The Regrettable Century

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 Marxist salvage project capable of putting up a good fight as the world burns around us. A clean, honest, and unsentimental melancholy is required; we are cultivating one and would like to share it with you.

PATREON TEASER: Disaster Nationalism


We read Richard Seymour's Article from Salvage Quarterly about Disaster Nationalism and talked about it. Tune in to hear about  the Chad Nationalism’ of ‘sexy’, ‘dangerous’, gym-hitting boys, zaddy fascism, and listen while we parse rightisms and talk about how Trump and the GOP (still) aren't fascists.
