized medicine (COMMUNISM), and the new ways that the state is dolling out bootstrap entrepreneurial op...
Ep. 163: Death Cult Capitalsim
March 27, 2020 11:49 - 1 hour - 102 MBIT'S LIKE THE TROLLEY PROBLEM. On one track, up to 2 million meemaws and peepops have been tied down on one side of the track and the NASDAQ is tied to the other. There is now a debate among (unfortunately) the most powerful people track the runaway choo choo of modern capitalism will savage. We're at a crucial juncture (not in a train track, but in history) where mass mobilization, resistance, and refusal can have tremendous impacts on the system. Or we could have fascism... Fingers cross...
Ep. 162: Chandler in the High Castle
March 20, 2020 10:48 - 1 hour - 93.1 MBThe timeline, it is dark. The Republicans under the Trump administration are literally abandoning capitalism--at least temporarily--while the Democrats are wringing their hands about means-testing. Meanwhile, the Trump administration's failure to take the Coronavirus seriously has resulted in an economic crisis that may perhaps blossom into an event on par with the Great Depression. The pandemic and the domino effect of consequences, however, is revealing a wide array of contradictions in ...
Ep. 161: Polemics & Pandemics
March 13, 2020 11:45 - 1 hour - 126 MBIn the wake of some shitty primary results, we talk through the problems of electoral politics. Under current material conditions, is electoral organizing a red herring for more valuable working-class organizing? While Bernie ain't out yet, his difficult path ahead begs the questions: ought we vote for Joe Biden? How do we kill the Democratic Party? Also, there's a damn plague on the loose, so... wash those hands! We talk about the Coronavirus in the second half of the show and all the ways...
**Unlocked** Interview with Kickstarter United (Ft. Oriana Leckert)
March 09, 2020 10:11 - 36 minutes - 51.8 MB**This episode was released to Patreon subscribers on March 2. Support Future Left on Patreon for as little as $1 a month and get access to any bonus content going forward.** We sat down with Oriana Leckert, a representative of Kickstarter United. The new union at Kickstarter has generated a lot of excitement as it is often cited as the first union within the tech industry--and a sign of things to come. We talk about the nazi-punching origins of their union, the issues that drove them tow...
Ep. 160: The Empire Strikes Back (Ft. Benjamin Dixon)
March 06, 2020 11:12 - 33 minutes - 48.3 MBOof. Super Tuesday, unfortunately, did not go our way. Bernie Sanders--now the remaining progressive candidate in the Democrats' 2020 contest--is slightly down, but decidedly not out. We're looking at the Democratic field to figure out what went wrong, and why writing obituaries for 2020's left prospects is premature. Who better join us for such a conversation, than Benjamin Dixon. Host of the Benjamin Dixon show, Ben recently gave the billionaire class a headache when he unearthed audio o...
Ep. 159: Texas Reds (Ft. Kristian Hernandez, Ashkan Jahangiri, & Bo Schuh)
February 28, 2020 10:00 - 58 minutes - 82.4 MBWe've got great big Texas-sized episode this week, featuring a dream team of Texas leftists. We've got Kristian Hernandez, who often organizes with DSA North Texas and currently serves on DSA's National Political Committee, Ashkan Jahangiri, organizing with Austin DSA, and Bo Schuh, one of the cohosts of Psychic Dolphin Garage. We're talking about how the big man, Bernie Sanders, is on his way to winning the state of Texas in the upcoming Democratic Primary on Super Tuesday. Bearing in mind...
Ep. 158: Mike & Don's Bourgeois Journey
February 21, 2020 11:17 - 1 hour - 94.7 MBHaving trouble at work? Need higher pay? Is your supervisor Greg, literally, sniffing you when you come to work? Of all the solutions in the world, isn't your first instinct to Ask A Boss? Well, no, of course, it isn't. That would be a terrible idea, and you'd probably get bad advice. But anyway that's the premise of a New York magazine advice column. We're also talking about Jeff Bezos and his ever-expanding empire of fuckery and the spectre looming over us all, and I don't mean communism ...
Ep. 157: Rootin' Tootin' Texas Union (Ft. Mia Ibarra & Amanda Posson)
February 14, 2020 11:00 - 47 minutes - 68.8 MBThis week we're joined by two workers that recently helped win recognition for their union in the Lone Star State. Mia Ibarra and Amanda Posson are joining us to tell us about CPPP United, affiliated with the Nonprofit Professional Employees Union (IFPTE Local 70) that represents workers at the Austin-based Center for Public Policy Priorities. We talk about some of the contradictions of trying to counter neoliberalism from within the "nonprofit industrial complex" and how unions can play a...
