This was a presentation Phil and Sloce gave about organizing with Richmond City Workers and SEIU 512 on 06/08/2022.  Thank you to The Virginia Worker for organizing this event. Please plan to come to City Hall on Monday, June 27th, at 5:30 pm to meet and rally with Richmond City Workers and community supporters before we go to the City Council Meeting. There is an opportunity for Richmond City Workers to make history and WIN Collective Bargaining Rights! We need a STRONG showing to keep our movement for our union alive. There's a role for everyone, from speaking in public comment or cheerleading our crew to wearing a t-shirt or holding a sign--it's all hands on deck!

We are joined by our good comrade Meadow to discuss the booklet “Killing and Transforming the Dominant Man” by the Andrea Wolf Institute.  This text combines the ideology of the Kurdish Freedom Movement with other work on critical masculinity. This was a wonderful and enlightening conversation, and I think it is an excellent follow up to our episode on Friedrich Engels’s The Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State.    Outro: Feminazgûl - In the Shadow of Dead Gods

Get your jokes in: we talked Trotsky. We welcome back Big Dave (@BoomGoesTheDave) from Communist League of Richmond (@RVACommunists) to talk about Leon Trotsky's Theory of Permanent Revolution.
