Happy May Day Tender Comrades. Here is a repost of our May Day episode from 2021.

In it, we talk about the history of May Day from pagan rituals to the Haymarket Affair to International Workers’ Day to Labor Day and Loyalty Day. And we discuss how the ruling class’s “war on the left” fits into the politics of May Day vs. Labor Day.Spend an hour of your International Workers’ Day hearing about the history of May Day. You won’t regret it.

In the latest episode, we talk about the 50th anniversary of the fall of Saigon.

We describe the events that led to the U.S. withdrawal in 1973, and then how Hanoi began their December 1974 offensive that eventually led to the fall of the South Vietnamese government. We also talk about the chaos in Laos and Cambodia as a result of the fall of Saigon, the domestic impact on the U.S. and then the 50 year political and cultural legacy in the U.S. We end with a discussion of the film, literature and television that considers the war.

An important history in the context of current events of war in Ukraine and the Middle East, particularly Palestine, and the rise of Trump and far right politics.

Today's politics and culture wars are intertwined with pro wrestling. More than people realize. Since the summer of 2015 when Donald Trump came down the escalator to announce he was running for president, plenty of people, of course, have noted this relationship that he’s had with WWE owner Vince McMahon and his links to professional wrestling. In our latest, Scott talks with Jason Myles, host of This is Revolution, about his new documentary called “Kayfabe” about pro-wrestling and Trump’s politics.