Ep. 156: The One
February 06, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 93.8 MBThe knives are out! After the shit show at the Iowa fuck factory, which as of the time of this posting WE STILL DON’T HAVE FINAL RESULTS, many people are saying the Democratic National Committee cannot be saved. Adam and Casey debate the merits of Bernie or Busting. As the political philosopher Ray Paker, Jr. once said, “Busting makes me feel good.” Then we start going through all of the bullshit that the vast array of nonsense that the enemies of the Bern have mustered lately. We look at m...
Ep. 155: This One Is About Surveillance
January 31, 2020 11:30 - 1 hour - 92.8 MBThe bosses want to measure productivity starting at your heart rate. And the vice principals (aka school bosses) want to start indoctrinating future workers as early as possible. The result is a world working people are constantly measured, weighed, and observed, even when they are off the clock. We also talk about recent events like the Joe Rogan endorsement and the very marketable demise of Mr. Peanut. If you enjoyed this podcast, please consider giving to us on Patreon: www.patreon.c...
Ep. 154: The Means to Seize the Means
January 24, 2020 11:39 - 1 hour - 90.6 MBIf you're listening to this, you probably already think socialism is neat. Sure, many people are saying "worker control of industry," but how do we get there? What are the pathways for changing ownership structures and for creating new structures that are fit for socialism? We talk through a few potential avenues--expanding bargaining rights for labor unions, democratically owned and controlled banks, the possibilities and limitations of trustbusting, etc--but we're hoping this conversation ...
Ep. 153: The Church of Latter-Day Capitalism
January 17, 2020 11:58 - 50 minutes - 75 MBSo many takes and so little time. 2020 continues to be aggressively stupid, the biggest story of the week is the implosion of the Bernard-Elizabeth alliance—and let me tell you friends, Elizabeth Warren is officially canceled. In other news, we talk about the implications of robot priests, robot pizza makers, the cruel media portrayals of “criminals” that have the audacity to steal food and a place to sleep. We also do some Randy “Macho Man” Savage impressions All that and more on Future L...
Ep. 152: Hindsight is... Really Easy
January 10, 2020 13:29 - 1 hour - 144 MBThis week we are looking back and looking forward. We review some "highlights" from the 2010s. (Spoiler: this decade sucked.) Then we look at how well 2020 is shaping up, with a continent on fire and the US on the brink of yet another very wise and necessary war with zero chance of blowback. (The previous sentence was subtly sarcastic.) And then, for no good reason, we discuss Star Wars. It's at the end, so if you hate that we talked about Star Wars, just turn it off comrade! Specifically, ...
Ep. 151: Control + Alt + Delete (Ft. Ben Tarnoff)
December 27, 2019 12:46 - 47 minutes - 110 MBProperty. What is to be done with it--specifically, the so-called platforms that Big Tech uses to surveil and exploit working people? We spoke with Ben Tarnoff, founder of Logic Magazine, about the subject which he explored in a recent blog post "Platforms Don't Exist." https://bentarnoff.substack.com/p/platforms-dont-exist We decided to play a fun game which you can play along with at home! We'll name a platform, like Twitter, Task Rabbit, or Arby's, and you tell us if you think it should...
Ep. 150: Taking on the 'Zon (Ft. Dania Rajendra)
December 13, 2019 12:38 - 33 minutes - 75.8 MBJoining us this week is Dania Rajendra, the director of Athena, a new grassroots network of 40+ organizations aiming to confront Amazon’s harmful effects in our economy, our communities, and our future. Our wide-ranging discussion goes through some of the primary criticisms that working people have against Amazon—harmful environmental effects and inhumane and unsafe working conditions—and what people think needs to be done to address these issues. You should DEFINITELY learn more about Ath...
Ep. 149: Dems & Tech Policy
December 06, 2019 12:38 - 1 hour - 143 MBVox did a good one and posted a very informative Q&A with several Democrats seeking the party's nomination for President of the United States, including the one, the only Michael Bennett. We discuss the candidates' positions on automation, to break up or not to break up big tech, facial recognition, and their answer to a free wheeling questions "What's the biggest issue in Big Tech?" It's a good one! Check out the full Vox forum here: https://www.vox.com/recode/2019/12/3/20963601/tech-20...
