Building democracy, Renters' Assemblies in PDX, Uber, and "Old Filth"
Bill Resnick is our host as the Mole take up these topics:

Reports from the Kurds in Syria and the Zapatistas in Mexico, how they achieved considerable autonomy from their government and are building societies that are bottom up democratic, gender equal, ecologically sustainable, but have a ways to go.

Renters fight back and the renter’s assemblies here in Portland.

How how movements to stop the rich from taking everything can win. 
 
How the sharing economy like Uber are bad for working people.

An introduction to the novelist Jane Gardem and her famous Trilogy Old Filth.

Today’s Mole music will feature songs that were really radical when written but were changed or reinterpreted to appear patriotic , like Bruce Springsteen’s "Born in the USA" and, believe it or not, the real national anthem, "America the Beautiful."
