Everyday Anarchism: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Graham Culbertson
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.

207. The Whiskey Rebellion - Brady Crytzer
The Whiskey Rebellion is mostly just an AP US history question these days. At the time, it was almost another American revolution, or even the first American Civil War, between east and west instead of north and south.History Brady Crytzer walks me through the Whiskey Rebellion, why it happened, and why it was about the questions of federal power, taxation, and sovereignty that are still dividing Americans.You can find more from Brady at his website: https://www.bradycrytzer.com/ Part of the Radicalism in the American Revolution series (maybe the end!)

206. Soccer, Argentina, and Anarchy -- Tomas Rothaus
Tomas Rothaus joins me to discuss his book Argentina, A Tale of Two Utopias: Anarchism, Soccer, Neoliberalism. We talk about the way that true soccer clubs are anarchic: they represent a community coming together and organizing around something. By contrast, billionaire-owned sports franchises are just corporate business. Tomas tells his story of being part of both anarchist and soccer organizing in Argentina, the amazing victories won against neoliberalism 25 years ago, and the rise of the new "anarcho-capitalist" regime in Argentina.Here's a link to the book: https://pmpress.org/product/argentina-a-tale-of-two-utopias-anarchism-soccer-neoliberalism

204. Tom Paine's Basic Income -- Alberto Tena-Camporesi
If money is just made up, can't we solve the problem of poverty by just giving people money? This radical idea feels new, but Thomas Paine proposed it as a revolutionary solution during both the US and French revolutions. Alberto Tena-Camporesi joins me to discuss Paine's radical idea, its relationship to current ideas about UBI, and why this idea just keeps coming up in radical (and right-wing) circles.You can find Alberto's work here: https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=FMpnSa8AAAAJ&hl=en

202. Against Money -- J.W. Mason and Arjun Jayadev

201. Five Years of Everyday Anarchism! -- Ruth Kinna
Ruth Kinna joins me for the Fifth Anniversary Episodes! First, an announcement: I wrote a book to be published by PM Press introducing everyday anarchism. No publication date yet, so more later on that front!Ruth and I discuss just what anarchy and anarchism is, and why anarchy is actually always all around us. This means that everything from Donald Trump to the Roman Empire are, in some key way, running on anarchy, and it means that attempts to eliminate anarchy from politics, from those of Hobbes and Plato to the US Constitution, will always fail.Thank you for listening!

200. Ann Leckie
For my 200th episode, I invited science fiction writer Ann Leckie to the show! Ann's novels are one of the original inspirations for the podcast. Ann has imagined worlds which are completely human, and yet totally different from the one we live in. Her works help me to remember that everything can be different, that another world is possible, and the future is unwritten.Here's Ann's website: https://annleckie.com/
