Hot Autumn 2.0 w/ Alex Colston

General strike in Spain! Riots in France! Port blockades in 33 countries! The hot autumn is heating up and we're here for it with roving seafarer and workers inquirer Alex Colston to talk about his time with the dockworkers of Italy as they prosecuted a shutdown against the Israeli-American war machine.

Topic include: the use of land and sea blockades by capital and workers alike, alter-globalization and communization theories of logistics, the connection between class consciousness and antiwar activism and more!