Ep. 148: If Only Amazon Workers Could Feel Pain
December 02, 2019 11:51 - 50 minutes - 116 MBSorry for the delay! Holidays and that... A new report reveals that the rate of serious injuries in Amazon warehouses are seriously high. Enough so, that something that you should probably think about before you place your next order--will this be the package that breaks a worker's back? Working beside robots, it turns out, doesn't displace labor so much as it puts it grave physical danger. We also look at the latest robot rhetoric from Presidential Candidate Andrew Yang as well as an Op...
Ep. 147: The Pete Mystique
November 22, 2019 12:34 - 1 hour - 146 MBBOOT. EDGE. EDGE. It’s the three words on everyone’s lips that is secretly one last name of young white man from Indiana with mediocre ideas and virtually no experience. Pete has made it to first place in Iowa polls which means that everyone has to talk about him. For all of the leftists podcasters, it means we all have to shit on him. We try to walk through everything you (unfortunately) need to know about Pete aside from your natural instinct that this RHODES SCHOLAR from the MCKINSEY INST...
Ep. 146: Billion Dollar Brains
November 15, 2019 12:42 - 58 minutes - 133 MBWhat is the difference between you and a billionaire? If you answered anything other than "DEEP THOUGHTS," then you might be suffering from the mindset of a taker rather than a maker. Billionaires are CREATIVE. And they KEEP GOOD COMPANY. And they DO THE DISHES IMMEDIATELY RATHER THAN LETTING THEM "SOAK OVERNIGHT." That is the only difference between you and Jeff Bezos. Other than of course, the billions and billions of dollars that he has... This week we're looking at the bizarre ways tha...
Ep. 145: Shmuckerberg
November 08, 2019 23:46 - 49 minutes - 113 MBSorry this episode is out late! Things will (hopefully) be less hectic next week, now that Adam is done moving. He will aslo soon stop being an asshole and mail our Patrons the Future Left swag that they are owed. This episode is all about the bastards of Big Tech and a certain boy genius in particular. If you're able, consider supporting us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/futureleft
Ep. 144: RIPG&E (Ft. Johanna Bozuwa)
October 31, 2019 11:14 - 1 hour - 142 MBCalifornia is on fire, which is not uncommon, and the dominant energy company in the state, PG&E, is making things worse, which is also not uncommon. Most people that have to interact with PG&E despise PG&E, the investor-owned utility that has been disinvesting California's energy infrastructure while failing to divest from fossil fuels. When it comes to vesting, these guys are doing it all wrong. We're joined (again) by Johanna Bozuwa, an environmental justice activist and co-manager of t...
Ep. 143: Everybody Watches You Poop
October 25, 2019 12:56 - 46 minutes - 106 MBThis week we're talking about the highest of tech surveillance and what that means for freedom from the state and freedom from the bosses. (Spoiler: it's not great.) If you enjoy this episode (and we hope you do!), consider giving to Future Left at https://www.patreon.com/futureleft
Ep. 142: Hank's White Bullshit
October 18, 2019 14:31 - 58 minutes - 84.7 MBThis week we're talking about some curated pieces of white bullshit. From defenses of "Columbus Day" to endorsements for Pete Buttigieg. Sorry this description sucks we are busy and life is pain. Hope you enjoy this podcast tho! If you enjoyed this episode, consider giving us a buck or two on Patreon: www.patreon.com/futureleft.
Ep. 141: Shock & Surprise
October 11, 2019 10:50 - 1 hour - 141 MBWe're catching up on some "breaking news" this week after a few weeks of interviews... And by "breaking news" we mean all the stories that shock and surprise us that is totally obvious and unsurprising. Big tech giants are targeting the most marginalized and vulnerable people in order to enhance their algorithms. The IRS is targeting the most marginalized and vulnerable people because targeting the powerful is just too hard. And the government is thrilled about smart home technologies becau...
140: Laying Down the Labor Law (W/ Jeremy Gong & C. M. Lewis)
October 04, 2019 13:06 - 1 hour - 152 MBThis week we're talking about labor law, an institution in many ways built for the bosses. But there is a lot of movement recently in this field. The recent AB5 victory in California--addressing the misclassification of employees as "independent contractors"--could potentially be just the beginning as Bernie Sanders and more recently (as in post-recording this episode...) Elizabeth Warren promulgate sweeping labor law reforms aimed helping working people and strengthening America's unions. ...
