    Breaking the Spell of Capitalist Realism w/ Locust Review: Irrealist Praxis & Art

    We talk with Adam and Tish Turl from the Locust Review quarterly. We  discuss the founding and purpose of Locust Review, the theory of  Critical Irrealism, and their ever-growing installation in The Born  Again Labor Museum. Adam and Tish are longtime friends of the acid left  so this is a fun episode filled with laughs. We also speculate what a  left wing response to Q might be,  talk fan fiction, share fever dreams  and tips for agitating at the workplace.
