HOST: Eric DraitserGUEST: Lucy SchillerTOPICS: COVID-19 and the multi-billion dollar senior living industry. Police and the Wealth of Nations: Déjà Vu or Unfinished Business? by Peter LinebaughIn the 1960s there was a wave of rioting, municipal rebellion, and challenges to property in the USA. In order to see that wave from a working-class point of view I went over to England to study riots and crime. In those days the theory was that the working-class could bring an end to capitalism, but historically before the working-class was “made,” it consisted of a mob of the poor given to crimes. The horrid ones against people – assault, rape, murder – were relatively few. The ones against property highway robbery, burglary, shop-lifting, house-breaking, pocket-picking tended to be new, i.e., from the 16th century at the birth of nation-state, or from the 18th century with high finance and imperialism. More Class, Race and Power by Rob UrieSince the onset of the Great Recession, a debate has persisted over creating what is described depending on one’s premises, as either a trans-ideological working class movement or a red-brown alliance of socialists with fascists. ‘Socialist’ in this configuration is a classless movement that maps quite remarkably to the base of the Democratic Party. More A Requiem for George Floyd by John DavisHowever complicit we may be in sustaining the historical-racial schema in this country, we can all now agree that, ‘Black Lives Matter’, but the tag’s emblazonment across the country, and internationally, remains a hollow gesture unless there is meaningful collective action to create a social environment in which all black lives can indeed flourish and matter.
