Antifa: A Look at the Antifascist Movement Confronting White Supremacists in the Streets | Democracy Now!
'AMY GOODMAN: To look more at the antifascist movement, known as antifa, we're joined by Mark Bray, lecturer at Dartmouth College. His new book, Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook.

Artificial Intelligence versus the Human Mind | What's Left
The fear of robots taking all the jobs (and the silliness of those arguments) is an issue that has been much discussed, including in What's Left This Week. Are robots replacing humans on production lines? Of course. But, it is important to understand the logic that leads to this happening because the problem isn't that robots are taking peoples' jobs.
