Antifascist Dad Podcast

I’ve been a big fan and appreciator of Matthew’s work over the years, and it’s been a real pleasure to listen to this podcast alongside his other vital work for Conspirituality. We need more antifascist dads! Thanks for the caring and intrepid work, Matthew.

We're living in massively unsettled times with oversimplified solutions on offer everywhere you listen. Matthew Remski's coverage here is more in-depth and careful than what you'll find on most podcasts. He manages to sound clarion moral calls without sounding preachy or dour. People might be surprised to find an anti-fascist voice so deeply saturated by kindness, but Remski seems to be fighting fascism precisely because he hopes for a kinder world. Just like so many anti-fascists ultimately do.

Matthew Remski is uncompromising in his politics, but his life experiences temper how he approaches them. The result is a distinctly “Dad” tone that adds depth and character to a leftist media sphere that sometimes lacks nuance. Give this a listen!

Being a parent is humbling, as you may have figured out by now too. One of the most alarming realizations I’ve had is that in order for our children to learn from the past and be on a trajectory that is secure and balanced, and mature, and based in values, we have to do more than ensure they are just being a good person. One of the biggest threats to them is letting them slip into “good “values that end up, predisposing them to authoritarian or fascist tendencies, as we have been learning over and over for the past hundred years. I’m grateful that authors like this are helping define what explicit techniques and tools and lessons can be helpful for protecting from these fascist tendencies and putting Our generation ahead on a better track than we inherited.
