New episode just dropped on The General Strike and Socialism! We discuss Sorel’s 1908 ‘Reflections on Violence’, in which he argues that the ‘mythic’ general strike is the true core of socialist thought and praxis. Check it! open.spotify.com/episode/2ozsyA…

@leftofphil is starting a new series on Marxism and Religion. We started with MLK. “America, you must be born again!” Check us out in the link below.

This episode is really so beautiful. Especially in light of the past few weeks in Minnesota. We reflect on King’s meaning of love, political praxis and spirituality, and what it means to take seriously King as both a socialist *and* religious actor. Hope y’all enjoy it!

Our very own @whitherutopia has a new interview out on his book! (Link below)

Great @leftofphil episode on Adam Smith, focusing rightly on his moral theory. pod.link/1544487624/epi…
