Thanks Felicity!

Excellent. Specially entertaining was Leila chuckling at the absurdity of it all. I mean it really IS either laugh or cry, right? Thanks for bringing some light relief along with information to this otherwise very depressing subject. Just an aside, everyone my age remembers seeing people affected by thalidomide.

This was a fantastic listen. The distinction of state monopoly capitalism vs Fascism is so important especially when todays 'anti-fascism' is basically anti-working class politics. Also, are you guys really doing an episode in Zoomers?
