Preview of Part 2 in which we talk more with Jarrod and Zhana about the pitfalls of performatively moving on from identity politics, the Bukele-prison model of the fascist future, the historical anti-revolutionary basis of the 1798 Enemy Aliens Act, how a union protection racket in Chavez's Venezuela became the gang Trumpists believed were poised to takeover major metro regions of the United States, and why we should've been siding with the "woke left" all along.

Jarrod and Zhana return to talk about their new book "Skyscraper Jails: The Abolitionist Fight Against Jail Expansion in New York City"! We look at how the liberal apparatus used identity politics and divert the abolitionist movement to expand incarceration, and check in how the De Blasio-era plan to closer rikers and replace it with four "community" "justice hubs" has fared under the anti-Woke era of the Adams administration. Lastly, we talk about the the recent "Wildcat" CO strike in state prisons as a broader effort to roll back the reforms of the BLM and other anticarceral struggles, as a preview of the dark plans for expanded incarceration of the Trump 2.0 In part 2 of the episode we talk about the counter-revolutoinary history of Tren de Aragua and the Enemy Aliens Act of 1798. to hear it, support the show at http://patreon.com/theantifada BUY the book from Haymarket: https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2454-skyscraper-jails Adams on new Manhattan jail developments: https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/politics/2025/01/18/rikers-manhattan-jail-contract More info on MH jail redesign: https://newyorkyimby.com/2025/01/new-preliminary-renderings-revealed-for-manhattan-detention-center-at-124-125-white-street-in-chinatown-manhattan.html Jarrod on upstate prison strike: https://truthout.org/articles/nys-prison-guard-strike-has-roots-in-decades-of-racialized-deindustrialization/ Aziz Rana on Consitutional Crisis: https://newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/constitutional-collapse Our early episode with Nadja Guyot from No New Jails: https://www.patreon.com/posts/ep-69-abolish-w-30401262 Song: Cock Sparrer - Out on an Island
