[CHH S08E21] The Violent Crimes of Lost, Angry Men

In this episode of Capitalism Hits Home, Dr. Harriet Fraad explores how rape and mass murder become some men's reactions to their reduced status as providers for dependent women and children. Men who never recognized the life-sustaining care they received from women are lost and angry.  Vulnerability and emotional need are inaccessible for many men. Anger and violence seem like socially accepted masculine ways to reestablish lost economic power and an emotional outlet for loneliness. As this epidemic continues to crescendo with the current administration in power, we must understand the correlations at play and explore ways to curb this unnecessary violence.

Capitalism Hits Home with Dr. Harriet Fraad (CHH) is a  @democracyatwrk production. The show explores the intersection of capitalism, class, and personal lives, examining the economic realm and its impact on individual and social psychology. Learn more about CHH:

[EU S15 E46] Capitalism Equals Class Warfare

The totality of today's Economic Update is devoted to exploring (1) the multiple ways that capitalism imposes class warfare on its people, and (2) how class warfare shapes the capitalist system's impact on employers and employees. Specific examples show (1) what kind of class struggle is involved in tariffs such as those imposed by Trump, (2) how inflation exemplifies class war, and (3) how unemployment reflects and includes class war. A question addressed throughout today's program is "Why establish and maintain an economic system that produces and reproduces class war across its history?”

[Episode 32]  Trump's Labor Prisons For Homeless Are Being Built!

We hope you're all enjoying Unredacted Tonight with comedian, author, and activist Lee Camp on the d@w channel, as part of our efforts to expand the content of the Friends of d@w program.

Lee Camp takes a sharp, satirical look at homelessness policy in America—contrasting punitive crackdowns with evidence-based solutions. Using Utah as a case study, he revisits how a “Housing First” approach once drove down chronic homelessness and why shifting away from it fueled a surge. Along the way, he spotlights overlooked realities—empty homes, the unique challenges facing veterans and children, and how criminalizing poverty ignores root causes like health care access and affordable housing.

Grounded in reporting and research, the episode argues that proven programs work best when paired with case management and long-term support. Instead of short-term enforcement, it examines outcomes, costs, and human impacts—asking what actually reduces unsheltered homelessness, improves public safety, and strengthens communities. The tone is comedic, but the focus stays on practical, humane policy.

In the second half, the show pivots to digital wellness, exploring how heavy screen time affects attention, empathy, and mental health—especially for adolescents. From the “phone on the table” effect to studies on mood, cognition, and face-to-face connection, Lee breaks down the science with humor and real-world takeaways: device-free conversations, more outdoor time, and mindful tech habits. It’s a fast, funny tour through two urgent issues—homelessness solutions and the screen-saturated lives shaping how we think, feel, and relate.

[Season 2 Episode 17] A Socialist Win in NYC: How, Why, & What it Means

Zohran Mamdani was declared the winner of the New York City mayoral election on November 4th, 2025. He ran as a Democratic Socialist. He ran as an immigrant. He ran as a Muslim. He ran on a platform of affordability, and he ran without taking a dime from corporations. He defeated a member of a political dynasty and the billionaires who backed him, and he did so with a resounding majority of the vote. He has set an example for others to follow and given hope to many in a tumultuous political era. 

In this episode, the dialectic goes to work with the world's leading Marxian economist, Professor Richard Wolff, to examine how and why this monumental moment happened and what it could mean for New York City and the rest of the world. 

The Dialectic at Work is a podcast hosted by Professor Shahram Azhar & Professor Richard Wolff. The show is dedicated to exploring Marxist theory. It employs the dialectical mode of reasoning, a method developed over millennia by Plato and Aristotle, and continues to explore new dimensions of theory and praxis through dialogue. The Marxist dialectic is a revolutionary dialectic that not only seeks to understand the world but also to change it. In our discussions, the dialectic comes into play, aiming to address the pressing life crises that we face as a global community.
