Trillbilly Worker's Party

This one's got a little something for everyone. We talk about electoralism, the danger of using mass media to define our movements and strategies, the potential for a socialist party, and centrally planned agriculture.

We discuss most of the events of this past week, and put a bow on it with details of Tarence's recent canoe trip. This one's got lots of tree philosophy.

On the eve of a daring canoe trip, we talk with our buddy Alex Desha about immigration, concentration camps, the general dissolution of society, and a really good essay by John Berger about Hieronymous Bosch and Subcomandante Marcos. You can find that essay here: https://www.theguardian.com/books/1999/nov/20/books.guardianreview

It was an interesting Election Day here in Kentucky.

In this one we teach you how to fight in the spiritual battle between heaven and hell!!

We argue that it's time for appalachian nonprofits to go the way of the dinosaurs and chimney sweeps. That's how this idiom works right

Appalachia: exceptional or nah? We attempt to tackle this burning question, along with providing some analysis on the recent loss of coal baron Don Blankenship and what it ~means~. But before we get started on all that, we take a little dive into our local newspaper's most famous segment: Speak Your Piece.
