This week, “What’s Left?” Interviews Jeff Strahl. A fellow traveller in Workers and Students for Choice and frequent intellectual contributor to our podcast. Jeff is one of the few Marxists who did not fall for the for the Covid narrative and has been a staunch critic of the science that is used to justify it and the Capitalist drive that shapes the political and economic landscape around it. Jeff has a unique take on Marxism that has helped him see through fear fog that surrounds Covid, and we look to discuss his ideas about Marxism more deeply in this episode. There is only one hitch. He is NOTa Marxist.

First two paragraphs here summarize Jeff’s Biography

And, this leads to what i have created as my own encapsulated take on Marx’s critique of capital and capitalism, and my own criticisms of the numerous misunderstandings and distortions which most people who present themselves as “Marxist” have put forth, as discussed by “my underground twin brother Jack Straw” in 2010-2012.
