Alyson and Breht discuss the recent rulings by the Supreme Court, a wildly anti-democratic, thoroughly corrupt, and staunchly reactionary institution that the American right has spent years and billions of dollars capturing in order to impose its minoritarian rule on an American majority that firmly rejects what they stand for. And they do it all without having to worry for even a second about pesky things getting in their way: like democracy, human rights, or basic accountability to the American people.

0:00.0 | Hello everybody, welcome back to Red Menace. |
0:19.4 | On today's episode we decided to kind of put aside the angles. |
0:22.9 | We have one more episode on the angles origin of the family private property in the state. |
0:27.8 | We're still going to get to it, we're still working on it. |

1:10.2 | of the ruling class, and just kind of have a free-flowing conversation. |
1:14.7 | So this is really sparked by the recent rulings that came out regarding LGBTQ discrimination |
1:23.9 | affirmative action at the level of universities and of course the student loan debate. |
1:30.2 | And the first thing I guess I would like to say is, and this is obvious, but none of this |
