#160: A Nation of Shopkeepers (ft. Dan Evans)
"A Nation of Shopkeepers explores the unstoppable rise of the petite-bourgeoisie, one of the most powerful, but underexplored, classes in modern society."
Our discussion with Dan covers:
Stalled social mobility and bullshit jobs, who the petite-bourgeoisie are (traditional & new), the threat of losing social status and Dan pushes back against the idea of the "99%".
We also cover definitions of class, class boundaries and class as culture.

#157: Negative Philosophy, Utopia and Contradictions (ft. Bill Cashmore)
"We Hear Only Ourselves is a study of utopia and its contradictions. If a future beyond capitalism cannot be imagined, what is the place of utopia today? The answer, Cashmore argues, lies beyond either idle speculation or merely hopeful optimism. We Hear Only Ourselves seeks a concept of utopia which is strengthened, not undermined, by its contradictions. From the dialectics of the Frankfurt School to the energetics of resistance in the writings of the Black Panthers, this book draws on a wide range of thought to offer a new concept of utopia, one adequate for our present moment."

#156: Here Be Monsters - How to Fight Capitalism Instead of Each Other (ft. Rhyd Wildemuth)
Is identity based politics a weapon that has been used to 'divide and conquer' the left? We are joined by the author of the rather spicy book 'Here Be Monsters'.
We discuss the suppression of class understanding, the consequences of organizing around identity, and the revealing use of identity based language by Goldman Sachs, the CIA and the US military: a few players can change but the game must stay the same.
Rhyd makes the case for organizing around shared material conditions and the power of unlikely friendships that come from such struggles.
"Rhyd Wildermuth reveals the roots of current identity conflicts and political contradictions in feminism, anti-racist theory, Marxism, Frankfurt School theorists, and the many other leftist attempts to put the world back into balance."

Customer Reviews
Very insightful and resourceful
A great resource for figuring out how to get out of your own head and into your community
I love listening to this while at work
I enjoy this podcast so much! The discourse is great and they cover a wide variety of topics I find fascinating. They give varying perspectives and talk about topics that I feel other people don’t. It has given me hope that other people share my perspectives and has helped to motivate me to try to find ways to change to help improve the world we live in.
Very important podcast
Important information we all need to know.
Thank you!
