Yes. With this guy, it's Class over everything, but who's definition of "class" are we embracing? And by embracing this definition of Class, what results have been gained from your movement's class focused ideology? Have things gotten better or worse since he's gone on this solely class crusade. I think it's time we really begin to truly evaluate the baseline goals in common Progressive economics. There's a clear disconnect between the ideology of paid commentary and people irl.
@@WurkNProgrez I think Reed comes off as class reductionist in his interviews, but his writing is much more nuanced. As to whether or not things are better or worse, I don't know. I do know this class vs. race debate has produced a lot of talk among the chattering classes, but when it comes to labor organizing, I think it's important to pay attention to racial and gender dynamics in the workplace, and it's important for unions to engage in antiracist struggles as well. In terms of electoral politics, young progressive representatives and candidates are the most diverse group in Congress & I think they have succeeded at combining class politics with intersectionality - they just don't have enough power yet.
Unfortunately, by the time we realized this Noble goal, it will be a Federation government of the working-class by the working-class,for the working-class. I just hope that when that time comes,the working-class will recognize the necessity,and appreciate the contributions of, intellectuals like Adolph Reed,Jr.👍
Loved this and love Reed. But I'm still not clear what he means by "racism can't cause anything." Ideologies can't drive people to do certain things that they otherwise wouldn't have? I can't see how that would be the case.
The slave masters beat the slaves and told them to go back to work. Die trying or die by the master's hands by any means necessary. The master need this here ditch cleared up by sundown. You got that boy.
Watching at the end of 2024 and this aged quite well I feel like the presidential election unfolded in a way that fit with all this, the left and right reaction to this united healthcare shooting
As a non USA citizen looking at your politics from the outside it seems to me that the Republican Party was the progressive party until FDR. It’s a mystery to me how the switch happened.
@@aheroictaxidriver3180 You could make an argument that Teddy Roosevelt was. His administration created your national parks albeit for possible selfish reasons. Lincoln was definitely a progressive even though it has been shown that he was also a racist but who wasn’t then. Arguably Hoover was one of your worst presidents after perhaps Trump and Nixon. Edit: Even Nixon did a redeeming act in the creation of the EPA.
@@MrBazBake Yes, I’m familiar with that. We are taught much about American history here in Canada to the detriment of some of our own history good and bad. We learned more about the global histories of European monarchs i.e. imperialist expansion and colonialism.
Reed wants to ignore that African American slaves and descendants of slaves faced an oppressive and exploitative history that unlike Native Americans, they didn't even get land for. I mean I can agree with the class points, and the economic system does need to change to reduce wealth disparity and be fairer to workers, but imo only after these basic facts of American history have been addressed. Colorblind class reforms might be good policy, but not until this is faced.
You probably know 1/1000th of what there is to know about the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union defeated what was at that time the greatest military organization ever assembled. There were idiots at the top of the Third Reich, but still, at that time, it was the most fearsome force in history. They defeated France in 4 weeks and would have defeated Great Britain as well, except for Hitler's incompetence.
@Illhan Omar's brothers wife The deaths during the holodomor are dwarfed by the millennia of white on white, christian on christian, good guy on good guy mass slaughter that is known as the history of europe.

This interview really touched me, there is so much said here that i have not been able to verbalize in debate. Amazing interview 10/10 👏🏾✊🏿
Reed has put into clear words that I've been grasping at for so long.
Always good to see Adolph Reed Jr
Adolph Reed is intellectual treasures.
Adolph Reed is an intellectual master; much respect.🚩
14:40 Sam's question here is the question I've been wanting to ask Adolph Reed since he's been appearing on Jacobin's RUclips channel.

How did America earn Foundational Black American's loyalty doctor? I, anecdotally🙄feel little loyalty from or for the land of my birth.

LOL Herbert Hoover was a progressive?

Left is best

It was hard to ignore the stuttering, but probably worth the effort.
Neoliberalism yep
I agree with him
Oh boy the Biden comments about forgien policy didn't age well lol.

Good luck with that.
Is the girl on the left actaully listening lol looks like she's just looking down at a screen maybe I'm wrong tho
His stuttering is legitimately annoying
Yeah, they tried this in Russia, it was called the Soviet Union! 😆👎

@Illhan Omar's brothers wife You know a word. That's very good, for you. Nine letters long, at that.

@Illhan Omar's brothers wife There's never been communism, genius. Communism is the abolition of the system of national banks and currencies.
@Illhan Omar's brothers wife Stalin wasn't even a communist. You're not smart enough to come within 1,000 miles of understanding that.
