I wish I was drunk or high while watching that. Unfortunately, I was neither. Watching two elderly bourgeois party members argue about who's the most moderate while shouting at each other and not making good points (even when there were good points they could make that would serve them)... oi.
Working through Blackshirts and Reds by Michael Parenti, and holy fuck is it a great book.
Shout-out to that book The End of History that proposes liberal capitalism as the end of human development and encourages the idea of things staying this specific way forever. It seems insanely unimaginative to me that people actually believe this, let alone LIKE it. What happened to always looking to the future and the next great thing? Why would you want stasis forever?
Horror Vanguard:
Horror Vanguard is a podcast about analyzing horror films from a leftist perspective to look at the messages they have to say about our current world and lived experiences under capitalism flavored by white supremacy and patriarchy. Shout out to my favorite episode so far, A Slasher in the Panopticon, which looks at Carpenter's Halloween as a dialogue about the nature of suburbia as a bourgeois construct and the nature of policing.

Popular Opinion: Car culture, as a necessity in so many parts of the world now, sucks, and if it weren't for many different things that capitalism's done to make it necessary it wouldn't be viewed as normal at all.
Hey-o. I'm new-ish to anarchism, after having been a ML for a while. I'm currently working through a ton of theory but I wanted to ask how people get involved? What are good organizing options? I've been looking into the IWW, so far.
