Class Reduction is Bad Nov 27, 2020

Show notes

Last week on the show, we talked a lot about class and why we need to know about it. This week, we're talking about the shortcomings of ONLY talking about class. We're bringing you an episode full of ideas to complicate vulgar marxism and class reduction. If you want to know how capitalism works you also need some way of understanding intersection modes of oppression.

Psalty about voting Nov 13, 2020

Show notes

Dean and Matt were formed in the crucible of the evangelical counterculture of the Bush years and this has broken their brains significantly. In this episode, they talk through some of the radical Christian takes on voting from Christian anarchism and then see where those takes are at in 2020.

MAS is back! w/ Jim Hodgson Oct 23, 2020

Show notes

As you might remember, late in 2019 there was a monumentally terrible coup against Bolivia's extremely good president Evo Morales.
