In this episode we look at leftist discourse about Syria, Venezuela and the DPRK, and the McCarthyist tendencies being invoked against anti-imperialists who defend the official enemies of empire.
We discuss how the West's anti-war movement has been stifled as a result of this lack of clear analysis.

We've been wanting to discuss Folkorama for a while now, with the recent statement issued by Folkorama to CBC in regards to the unofficial Ghanaian pavilion, now seemed like an appropriate time
