🎙️ Episode 2 – Human Needs Are Rights, Not Privileges

Season 1: The 13 Principles of Leftism

Why do we treat healthcare, housing, and food like luxuries when they’re the bare minimum for survival?

In this powerful episode, Haylee Morgan breaks down how capitalism turns our most basic needs into profit pipelines — and why millions of people suffer so a few can get richer. From privatized healthcare and housing markets to food insecurity and student debt, this episode exposes the brutal truth: in the U.S., your right to live depends on your ability to pay.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

We explore real-world alternatives — from universal healthcare in Canada to public housing in Vienna — and imagine what a system rooted in dignity could look like.

📌 Topics Covered:

– Why survival is sold as a product in capitalism

– The business model behind medical debt, evictions, and food scarcity

– What other countries get right — and what the U.S. refuses to learn

– How we build a world where every need is guaranteed

✊ You deserve everything this system says you don’t.

🔥 Episode Summary:

In this episode, we take a blowtorch to one of the far right’s favorite lies: that they are the true patriots.

We dig into how the left—not the flag-waving authoritarians—are the ones actually fighting to make American democracy real. From civil rights to labor movements, from trans liberation to anti-capitalist organizing, leftists have always been the ones pushing this country to live up to its so-called ideals.

If you’ve ever been told the left “hates America,” this one’s for you.
