Fucking Cancelled is a socialist podcast from Montreal for people who dream of a left grounded in solidarity, freedom, and responsibility rather than dysfunction, coercion, and punishment. We critique cancel culture and identitarianism from a principled left-wing position, platform important thinkers and artists, and shoot the shit about what’s going on in the world.
The hosts of Fucking Cancelled are Clementine Morrigan and Jay Lesoleil.

Hopelessness Can Turn to Hope Pretty Quick with Eric Blanc – Fucking Cancelled
In Episode 88 we’re joined by Eric Blanc, author of We Are the Union: How Worker-to-Worker Organizing is Revitalizing Labor and Winning Big. We talk about the importance of unions in confronting the many problems of this dystopian timeline and how the model of worker-to-worker unionism is necessary to scale up unionization and create an effective labour movement. We also discuss the recent uptick in labour organizing in North America, including high-profile union drives at Starbucks and Amazon, and what workers are doing to win these struggles. We finish off with a little discussion of Young Cardamom, AKA Zohran Mamdani, mayor-elect of New York City.Show NotesEric’s book We Are the UnionEric’s Substack, laborpolitics.comEric’s InstagramThe Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC)Zohran Mamdani’s Victory Points the Way Forward, by Eric Blanc, in JacobinMore articles by Eric Blanc in JacobinAn update on the Amazon situation in QuebecLinksInstagramMerchfuckingcancelled.comclementinemorrigan.comjaylesoleil.comTheme songFucking Cancelled has no ads and is a supported by our listeners.
