A fairly balanced Marxist analysis from Roosevelt's New Deal to Neo-liberalism.
I learnt that the New Deal, in part, was to offer an alternative in case all the unemployed during the depression found out about communism’s claims of full employment.
Roosevelt's 2nd Bill of Rights sounds a bit like Aotearoa in the '70s.
Around 45 minutes.

Another trouble-maker from The Grayzone offends our allies in Tel Aviv
Jeremy Loffredo should have taken a lesson from the likes of our brilliant RNZ reporters and newsreaders, and simply regurgitated U.S./Israeli propaganda, instead of getting himself arrested and beaten up by Israeli security forces.
Personally, I don’t understand why any journalist would feel uncomfortable repeating Israel’s authorised version of events. It’s so much better for your career to gloss over the build up to World War III and the possible extinction of the human race. All you have to say is “Yup, that school was definitely exploded by a stray Hamas rocket” or “Sure, Israel sniped that toddler, but it has a right to defend itself”. You see how easy that was? Anyone who can’t lie for Israel gets no sympathy from me.
If Israel doesn’t want people to know that rockets are reaching Tel Aviv, it’s because that information is not in the public interest. You’re not allowed to know the truth about Israel because the truth would make Israel look bad.
I’m sure you will agree that journalists who don’t comply with Israeli censorship demands should be jailed for the rest of their lives, or even sent to death row. Jeremy Loffredo must be punished in the strongest way possible for telling the truth about Israel. It’s time to make an example of him so no one ever makes this mistake again.
If you’re American, do not under any circumstances call the US embassy in Israel on +011-972-2-630-4000 or email them at JerusalemACS@state.gov to demand Loffredo’s release because this would make you a decent person who cares about journalistic freedom and human rights and we don’t do those things anymore, do we? x

In a just world Chai Hamo could expect to receieve a summons from the ICC in his inbox.
From Wikpedia the online encyclopedia:
I don't think even Belladonna or even SPC would deny that mass violence hadn't occured.
But if I think Chai Hamo will be summoned by the ICC?
Based on the reluctance of the ICC to seek summons for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Galant, I would say, not a chance. And Hamo knows it.
