Srsly Wrong
Anarchist, anti-sectarian podcast that grew out of the host's experiences with the Occupy movement and the dysfunctional sectarianism that ultimately caused it to fall apart. Chill, wholesome, and absurdly well edited, with episodes typically consisting of the hosts Shawn and Aaron discussing theory interspersed with silly skits that demonstrate that theory.
Their Library Socialism series is probably their best stuff and a great starting point for understanding their style.
They also host a book club that's currently going through a series of essays each week to make it easier for people to jump in, and anyone's welcome to join if they request an invite.
They also have an outstanding episode on prison abolition. It's far better than most of the prison abolition literature I've found, because it squarely addresses the "well what about murderers/other violent criminals" question and goes into significant detail about how an alternative justice system could function. Calling for such a radical change is far more effective when you talk about how to do things better, not just the problems with the current system.
where would i go to ask for an invite?
DM me on the Discord and I'll try to nab one. Or you can subscribe to their Patreon to not need a current member of the book club to vouch for you.
Hey I know this is a shot in the dark but can I get an invite?
Sent to your DM's.
Thank you, + for getting for getting back to me!
love this one. when people are like, "well what does a utopia look like" they take you there (or dystopia) in a fun way.