Ep. 139: Rolling Back Price Signals (W/ Leigh Phillips & Michal Rozworski)
September 27, 2019 11:21 - 59 minutes - 87.8 MBYou know how under a "free market" system, there is no planning at at all and the magic of supply and demand just kind of make things happen? Yeah, that's not how it works. Economic planning happens everywhere in our economy at the level of the state as well as the level of the firm--with some firms, like Amazon or WalMart, being larger than some states! The real question is what is the scope of planning and who is allowed to do it. Right now, independent rich weirdos do a lot of the economi...
Ep. 138: Ecosocialism Or Eco-Barbarism (Ft. Sean Estelle & Natasha Lennard)
September 20, 2019 10:03 - 58 minutes - 133 MBThere is no greater set of challenges for humanity in the 21st century than those posed by climate change. But the solutions to those challenges seem to be coalescing around two pathways int he popular conscience. There are people that believe that climate change is a systemic issue, and thus there are some key systemic changes that must be a part of the response, like--and, I don't know, I'm just spit balling here--publicly-owned utilities that are operated without regard for profit and gro...
Ep. 137. Hot Boys Summer
September 14, 2019 02:03 - 1 hour - 145 MBThis week we're talking about the new Amazon series "The Boys" based on the Garth Ennis comic from the 00s. It's a romp featuring superheroes equally corrupted by capitalism and toxic masculinity. It's an enjoyable take on the superhero genre that lefties will find a lot in that they enjoy. That being said--it's made by Amazon. It aint exactly Capital Vol. 4. If you enjoyed this episode, consider giving us a buck or two on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/futureleft. If you can't do that,...
Ep. 136: Writers Guild Beast (Ft. Kim Kelly & Alex Kirshner)
August 30, 2019 11:31 - 53 minutes - 77.6 MBFrom organizing, to bargaining, to fighting to win! This week we're speaking with two members of Writers Guild of America East (WGAE) about labor organizing in the digital media industry. Kim Kelly, formerly of VICE Media's union and current member of the WGAE's Guild Council, is joined by Alex Kirshner of Vox Media Union's bargaining committee fresh off their victory for a new contract. If you work at a digital media company and are interested in organizing your workplace, check out WGAE a...
135: Lobsters, Labor, & Lies
August 23, 2019 10:27 - 49 minutes - 112 MBAmazon is paying people to assert their fulfillment centers are NOT dystopic workspaces. Some dumb ass with a sports website is breaking US labor law. And Ben Carson doesn't understand why people criticize "opportunity zones" for making the rich richer (reminder: he's the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development...). Also a very special guest--none other than JORDAN PETERSON. ***Please consider supporting Future Left podcast at https://www.patreon.com/futureleft. If you donate $1 by Augu...
Ep. 134: Serial Illusionists
August 16, 2019 10:23 - 1 hour - 93.9 MBThe world is getting wild as hell. Jeffrey Epstein will never get to make his super race of Epstein-gened people at his gross private island because he is dead, due to "suicide." Amazon wants to sell you a Ring camera to put on your door so you can be a snitch for the cops. There is an absolutely bizarre list of 100 future jobs. And also a lot of men refuse to reduce, reuse, and recycle because they're concerned people will think they're gay. **ICYMI: We have new Patreon rewards including s...
Ep. 133: Disarming & Destroying White Supremacy
August 09, 2019 09:07 - 59 minutes - 135 MBAnother day in America means another day of white supremacist violence. If we aim to dismantle this system of racialized violence, what is the proper response? What does it mean to be anti-fascist at this particular historical moment? These are some of the questions that we're wrestling with this week as we think through the recent killings in El Paso, TX and Dayton, Ohio. Full solidarity with the victims, their communities, and all those living with and resisting these systems of oppressi...
Ep. 132: This Is Your Brain On Musk
August 02, 2019 10:53 - 54 minutes - 59.4 MBElon Musk wants to drill a whole in your head and jack your shit into the matrix. This will definitely kill you, but after watching the recent Democratic Debates, we must ask--would a relatively quick death at the hands of an eccentric man-child be preferable to living a long and life with the memory of John Delaney. But it isn't just Musk that wants to plug you into a computer--Facebook, a cadre of another benevolent group of rich brain enthusiasts also want to access to that sweet sweet g...
