I am awake (barely) in an auditorium but @_RajPatel is talking about the New Deal and agriculture and colonialism and you can watch it here: vimeo.com/359778899?mc_c…
@_RajPatel OK he's also talking about the Great Cowboy Strike of 1883 and how they valued reproductive labor and I am fully awake and here for this
@_RajPatel "These strikes made the New Deal possible...it's important to see the New Deal as part of a war of position...the building of a counterhegemonic bloc." - @_RajPatel
@_RajPatel "The US was desperately trying to postpone its communist future and that's why the New Deal happened"
@_RajPatel "And just like before there are those who would like to address the current crisis of capitalism with fascism...Here too the strategies of America's socialists are important"
@_RajPatel And closing with the need to value reproductive labor and remember that "every cook can govern," thanks @_RajPatel I needed this.
@_RajPatel . @_RajPatel points out that the Green New Deal legislation calls on the movement but "that's not how you build a movement"
