The podcast episodes discuss how racial capitalism operates through various mechanisms, including plantation agriculture, vigilante violence against workers, and the use of racism to suppress labor movements.

For example, the episode 'Plantationocene' examines how the concept of the 'Plantationocene' critiques the Anthropocene by highlighting the role of plantation agriculture, racial capitalism, and exploitation in driving ecological devastation.

Similarly, the episode 'Episode 256 - Capital's Terrorists' explores how the Ku Klux Klan and other vigilante groups acted as employers' associations to suppress labor unrest and maintain control over Black workers in the post-Civil War era through tactics like kidnappings, whippings, and lynchings.
