The Regrettable Century
Chris, Kevin, Jason, & Ben
Fréquence : 1 épisode/8j. Total Éps: 305

The old forms of the Left are moribund and the new forms are stupid. We're making a podcast that discusses the need to organize a Dialectical Pessimism and develop a salvage project capable of sparking a new workers' movement for socialism. A clean, honest, and unsentimental melancholy is required; we are cultivating one and would like to share it with you.
“The challenge of modernity is to live without illusions and without becoming disillusioned. I’m a pessimist because of intelligence, but an optimist because of will.”
-- Antonio Gramsci

lundi 16 mai 2022 • Durée 01:25:00
This week we are joined by Comrade Adam, a Lost Horizons alumnus of Red Library fame, to discuss what sort of dialogue can be had between Marxism and Buddhism.

We hope to continue touching on other faiths and their interaction and overlap with the emancipatory project.

The One Where We Talk About Everything That Is Wrong
Saison 4 · Épisode 10
lundi 21 mars 2022 • Durée 01:22:05
Here is about an hour's worth of bonus content recorded before our last episode of No Royal Road. We were just riffing about neoliberalism, left delusions, anti-imperialism, paleo-cons, liberals, conservatism, inflation, Volcker Shock, internet tankies, and a bunch of other things we thought might be worth recording. So, we hit record.
Enjoy.
