To hear the rest of the discussion, please join us on Patreon at - https://www.patreon.com/posts/patreon-pascal-83981631 Katie talks to the hosts of THIS IS REVOLUTION podcast (TIR) about Black Marxist politics which frequently gets left out, co-opted or distorted. TIR was started by long time musician and overall troublemaker Jason Myles in late fall of 2019 in West Oakland, CA. After about a year through the recommendation of Touré Reed, Jason met Black Agenda Report and Huffington Post columnist Pascal Robert. The two bonded over their Marxian class analysis and other topics that they felt was missing in an understanding of the concept of “Black politics”. Pascal continues to write for Black Agenda Report as well as an occasional column in Newsweek, while Jason is a columnist at Sublation Magazine as well as the host of TIR. The two have no signs of slowing down their intellectual output as Pascal is working on a book on Haitian history and Jason continues to expand the show in various directions from live shows, to a feature length video essay that he will be screening for live audiences by year's end.
