In this episode, we celebrate All Hallows Eve by talking about something the really scares us... cancel culture on campus!  (We're joined by the scariest guest host ever, who uses the most amazing words you can imagine.)  
We talk about how the capitalist political economy turns students into consumers, universities into corporations & crushes dissent with cancel culture, revoking tenure, grad student union-busting & more.  
Our conversation starts with Dr. Cornel West's op-ed in the Washington Post raising an alarm about the disbanding of the classics program at Howard University.   
We then talk about three recent incidents of cancellation at the University of Michigan, within the University of Georgia system and the University of Florida. The first by left cancel culture, the other two by right wing attempts to stifle dissent.  
This leads us until a deconstruction of how the liberal state works to turn students into consumers and turn university into a factory for the capitalist political economy.   
We wrap up with a "Love'em They're Liberals" segment on the late Secretary of State Collin Powell. Powell's storied career extended from covering up the My Lai massacre in 1968 to serving as Deputy National Security Advisory during Reagan's contra wars to his deceitful performance in front of the United Nations hustling for George W. Bush's invasion of Iraq to serving as an apologist for Obama's drone program.   
Outro music is "Obvious" by Mic Crenshaw on the Emergency Hearts label.
