Bad Faith: Episode 565 - The Black Capitalism Trap (w/ Dr. Jared Ball, Paul Prescod, & Q. Anthony Ali)

Last week, a 20 minute debate about the merits of capitalism went mega viral, with Professor Marc Lamont Hill singularly defending socialism against a panel of co-hosts on the popular Joe Budden podcast. The former rapper and other panelists raised common objections to, and misunderstandings of, socialism, and exposed a particular commitment to Black capitalism that leftists must reckon with in order to change public consciousness. To that end, Morgan State professor of Africana & Media Studies & host of the I Mix What I Like! podcast, Dr. Jared Ball, Labor Notes staffer & Jacobin contributing editor Paul Prescod, & independent journalist Q. Anthony Ali join Bad Faith to break it all down. [9:00 AM] Note that YouTube won't allow us to post the clips from Joe Budden podcast.

Great episode but it ends with very important details about how one's lefty politics seems to have led to being kicked off big social media platforms and denied access to the most popular fundraising tools. Lots of work to do.

Episode 538 - The Final Somalilution (w/ Kit Klarenberg)

Why compromising with MAGA on the shutdown makes no sense...

The fight is less about rising ACA costs that the GOP has to fix or lose massively in 2026 anyway, than demanding the president actually fund the programs Congress told him to. Why make another budget deal when he doesn't live up to them anyway? That's what needs to be explained to the public and fought to change.

"What Are We Even Doing Here?" (w/ David Dayen)

Pocket Casts

(5/5)

"...there are risks to viewing the world through the prism of identity ... If 'identity' becomes synonymous with 'perspective', dissenting members within the identity group risk having their viewpoints erased and their humanity diminished. And when used cynically, as a political weapon, a simplistic view of identity can allow people of a particular political faction to wrongly imply that they speak for all members of their racial or gender group."

How Identity Became A Weapon Against The Left

Reaction to criticism of Kamala Harris shows how the voices of progressive people of color are erased…

"Already, influential Democrats have shown a strong interest in [Kamala] Harris, with prominent former Clinton donors meeting privately with Harris in the Hamptons. The San Francisco Chronicle called her the Democrats’ 'Great Blue Hope', and a Guardian writer suggested that the combination of Harris’s race and her centrist platform 'could be the party’s solution to its identity crisis'.”

In hindsight, it's easy to see where the Dems went wrong.
