In this week's episode, Dr. Fraad discusses the prevalence of sexual assault allegations and crimes committed by powerful and wealthy men. The news is filled with the names of famously accused rapists: Donald Trump, Puff Daddy, Weinstein, Cosby, Epstein, etc. The #MeToo movement allows them to be exposed. This podcast explores the question of why widespread rape is a perk of monied powerful men.

In this week's episode, Dr. Fraad explores why and how a convicted felon who was found liable for sexual assault was chosen to lead America. Americans and particularly white American men are frightened. They have lost family wages and their wives as well. White women have lost the lifetime financial support of their domestic labor and child care. Americans have no Left Party to explain their lesser lives. Why not? This podcast begins to explain it.

In this episode, Dr. Fraad discusses the history of childhood. To quote the most well-known historian of childhood, Lloyd deMause, "The history of childhood is a nightmare from which we have only begun to awaken." We all begin life as children. Our history must be claimed. Feudalism and capitalism cast children as private property to use, abuse, exploit, or love. This podcast explores our common history through a Marxist lens. In case we need the footnote it follows: Lloyd deMause The History of Childhood. Psychohistory Press, New York. 1974

In this episode Dr. Fraad discusses how the American Empire is Falling. That truth which is recognized throughout the rest of the world and in U.S. financial circles, is denied across America. However, the evidence cannot be denied. Where the denial expresses itself most is in "Spirit Level Afflictions". Glaring economic and social inequality, distrust between people, addiction, mental illness, lowered life expectancy, birth rate decline, suicide, homicide, imprisonment rates, and much more. All signs of a society in deep turmoil.

In this episode, Dr. Fraad juxtaposes our capitalist system with sexual assault. Capitalist exploitation, like rape, requires a lack of connection and empathy for the workers one exploits. Capitalism encourages domination and disconnection from workers' human needs and wants. The rapist does the same. Rapists refuse to see their victim as a fellow human but only as an object to be exploited and dominated. While the majority of rape victims are women 10 percent are men yet another remnant of patriarchy.

In 2009 Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett wrote their best-selling book, "The Spirit Level" which showed how economic inequality spawned extensive social suffering.
Recently those authors revisited the United States 15 years later, and every aspect of the social problems referenced in their work has increased with the increase of inequality. They elide capitalism's leading role in delivering misery. I do not evade it.

There is a worldwide revolution that is already happening. It’s in the family, the primary site of creating and sustaining human life. Just as the nuclear family replaced the feudal family, new family forms are replacing the nuclear family as marriage breaks apart and children are born.

Donald Trump has morphed from a transgressive man into a "Totem", a symbol and embodiment of the rage of Americans at the erosion of white male privilege, and the economic and social devaluation of the their lives. He embodies the retribution for the ravages of capitalism.

[S07 E10] The Family Does It Work? Did It Ever?
The family is a sacred cow, It is presented as instinctual, and eternal. It isn't. Family is breaking down. It's time to study it, question it, and create new alternatives and study the successful alternatives whose stories have been repressed. If we do, we can find ways to empower and free each other on every level.
