Change is Made by People, Not Government - The Laura Flanders Show

Published on Sep 26, 2017

From taking power to making power. This week on The Laura Flanders Show, a special report from Athens, Greece where many are asking if progressives in government can change much at all if people don’t first change society.  In 2015,  anti-austerity Greeks were disappointed by the progressive left Syriza government, which they'd voted into office after the financial crisis, but the other things they did to meet society’s needs just might be sowing the seeds for transformation.

It’s absolutely criminal the amount of views Laura Flanders gets for her YouTube show considering the amazing interviews, topics and figures she has on regularly. I’ve been watching it for years and I absolutely adore HA. I highly recommend checking out her channel, she’s covered just about every progressive topic and brings on some of the biggest names to speak about the issues from a place of expertise and what not. She’s great.

Capitalism, Raced & Gendered: Rick Wolff & Farah Tanis 

Published on Jan 11, 2017

Capitalism looks different to those who were once commodities, and that has implications for how we build a future not based in domination. In this conversation, Laura talks with Farah Tanis, executive director of Black Women's Blueprint and Marxist economist, Professor Richard Wolff, about late capitalism, early democracy, the crisis that gave rise to Donald Trump’s election and what might come next, if we take seriously the task of erasing race, gender and other disparities. Solidarity economy models exist across all cultures, times and traditions, points out Tanis, and those models had to be “unlearned” says Wolff. Can we learn anew, together? Tanis and the Black Women's Blueprint recently hosted the first Truth and Reconciliation Commission on Black women and sexual assault in the U.S. Dr. Richard Wolff is a Marxist economist, professor, and the founder of Democracy at Work. His new book, Capitalism's Crisis Deepens, is out now.

Laura’s F-Word on why Donald Trump’s new budget isn’t about cuts -- it’s about conversions. The budget wants to convert public dollars into private funding for military research and spending, for the only government apparatus that never gets audited.
