You should go listen to the latest episode of Left on Red where they interview Ramsin Canon. We read Canon's article "Ultraliberalism: the dominant tendency of the American left" for our episode on Ultraleftism (link in comments). #socialism #dsa #ultraleftism #liberalism #left

We're going to re-record our recent interview with Syd Locke about his LD-22. The audio quality just isn't up to our standards. We'll try to get that done ASAP and replace the current audio file with the new one as soon as it's recorded.