Ep. 131: Thou Shalt Organize
July 26, 2019 13:22 - 1 hour - 82.4 MBWE. ARE. BACK. After a long vacation, we have a lot to catch up on! Fascists are on the move and workers around the country are mobilizing to undermine them. We've also got just a doozy of an article that details how socialism violates the Ten Commandents. Obviously, we set aside some time to celebrate every last one. ALSO: Future Left has some swag that we'll be putting on our Patreon. Soon, a monthly $3 committment will get you a sticker, and a $5 commitment will get you a sticker AND a...
Ep. 130: Building Tenant Power (W/ Allison Hrabar)
June 28, 2019 09:30 - 49 minutes - 73.4 MBLandlords. Nobody likes 'em. We've recently had a run of episodes talking to folks organizing workers in their workplace. This week we're talking to an organizer that aims to build power among tenants in their homes. Allison Hrabar, an Metro DC DSA organizer with Stomp Out Slumlords, talks about efforts to empower tenants facing eviction, organize them together in their buildings, and connect these efforts into a city-wide tenants' union in Washington, DC. You can learn more about Stomp Out...
Ep. 129: Reformist or Non-Reformist?
June 21, 2019 09:10 - 1 hour - 106 MBThis week we're talking about a framework for evaluating proposals for political change within a framework of reactionary, reformist, non-reformist, and revolutionary. When capitalism is immiserating the poor, how should we describe evergreen suggestion that the solution is investment in education? When capitalism fills the planet's oceans with plastic, how should we describe the proposal to write embarrassing text on plastic bags? Check out more of Future Left at www.futureleft.org, and if...
Ep. 128: Capitalist Nihilism
June 14, 2019 09:55 - 52 minutes - 78.7 MBCapitalism is a Rube Goldberg Machine that's purpose is human misery. This week we explore the latest failures of a system whose logic produces hand-wringing over lost profits in the face of environmental annihilation, a majority of human beings that are deeply exploited by and alienated from one another, and also--Xbox Body Wash. Please consider making a contribution to Future Left of Patreon: www.patreon.com/futureleft All episodes available at: futureleft.org/
127: Anti-Systemic Dildo Thief Praxis
June 07, 2019 10:26 - 1 hour - 154 MBDo you feel like a nearly irrelevant component to a monstrous system that you have no control over nor any interest in sustaining? Consider becoming a more rebellious cog in the machine by stealing! Or you could seize power with your comrades by turning that machine into a worker-owned cooperative... Because that's Comrade Bernard's proposal, and that proposal slaps. We also discuss other odious parts of the machine including: FREEDOM GAS, drugs that can keep babies alive but cost literall...
Ep. 126: No Profit, No Problem (Ft. Kayla Blado & Michael Velarde)
May 31, 2019 10:16 - 1 hour - 85.7 MBThis week we sit down with two union organizers with experience organizing workers in the non-profit industry. Our guests include Kayla Blado, interim-President of the Non-Profit Professional Employees Union (IFPTE Local 70) and Michael Velarde, former union organizer at We Act for Environmental Justice affiliated with the National Organization of Legal Services Workers (UAW 2320). We cover a lot of ground from milkshakes to the false distinction between white collar workers and blue collar ...
Ep. 125: Euron Greyjoy Appreciation Podcast
May 24, 2019 10:16 - 52 minutes - 119 MBThis week we're jumping on the Game of Thrones bandwagon. As the series comes to a close we talk through some of the politics that the show grapples with--from the lack of a peasantry perspective to depictions of revolutionary violence--as well as issues like representation and, of course, just general complaining about the final season. Please consider contributing to Future Left on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/futureleft. Enjoy! Here's some of the articles we read about this recen...
Ep. 124: Sweeps Week
May 16, 2019 16:48 - 1 hour - 103 MBThis week Future Left has a grab bag of nonsense that we're talking through as we test a range of new segments which you might see more of in the future--or maybe none of, we're not Nostradamus. We're talking about how well capitalism allocates resources, how stupid capitalism makes people, how stupid the people are at the head of capitalist institutions, and how dangerous they are too. We hope you enjoy it. If you enjoy this podcast, considering giving become a patreon subscriber at https...
