The Regrettable Century: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Chris, Jason, Kevin, Ben
The old forms of the Left are moribund and the new forms are stupid. We’re making a podcast that discusses the need to organize a Dialectical Pessimism and develop a salvage project capable of sparking a new workers’ movement for socialism. A clean, honest, and unsentimental melancholy is required; we are cultivating one and would like to share it with you.

Where is the Anti-War Movement? *Unlocked*
Given the recent Blue Wave/Tsunami/Armageddon/Sharknado (and given the continued reality constant war and absence of an antiwar movement) we felt like this episode might feel even more relevant now than it did when we recorded it back in August. So, we decided to unlock it for you. **** This week, (actually in August) two old veterans of about two and a half decades in the fight against half a dozen imperialist wars read and discussed an article about why there is not anti-war movement today.

Fascism? For what? (Part III of III)
This week the boys finish up the last section of Kritikpunkt's article Fascism? For What? We deal with the age old question, is fascism on the rise and if so why? From the article: "Hitler and his associates ruled by perverted means because they were evil, and with their malice they were able to win over their masses. Today there are evil people again, and they must not be allowed to take power, because then one would once again have to submit to non-democracy. Such is the theory of bourgeois anti-fascism. We consider this formula wrong, and we ask instead: what would a fascist regime actually have to offer the economy it would have to administer today?" https://kritikpunkt.com/fascism-for-what/
