Seeing Red Radio: Honduran Coup, Smithfield Workers and Marx’s Capital 7/2/09

July 11th, 2009 Posted by seeingredTony

Yankee Go Home! Sunday’s coup by the Honduran military and the international response it invoked reveals a shifting dynamic between the global South and the continued hegemony of the North Atlantic. After 13 years of hard-fought struggle the Smithfield Workers finally win their first contract. Recent unemployment statistics reveal a lengthening recession in the United States. We return to Michael A. Lebowitz’s book, Build It Now: Socialism in the 21st Century for a look at Karl Marx’s disrobing of classical political economy in his master work Capital. We remember the days of rioting at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village forty years ago this week. Finally, we look back at this day, July 2nd, in Revolutionary History.
