Candace Falk on preserving Emma Goldman's works
Jan. 25, 2015, 11:12 a.m.
This week's episode features a conversation with Candace Falk, founder and main editor at the Emma Goldman Papers Project in Berkeley, CA.
A quick introduction. Emma Goldman was born in what is today Lithuania in 1869, moving to the U.S. at the age of 16. As a Jewish woman immigrating from Eastern Europe to New York city, she was not alone in the struggles she would face in terms of racism, patriarchy, nativism capitalism and so more. But Emma became involved in the Anarchist movement after the Haymarket Massacre and subsequent show trials of the next year and would grow to become known for a time as the most dangerous woman in America (J. Edgar Hoover). Her agitation and writing in support of free love, athiesm, the abolition of state and capitalism, contraception, beauty, literature, gender parity and more made tidal waves in her day and have continued to inspire people since she died in 1940. She aided would-be assassins, was jailed for agitating against World War I, was exiled to Russia, preached against the corruption of the Soviet Government, did propaganda work on behalf of the Spanish Anarchists in their Revolution, loved, lived and lost.
For the hour we talk about how Candace came to love Emma Goldman, the creation of the EGPP archives, what they provide, their relationship with the University of California at Berkeley and what the future may hold for the project. Candace also shares stories of how curating a history of Emma has bled into including bits of related and overlapping history and the rewards of this sort of seeking.

The full conversation on Emma's impact on Candace's life and the story of finding the letters in Chicago is found in the second audio file here.

AMERICA, HECK YEA!⦠When everyone cowered, we stepped in.
This week we Queue up and give our breakdown of the now classic puppet against Jihad parody TEAM AMERICA : WORLD POLICE from Trey Parker and Matt Stone. This is what you have. Team America, an international police force dedicated to maintaining global stability, learns that a power hungry dictator is brokering weapons of mass destruction to terrorists, leaving our heroes to embark upon a harrowing mission to save the world from those attempting to destroy freedom around the globe! Team America soon recruits Gary Johnston, a rising star on Broadway, to go undercover in an attempt to gain a foothold into the terrorist nest of evil dooers. Although initially reluctant to sacrifice his promising career, Gary realizes that his superb acting gifts are needed for a higher cause. With the help of fellow Team America members, Chris, Sarah, Lisa, Joe and Spottswoode, Gary slips into an arms dealerâs hideout where he discovers that the terroristsâ plot has already begun to unfold. From the pyramids of Cairo to the Panama Canal and finally to the palace of power-mad dictator, Kim Jong II, Team America criss-crosses the globe on a desperate mission to preserve the very fabric of civilization. With NO strings attached. All of this plus our Top 3 Movie Montages⦠Because even Rocky had a montage!

350,000 Member Strong Union Leader at Forefront of Organizing United Front Against South Africa s Class Inequalities and
Colonialism of a Special Type
with
Irvin Jim, Secretary General, National Union of Metal Workers South Africa ( NUMSA)
"NUMSA, in line with the Freedom Charter demands, has demanded nationalization of the Reserve Bank, mines, land, strategic and monopoly industries without compensation must take place with speed, if we are to avoid sliding into anarchy and violence as a result of the cruel impact of the continuing Colonialism of a Special Type which breeds poverty, unemployment and extreme inequalities in South Africa today" , NUMSA general secretary Irvin Jim
Jim talks about NUMSA s advocacy for its members interests against the corporateocracy & exciting developments with the Preparatory Assembly of the United Front in South Africa, a possible forerunner of the formation of a workers party, socialist in its orientation, with an eye on 2016 local government elections. NUMSA leadership has criticized the ruling majority party, the African National Congress for failing to take responsibility for South Africa s growing inequality and the fact that infrastructure, education, water resources and health systems remain unfairly distributed across the societies of South Africa.

Instead of gloom and doom, we take note of events that are just ... weird. How about a plan to reduce carbon emissions in Australia by shooting wild camels? (Their burps and farts contain methane, you see.) How about a required history unit on Estee Lauder in Texas schools? Plus journalist Conn Hallinan's "Are You Serious?" Awards; newspaper items from Connecticut; and satire (or is it?) by The Onion, Roy Zimmerman, and George Carlin.

In the January 2015 Taxcast: how offshore is ruining the 'Beautiful Game' â the Taxcast scrutinises football's own goal. Also: how banks with criminal convictions are being allowed to continue to handle our money, how people may be allowed to apply for anonymity in the UK's new register of beneficial owners of companies to be introduced in 2016, and the meeting of the world's most powerful in that bastion of transparency, Davos, Switzerland. Plus more scandal and unique analysis.
âif we're shifting competition away from the athleticism, the skill, the talent of the players and into the skill and talent of accountants, lawyers, bankers and board room executives, then the sport becomes a pointless thing to go and watch.'

Does Income Inequality Impair The American Dream? - A Debate

Does Income Inequality Impair The American Dream? - A Debate
Income inequality has been on the rise in the U.S. for decades. The top 1 percent of earners in the U.S. now holds a much greater share of national income than three decades ago. At the same time, incomes for the bottom half of American households have remained virtually flat.
Some economists and social scientists argue that income inequality leads to unequal access to opportunity and resources like nutrition and education. That's left children born to poor families with little hope of escaping poverty themselves, they argue, and has made upward mobility unattainable for many in the middle class, as well.
But others say that income inequality is not inherently a bad thing. They point to research that finds that countries with greater inequality also experience more economic growth. That means that people at all income levels will benefit, they argue, even if their individual slice of the economic pie becomes smaller.
Before the debate, the audience at the Kaufman Music Center in New York was 60 percent in favor of the motion and 14 percent against, with 26 percent undecided. After the debate, 53 percent favored the motion and 37 percent voted against it, making the team arguing against the motion the winner of this debate.

Jorge Martin, international secretary of the Hands Off Venezuela campaign was interviewed regarding the upcoming election in Greece.
Greece's Coalition of the Left, or SYRIZA, continues to lead in polls in the days before national elections on January 25, making it more and more possible that the government will soon be led by a left party committed to reversing the savage austerity program that has plunged Greece into an economic depression and catastrophic social crisis.
What does this mean for Greece, the EU and workers movements all over the world against Austerity.
