I’m nominating Carl to be our resident philosopher on Hitting Left.
ICYMI, here’s Friday’s show. We free-wheeled from Barry Commoner’s “Four Laws of the Universe,” to football in Aliquippa, then From Marxism to Buddhism, and back again. What fun!

Carl's comment that white supremacy was designed to hold down whites by the ruling class is so true and largely not appreciated in today/s discussion about white supremacy. "White supremacy" is a tool that is used to divide, and ironically many on the left also use the concept to divide. Our existential problem isn't "white supremacy" - an artificial construct -the problem is capitalism and imperialism.
Belated happy birthday, I just hope I make it to 80 too!

My memoir Atomic Baby Bible has a good chunk of history of the left in Long Beach, Calif during the 1960s. It can be found on Amazon.
