The Iowa Caucus broke everyone’s brains, us included! We discuss the fallout from the Democratic establishment’s botched attempt at rigging the results for everyone’s favorite small-town CIA asset Pete Buttigieg.

OK is fresh off #FTP3, and Lucia is getting over a brutal flu so we decided to examine the conversation around self care, community care, and Medicare for All. We’re critical of a clickbaity Mashable article advocating for community care, but are ultimately relieved by its conclusion (“plenty of people don’t have the means and the time.”) We are wary of liberals trying to co-opt grassroots community building and market collectivism as a way to cut standards of living instead of utilizing it to demand universal healthcare. Basically, we really need Bernie to win, we need to ease the suffering, and we need to lessen the boot to sustain our communities and build effective protest movements. The times are pretty dire folks! If you like the podcast and want more, please consider supporting us: https://www.patreon.com/artandlabor. Follow us on twitter and instagram.

We dive into the strange world right-wing memes with our friend Zach Phillips (@floydphill), who we met thanks to Street Fight Radio! The Qanon people correctly identify that they are being fucked over by a ruling global elite, but instead of attributing that to a class politic their framework becomes muddled with a white supremacist and transphobic identity politic. We discuss the growing leftist case for “Epstein didn’t kill himself” sentiment. If you like the podcast and want more, please consider supporting us: https://www.patreon.com/artandlabor.

We originally recorded this episode as a Snackcast, our bonus feed, but liked it too much. Apologies for any munching and crunching, and for the even more causal tone than normal. We discuss working in Chelsea and art fairs as young people, insidious bootstrap mentalities, and the importance of centering marginalized workers. Don’t fall into spectacle mindset, if you must make a banana response please consider the janitorial/service workers that are often forgotten in this discourse (read about their protest in Miami here).
