In this recent-classic talk, political scientist MICHAEL PARENTI refutes the claim that the "free enterprise" system (capitalism) promotes democracy. Drawing on historical examples--from ancient Greece to the Constitutional Convention to the present day--Parenti shows how the capitalists fought democracy every step of the way--and continue to do so. Rather, democracy emerged, in fits and starts, from the struggles of average people to bring practical improvements to their lives.

Yves Engler discusses his two most recent articles, about the SNC Lavalin scandal, and Canada's interference in Venezuela. It is possible to discuss the two issues together, because they are linked by a common denominator: the Canadian government operates on behalf of the Canadian business class. It protects corrupt corporations, and destabilizes foreign governments that practice resource nationalism. A Global South government that is responsive to popular needs invites overthrow by Canada's rules-debased foreign policy.

Do you struggle with the idea of sex work as legitimate work? Or whether feminists can be sex workers? In light of International Women's Day this week we air an interview with a sex work and advocate. She tells us about the concerns sex workers have with legislation. Monday was International Sex Worker Rights Day and in Brisbane there was a rally held in King George Square. The main focus in Queensland is sex worker safety, in jeopardy because of State laws. Elena Jefferies is a doctor of political science and international studies and a sex worker. She is the Queensland coordinator for advocacy group Respect Inc. The rest of the show is dedicated to good music, and talking about all the things Australian Minister for Home Affairs has fucked up. And signs of his imminent downfall.

This week’s radio show is a replay of last week’s show because I f%#@ked up and sent the wrong show to KAOS, and especially since this show has a piece that directly addresses and issue at the Evergreen State College then I wanted to make sure my KAOS listeners hear this show. (I usually do a replay on the second week of the month anyway.) This show show reveals how rather than wallowing in darkness we could instead create an empire of light! We then contemplate the differences between ‘safe’ spaces and ‘public’ spaces and for the feature piece we describe the Machine’s seeming end game. The problem is that it is likely to end all of us. Lightning bolts of tongue-in-cheek love thundering down. Check it out.
