Summary
This week's episode of The Jacobin Show tackles Du Bois's legacy as an analyst of class domination in America, whether the Democratic Party is hurtling toward doom as continues to fail working-class voters, and why the recent wave of union campaigns must move from spontaneity to sustained "structure-based" organizing.

| 0:29.0 | Hey, everyone. Welcome back to the Jacobin show. I am Jen Pan. Uh, here again with none other than |
| 0:36.3 | Kale Brooks to help me open today's show. Kale, it's been a minute. How are you? Oh, it's good. |
| 0:42.9 | It's been, I guess it has been a minute. Yeah. We people will necessarily know this because you |
| 0:48.8 | pre-recorded a show for last week, but you are on vacation. We've been bouncing. We've been |
| 0:54.2 | globetrotting around the country trying to get to the bottom of what's going on and, uh, and also |
| 1:00.6 | enjoying some sun and beach and, uh, although ocean, maybe in your case, any ocean and sharks and |
| 1:07.8 | all these things, although the sharks and the sun and it's been a dangerous globetrotting mission, |
| 1:13.7 | but I hope you guys appreciate the fruits of our, of our labor. You made it back alive. Um, we are |
| 1:20.6 | going to be talking about, uh, issues of global importance. Jen, I wanted to talk to you briefly, |
| 1:28.3 | actually, uh, about, uh, there's not one, maybe two, maybe many more. It's like unclear how many, |
| 1:37.5 | it seems like we're heading into a storm of many simultaneous, uh, viral diseases happening |
| 1:44.4 | at the same time. Obviously, COVID is still, uh, very much a thing and is actually in a new wave at |

| 1:57.7 | is, uh, has re-emerged and monkeypox, if you don't know, is, um, cousins, it's related. It's in the |

| 2:11.9 | about it is the lesions that appear on your body. It's all over your body, but especially probably |
| 2:17.9 | the most cumbersome and painful have to deal with lesions that end up in your throat, in your mouth, |
| 2:23.7 | in your anus. Uh, it's made, when people get, uh, monkeypox, it's extremely uncomfortable. Some |
| 2:30.5 | people have died. It's, but it's not a highly lethal, uh, disease. The reason we're talking about |
| 2:36.6 | it is because, uh, the US is seeing a rise in monkeypox and has done very little to actually deal |
| 2:45.5 | with it. And the fact that there has been such a limited response actually probably is exacerbating |
