WWKMD?, Episode 5: Marx Meets the Immigration Raid: Labor, Fear, and the State

This episode imagines Karl Marx analyzing modern immigration raids, arguing they function less as border control and more as a tool for labor management—keeping wages low and workers compliant through fear and precariousness.

It traces how raids divide the working class, protect capital’s interests, and create contradictions in a system that relies on but rejects undocumented labor, while suggesting solidarity could alter the dynamic.
