Co-hosts Andrew Kliman and Gabriel Donnelly speak with guest Gavin Mueller, an assistant professor of New
Media and Digital Culture at the University of Amsterdam. Mueller researches the politics of digital culture and
much of our discussion centers on the realities of artificial intelligence in our time. They consider the huge
amount of money being spent on Large Language Models, how they work, and what they can actually do as
opposed to what all the hype says that they can (or will be able to???) do.
Additionally the discussants consider how workers can fight the encroachment of this new, automated
technology into the workplace. Our discussion leans on parts of Gavin’s book Breaking Things at Work: The
Luddites Are Right About Why You Hate Your Job. They consider what Marx said about technology and
automation, and how it applies to this situation.
Plus current-events segment: the co-hosts discuss the political indictments handed down from the Trumpist
Department of Justice that have targeted personal foes of Trump-James Comey, Leticia James, and John Bolton.

RFH Ep 128 The New Stage of Struggle Against Trumpism (Discussion of MHI Editorial)
Co-hosts Andrew Kliman and Gabriel Donnelly discuss Marxist-Humanist Initiative’s upcoming editorial “The
New Stage of Struggle Against Trumpism.” The co-hosts, and the editorial, consider the situation we all face
after Trump’s second election. In particular, they discuss the current lack of a concerted resistance, the elected
Democrats who are toying with collaboration, and what makes 2024 different from 2016. Additionally, they
consider the fragile state of the global situation and of American democracy.
An important aspect of their discussion is the need for a theoretical framework for understanding Trumpism to
be part of any resistance. They discuss how the rise of the split-ballot voters shows the need for a serious
conception of Trumpism to undergird any serious mass resistance
Plus current-events segment: the fall of Assad and the bombshell events in Syria. Almost everyone was taken
aback by these developments, the co-hosts included, and they consider how this situation is still in flux.
