The core idea of this podcast comes from David Graeber, who wrote that our everyday life is mostly run on anarchism, and at the same time people believe that anarchism doesn’t work. One of these is wrong.
I hope to illuminate how our communities already depend on Mutual Aid, in big and small ways. I'll do that by excavating the historical events and cultural trends you already know about, but have never thought about in terms of anarchism.

124. The Early Quakers -- Kate Peters (English Revolution)
Kate Peters, author of Print Culture and the Early Quakers, joins me to discuss the Quakers, the last of the radical groups we're covering the English Revolution series. You can hear about how the Quakers can be seen as the end of political radicalism in the revolution, or alternately as a different form of radical organizing, as evidenced by William Penn's political declarations in the 1701 charter for Pennsylvania:

Customer Reviews
Discovers this one out of the blue
Really shows how day-to-day anarchism really does work and is pretty common sense amongst people
Compelling and Well Thought Out
Everyday Anarchism is a well done show. I was looking for a podcast on anarchism and stumbled into it and was not disappointed. Great interviews, we’ll researched and actually gives me a lot of hope. Too often we hear anarchists talk doom and gloom. But this show talks hope.
So valuable
Working my way through the back catalogue and grateful for this auditory way to learn that doesn’t assume knowledge like many books can. Thank you.
