When first hearing about anarchy and its aspirations, many people dismiss it as utopian, dangerous, or impossible. If you're an anarchist, you've probably come across this knee-jerk reaction lots of folks seem to have when initially coming into contact with the ideas. It’s in these moments I’m reminded of a quote attributed to Mikhail Bakunin: “By striving to do the impossible, man has always achi...

2020 has been a wild ride, and at the moment things don’t seem to be cooling down. In this episode, we focus on a topic the presidential debates did not cover, gun control, and firearm freedom. With a looming threat of a right-wing coup, or of a presidential administration who will inevitably be hostile to firearm freedom, this conversation is especially timely. We also discuss censorship, free sp...

As a philosophy and as a practice, Anarchism has always had a special interest in the topic of education. Just as we call into question the social role of police or question what it means to be a citizen, so do we critique the role of a teacher or what it means to be a student. Power dynamics pervade in our society, manifesting in overt and subtle ways with varying degrees of obviousness to each i...
