Epoch of Incredulity
The Epoch of Incredulity
Here in the Boston Commune, we interpret the tumultuous churn of modernity through a Marxist lens. Episodes alternate between analyses of current events -- from the hyperlocal to the international -- and narrations of theoretical texts by communists and anti-imperialists the world over. This project was birthed in a mental health working group during the pandemic and continues in true DIY fashion, without any advertisements or monetization (save for a few generous patrons). Hard to believe, we know; for it is, after all, the Epoch of Incredulity.#Marx #Lenin #Mao #Socialism #Communism

With the recent hearings on "Anarchist violence," The Epoch explores the machinations and manifestations of Fascism, as well as the Anti-Fascist forces that fight against it. We highlight Clara Zetkin and the Comintern's detailing of the movement as we lay out its beginnings with Mussolini, and his March on Rome. We dig through Zetkin's Fighting Fascism to investigate the tactics The Left can use...
Episode 7 - They Don't Care 31.07.2020 1:05:02
This week on The Epoch we deliver our first hour long episode. Things open with some brief Elon Musk talk, and then move into a discussion of the dangerous possibilities of Ilhan Omar losing re-election, and the USPS shutting its doors. We spend a few minutes sending our solidarity to the protesters in Portland and Seattle (and around the world). Finally, we end on the grim realities of the DNC, a...
Episode 6 - "A Messy Episode" 23.07.2020 47:07
On this week's Epoch it's a sad bois chat, as Joe, Jesse, and Scott pay their respects to our fallen comrade, Michael Brooks, and discuss the importance of letting people make mistakes, guilty pleasures, and our favorite; corruption in the Massachusetts state government.

Episode 5 - The Death Episode or, "This one is kinda depressing" 16.07.2020 56:27
Content Warning: We explore the demiurges. As the death toll of COVID climbs, The Catholic church takes advantage of America, yet again. Amidst crisis, the Trump administration grants The Church a massive financial bail out, and that means American tax payers will flip the bill. We explore the history of The Church, its relationship to Capitalism, and of course, offer a solution; burn it all down....
Episode 4 - Slave Wages 10.07.2020 45:25
This week Joe, Kit, and Scott talk about American capitalist realism. The country's infrastructure is collapsing, but the stock market is making strides. The minimum wage has been stagnate for a decade, and overall wages have been stagnant for several decades but productivity has been sky rocketing. Hamilton is a highly entertaining piece of liberal cultural hegemony, but it's a Disney-fied take o...
Episode 3 - ACAB 02.07.2020 37:30
It's been a week. Nazis and cops marching together in front of the Massachusetts state house. Of course, we were there to yell them down. The online left is in disarray, we don't have many solutions to that. And lastly, Covid is still a thing, and bosses don't seem to care. please visit: comrade-rosie.org
Episode 2 - "Demons" -- Or, Why Government is Important 25.06.2020 34:27
How does government work? Can we hope to change the world through traditional means? Will it always be a forever culture war? What starts as a discussion of the structure and function of local government veers into lamentations over American's failed response to the COVID crisis. Our world's on fire, but that's the way the demons like it.
Episode 1 - "Brain Worms" 18.06.2020 34:57
Will DC ever be a state? What are the chances we'll get Mitch McConnell out of office? Are all elected officials boring? Which, if any, are free of "brain worms?" Joe, Kit, Scott and Jesse discuss on the first episode of Epoch of Incredulity.
