Recently we watched Richard Wolff in his documentary Captalism Hits the Fan, well two nights later he spoke at the National Day of Action at Occupy Boston at which I saw him. Below is a video of him speaking to a radio station about Capitalism, Americans, and the role of Occupy in the conversation on class and capitalism. It puts some of his arguments into a larger socio-political context, related to some of our class discussions.

Class Diary #3
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZP8qnR7bk0
I was putting together some music for Occupy Boston this week, and while searching Pete Seeger came across this video. It struck me for its visibility and transparency of Class. When was the last time that mainstream music talked about unions? As talked about in class, this language and clarity regarding an identity around Class has been forced aside and made invisibile. Pete Seeger has many many songs that talk about things related to unions, working class, working conditions etc. This example is just a staunch one.
Enjoy!
