To be clear, I’m not implying that it’s impossible to be a sincere class traitor, but imagine if Engels never told anyone his dad owned a factory

Stay tuned for more info on Joseph Campbell (talk about lol CIA!) Belden’s stint as KPFA news director in the early 1970s.

Also: how “independent” Pacifica Radio/KPFA in Berkeley was in many respects the direct forerunner of today’s spookyleft podcast ecosystem

maybe Brace was just rebelling against his dad’s apathy towards obscure foreign communist movements and his belief that media orgs should possess a “built-in, shock-proof shit detector”?
