Excellent program, some of my thoughts:

Carl, I thought it was clarified that Rosa Luxemberg was murdered by the Social Democrats of Germany? I do think that needs to be clarified as was suggested previously by David Johnson.

Howie Hawkins support for “russiagate,” is the reason many of us identifying as Greens, have difficulty supporting him for President. H.H. has a long admirable record as a labor leader, its said, he introduced the Green New Deal, I thought it was Ralph Nader, However if he is so ignorant of foreign policy issues, which includes US propaganda, then he should not be the Presidential candidate for the Green Party. 

I’m pleased to see positive reference of the WSWS.Org. as I have been supportive of them, generally speaking, for years but felt quite isolated in this respect. 

I know little if nothing about the problems related to Unit 4, but I loved David’s letter because it addressed the issue with analysis that could be and should be applied to so many issues we are dealing with. Identity Politics, becomes a worn label, but liberalism focusing on social problems has us running around like chicken little, screaming “discrimination,” when in fact the sky really is falling. 

 In Thailand, given Thai Buddhism is very tolerant, discrimination against gays and trans appears not to exist, primarily due to well known privileged elites being known gays or trans. At first glance it appears admirable, but upon close examination one sees the awful destruction, and ruined lives of those gays and trans being exploited, because they are  poor.
