In the second segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Leo Flores, Latin America Campaign Coordinator at CODEPINK and a fellow at Globetrotter, to discuss his recent article, “How Venezuela is Rebuilding its Industrial Base, One Volunteer at a Time,” and why the 2,000+ member Productive Workers Army is taking the fight to restore Venezuelan economic production into their own hands.
In the third segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by writer and historian Dr. Todd Steven Burroughs, to discuss the recent television miniseries “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” how the series subverts long-standing racial comic book tropes, and the role of US military money in the Marvel universe.
