Description

In our final show of 2023 (which means we've now done 4 calendar years of episodes) we look back on the lives we lost this past year, with a special discussion of the brilliant Left historian Arno Mayer and the important legacy he's left us. We also gave tribute to John Pilger, Dan Ellsberg, Harry Belafonte, Norman Lear, Tom Smothers, and lots of others.

We also talk about the work of organizers and movements and have a remembrance of Tortuguita (murdered by the Georgia State Police in the Weelaunee forest earlier this year.)

And we tell you how you can get a Green & Red Hat......

If you want to read Arno Mayer, the books we mentioned were "Political Origins of the New Diplomacy," "Politics and Diplomacy of Peacemaking," "Why Did the Heavens not Darken?," and "Plowshares Into Swords"
