Rev Left Radio

Do you like political philosophy? Do you like science fiction and fantasy? Do you like breaking down the artificial cultural and intellectual barriers between the two? Then we have a treat for you!     This episode is a totally novel collaboration between our show, PoliTreks (a podcast which combines Trekky Fandom with cultural and political analysis), Benjanun Sriduangkaew and J-Moufawad Paul (co-authors of Methods Devour Themselves).     DESCRIPTION OF THE BOOK: "Methods Devour Themselves is a dialogue between fiction and non-fiction. Inspired by Quentin Meillassoux's Science Fiction and Extro-Science Fiction that was paired with an Isaac Asimov short story, this book examines the ways in which stories can provoke philosophical interventions and philosophical essays can provoke stories. Alternating between Benjanun Sriduangkaew's fiction and J. Moufawad-Paul's non-fiction, Methods Devour Themselves is an interstitial project that brings fiction and essay into a unique, avant-garde whole."     Check out the book here: http://www.zero-books.net/books/methods-devour-themselves  Check out PoliTreks here: http://www.thetricordertransmissions.com/politreks.php

Austin Hayden Smidt, a political philosopher and creative powerhouse, dives into the intriguing realms of post-structuralism, postmodernism, and metamodernism. He discusses how these philosophies intersect with leftist thought and critiques capitalism. The conversation touches on liberation theology, the emotional challenges of late capitalism, and the resurgence of sincerity in art. Smidt also explores the nuances of post-left anarchism and the role of social media in shaping our identities, urging for a synthesis that can drive effective social change.

Diogo and Luiza, two professors from Brazil and members of “Professores Contra o Escola Sem Partido” (PCESP) join Breht to talk about the current state of Brazilian politics, the election of Bolsonaro, Fascism, Brazilian memory, the parallels between Brazil and the US, the importance of international solidarity, and what leftists abroad can do to assist our Brazilian comrades.
