Communist Revolutionary
Carl grew up in the ghettos of Baltimore. He has spent his life building the revolutionary movement deep within the ghettos and barrios. He knows the conditions and hopes of the people first hand.

Carl is a founding member of the Revolutionary Communist Party,USA. He has written a widely circulated critique of Black capitalism.
In 1984 and 1988, Carl Dix campaigned as an "anti-candidate" during the U.S. presidential election season--running against the notion that oppressed people could rely on the election arena to accomplish positive change.

He spoke out in defense of Alice Walker and the film Color Purple and in other controversies over the position of women. He is a strong supporter of womens reproductive choice and of the movement to defend womens clinics from attack.
Committed Internationalist
Carl Dix believes in world revolution. He is a staunch supporter of the Maoist peoples wars in Peru, Nepal and the Philippines. He has actively opposed U.S. imperialism starting with his resistance inside the U.S. military during the Vietnam war -- from his work with the African Liberation Support Committee of the 1970s, to his current opposition to U.S. threats around the world.

@ComradeFlorian31 Stalin was a fascist. Marx would have spit on his grave.

While I agree with the many who criticize Harold Channer & his interview techniques (i.e. frequently interrupting guests), give him credit for the variety of persons whom he sees fit to interview. In what other venue would you witness an hour-long serious in-depth interview with a leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party?

Fox News goofballs interview members of the RCP & other truly leftist groups on rare occasion. But Fox's aim in doing so is only to ridicule these groups.

worst host ever.....he's trying to hype it up but failing

[RayBobb]

I've seen several of these, and I have to say, in every single one of them, this interviewer shows himself to be a complete horse's ass. He constantly interrupts the guest as if what he has to say is more important when, in reality, it's obvious that he has absolutely no idea what the hell he is talking about. "Robots"? "The labor theory of value means that technology has no intrinsic worth"? What an insane bastard.

Production is STILL primarily a collective process, so it's impossible for everyone to just "own" there own means of production.

[DistantLover666]

too bad he never learned capitalism/jews created communism/socialism and even backed Marx...

[hypnofan35]

The status quo is almost like a giant boulder in the road to change. People and their personalities more or less define the status quo. More biased folks seem to believe in something like slaves and masters. You have to figure that people will always be selfish to a fault and take as much as they can for theirselves and "their group", leaving less for "the lower caste". Breaking the barrier between castes is a grounds for war and status paranoia with deadly action.

Mr. Dix is quite courageous. i know i was trying to avoid a tour in Viet Nam myself. It is difficult to avoid the big biases of big biz and big gov. They want to believe their "inferiors" are there to die for their self serving beliefs.  i don't even know what the economic interest was over there. They certainly were ready to spend lives in going forward with the big investment. Don't have kids and then there will be less reasons for war. War is something that is always brewing.
