Good show

My thoughts while watching: 

It might be of value to mention that CLR James, author of the Black Jacobins, Adolph Reed and others discussing “race as not the issue, focus should be on class,” are not white. In a recent interview with Adolph Reed he claimed to have been a former Black Panther. 

Many believe Kamala Harris failure to generate support, was due to her tough law and order record when a DA in SF. She was no liberal. She is now playing the race card by claiming, “America isn’t ready for a woman President, a black woman President.”

As to Pete Buttagieg, it might be worth promoting the podcast discussion referred to by Ben Norton and Max Blumenthal. Their interview with journalist Peter Van Buren was very insightful. My employer had me charge Kinsey Consultants $1,000 an hour, consulting with me. Had I known what I know now, I would have charged double.

Louis Proyect, the former ISO leadership, the local Black Rose Anarchists, and many others have lost credibility as “Leftists,” when they support the USG intervention and war in Syria. Many are Trotskyist organizations, as claimed by Diana Johnstone, but not all, the WSWS.ORG does not support imperialism in Syria.  

Socialists/Communists generally do not support imperialism in Syria or anywhere else, if they do one should question there true intentions.
