Left Forum 2017 - Saturday Plenary
June 21, 2017, 11:16 a.m.
Activists, community organizers and grassroots leaders have vowed to continue to demonstrate against plans to pass the Dakota Access pipeline adjacent to the Standing Rock Indian Reservation, near Cannon Ball, North Dakota. Acting on an order from president Trump, the Army Corps of Engineers said it would grant the easement that Energy Transfer Partners needs to finish the final stretch of the pipeline. It also canceled an environmental review the Corps said it would undertake while President Barack Obama was still in office. Some might say the resistance fight was lost!
This plenary attempts to answer the following questions; did or does resistance alone work towards the ultimate goal of social change? Women seemed to be at the forefront of the Standing Rock struggle, are women rising up and taking the lead in our social struggles? The Women's March in January 2017 saw massive protests around the country and around the world. On March 8, women from 30 countries participated in the Women's Strike; organization for a May Day general strike is building on that momentum. Could this be a sign of things to come? Do we need more than resistance? What are the lessons learned? How can we build a global movement of resistance which brings together movements fighting similar issues and eventually leads to a new society?

Jeremy Corbyn - Resurgence of Democratic Socialism
June 20, 2017, 10:43 p.m.
This program explores the extraordinary gains in votes for the British Labour Party, led by Jeremy Corbyn, and the equally extraordinary and unexpected losses of the pro Brexit conservative party under Theresa May on June 8, 2017.
With brief clips from the BBC, Counterspin, and Naomi Klein on Democracy Now and a re-broadcast of a labor breakfast speech by Corbyn from a 2003 TUC Radio program, the following issues are raised:
What are the parallels between Bernie Sanders and Corbyn and the future of democratic socialism. How can a grassroots movement with youth involvement bring huge crowds and even electoral votes to candidates who were thought to be unelectable, often maligned or silenced in the media. What are the principles that ignite awareness and participation?
Many commentators say that Jeremy Corbyn has been remarkably consistent in his political demands over 30 years. Before entering politics, Corbyn, born in May 1949, worked as a representative for various trade unions.
He has been the Member of Parliament for Islington North since 1983. He advocates reversing austerity cuts to public services and welfare funding made in the UK since And he proposes re-nationalization of the privatized public utilities and railways. As long standing anti war activist, he supports a foreign policy of military non intervention and unilateral nuclear disarmament.
The 2003 speech was given in his capacity as national chair of the Stop the War Coalition. It was recorded by Jeffrey Blankfort at a labor breakfast on the San Francisco waterfront only days days after the Stop the War Coalition had brought over 1/2 million war resistors to Hyde Park in London - in an attempt to prevent the launching of the Bush and Blair led war against Iraq.
An Unaccompanied Dialectic on Postcolonial African Angst and Subversively Critical non-Participation
June 20, 2017, 10:02 p.m.
With White-Supremacist terrorism becoming an everyday reality in North America, FWR host @TheAngryindian â via the medium of (AfroIndio) spoken word â offers a personal deconstructionist perspective based upon his own experiences growing-up within an ideological and intellectually-rich African-Resistance environment. Although his criticisms are not meant to insult or demean the modern African liberation movement within the United States or Occupied Canada, the fact remains that â broadly speaking â our strongest criticisms seem reserved for anti-intellectual argumentation; One-Drop Rule Colourism bias; acceptable levels of âconsciousâ Homophobia and Black Folk who suggest that careless chatter concerning âRevolutionâ might very well serve to work against the Afro-American community in the long run.
EXTRAS: Listeners should anticipate audio satire and political hints in the form of âSpringtime for Hitlerâ and an archived interview with Afro-American revolutionary leader Robert F. Williams (interviewed while in exile in Tanzania in 1974)
All this and much more on, 4WR.

Ted Nordhaus: U.S. Leaves Paris
June 20, 2017, 4:14 p.m.
Are the cries for a complete transition to renewable energy from environmentalists like Bill McKibben actually undermining the work to combat climate change? That is the position of our guest today on Sea Change Radio. Ted Nordhaus is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Breakthrough Institute, an Oakland-based think tank which focuses on energy issues. We discuss Nordhausâs recent piece in Foreign Policy magazine, assess the damage that climate change denialism in the US has wrought on the planet, and examine the methods used by both pro-environment and anti-environment activists.
Curtis Mayfield: Gentle Genius, Reluctant Preacher

His mother allowed him to join the group with the proviso that he continue to study. Mayfieldâs mother bought him up on Paul Lawrence Dunbar. He came out of home that had books. Anna Belle Mayfield, his grandmotherâs of the Traveling Soul Spiritualists Church helped develop him musically, spiritually and in business.
