On this week’s edition of Coffee with Comrades, we sit down with folk musician Clifton Hicks. But, first up, some current events:

• Erik Prince used the rise of Trump to make an improbable comeback.
• Unicorn Riot has exposed a network of Neo-Nazis in the US military.
• Homeland security used a private intelligence firm to monitor family separation protests.
• No More Deaths activists are once more on trial.
• A UK activist served a milkshake to a fascist.

We begin our month of media analysis by hosting an interview with Clifton Hicks, a folk musician from Tennessee. In this episode, we chat about the anti-war movement, conscientious objection, building banjos, and the history of folk music.
