The Regrettable Century

91

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 salvage project capable of sparking a new workers' movement for socialism. A clean, honest, and unsentimental melancholy is required; we are cultivating one and would like to share it with you.

“The challenge of modernity is to live without illusions and without becoming disillusioned. I’m a pessimist because of intelligence, but an optimist because of will.”
 -- Antonio Gramsci

    Blah blah blah
    Recently came to your podcast - you guys are doing great work - love the stuff you are doing. Going through your catalog with great zeal, somewhat obsessively. You guys are my new para-social besties. Thank you.

    Young doomer hours?
    Still clinging to Marx? Maybe he was just wrong. These folks seem smart, I eagerly await their moving on to some better ideas.

    transcendent Marxism
    Marxism considering the human species-being. What does it need to thrive?
  • PunkHymns
    Incredible podcast
    Very fun, does a great job at explaining Marxist theory while making you feel less alienated for a brief hour. Would be cool if they set up a discord for their Patreon

    Revolutionary Pessimism
    or maybe it was revolutionary melancholy? I forget. It doesn’t matter, really, because the insightful analysis from the hosts is so good, so sharp, so revolutionary-minded, that you almost forget just how bad things currently are under capital’s yolk. If there’s any chance of a more equitable tomorrow, it’s from folks like the RC hosts ✊
