Summary

Danielle was traveling, so no Check-In this week (no worries, we’ll be back next week), so I held the time space and did another one of these Dispatches Mailbag Live episodes. I usually keep these mailbags for subscribers, but I want to open them up a bit. In this episode, I discuss the idea that there are no “good billionaires” and that they’re perpetuating systems of exploitation and hurting democracy, the lack of an actual Left in the United States, I answer questions about organizing the workplace, how to talk to people who don’t actually know what’s going on, the prison complex as a political gulag, and so much more. Thanks for everyone who shows up and supports this project. If this has helped, please considering becoming a paid subscriber. Dispatches From A Collapsing really, desperately needs your support. I have no corporate backing because corporations do not support actual critiques of capitalism and power. If this work matters to you, please become a paid subscriber This is a public episode.
