THIS IS REVOLUTION>podcast Ep. 77: Football, Honky Tonk Music and Marx w/ David Griscom

I saw a tweet today that spoke to the sometimes contradictory tone that knowledgeable leftists can have towards the newly radicalized.  Like, some of us didn't spend our lives reading Marx, Chomsky, studying philosophy and thinking about radical change.  Some of didn't go university, and have only a U.S. propaganda influenced take on any alternative ways of approaching governing systems.    For many, regardless of age, the Bernie Sanders campaign was a radicalizing moment.  The thought that things like healthcare is a human right and not the privilege of the select few that have a job that offers employer paid healthcare.  Education shouldn't be a financial burden that is a must if you want to not just succeed in society, but exist in it.  So we should be ecstatic that new people are coming to the fold, not chastising them because they may not fit your stereotype of what you qualify as a proper "lefty".     In steps David Griscom from the The Michael Brooks Show and Jacobin.  His "Griscom's Economic Minute" segment on TMBS was where I first started to hear him speak.  He has a great way of explaining very important issues that affect the working class in a way that doesn't condescend his audience succinctly.  I also found out he's a big football fan.  I spoke with David a few days after the first presidential debate.  We spoke a bit on the debate, his love for Longhorn football, country music, and Marx.    Watch David Griscom on The Michael Brooks Show: https://youtu.be/3IphhJMr3Ns   Watch David Griscom on Jacobin:  https://youtu.be/WNXWJ0z-A1g   Thank you again for taking the time to check this out.  We truly appreciate it.  Please, we need your support to keep producing these shows.  Become a patron!
