Srsly Wrong

This week, the Wrong Boys team up with the crew from Thiiird Waves to think together about the complexities of workplace and income dynamics and radical politics, touching on the ethics of taking job offers with corporate monopolies, the idea of ‘selling out’, the tensions between collective responsibilities and individual choices, ways in which power can corrupt plans to change things from the inside, and the structure of rejecting unjust orders.

Are human beings innately special little angel babies? “Deep Down” are we good or evil? What does the corrupting influence of power have to do with it? Should we tell loving lies? Does power make us lie even to ourselves about our own lies? All these subjects and more, in this special episode of SRSLY WRONG, for our Donor Community!

Anark, a special guest, joins the Wrong Boys to discuss building prefigurative institutions, the importance of aligning means and ends, the power of experiential knowledge, the concept of revolutionary prefiguration, the role of councils and consensus processes, the focus of Cooperation Jackson on communalism and prefiguration, challenges of building alternative systems, intelligence organizations and decentralization of power, the application of prefiguration in creating horizontal societies, political activism and materialism.

The Wrong Boys are joined by David Wengrow to talk about changing human history (starting with the past) and his new book, co-authored with the late David Graeber, on myths about the origins of human society, why both Hobbes and Rousseau are wrong, and why human history may be less set in stone, and more full of playful, hopeful possibilities, than we tend to assume.Support our show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/srslywrong Links:Buy “The Dawn of Everything”: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/616885/the-dawn-of-everything-by-david-graeber-and-david-wengrow/9780771049828How to Change the Course of Human History: https://www.eurozine.com/change-course-human-history/Hiding in Plain Sight: Democracy’s indigenous origins in the Americas: https://www.laphamsquarterly.org/democracy/hiding-plain-sightGraeber and Wengrow on the Myth of the Stupid Savage (Video – 2019): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvUzdJSK4x8David Graeber & David Wengrow Teach-Out (Video – 2018): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNbWlD-lqYQGraeber/Wengrow: Paleolithic Politics & Why It Still Matters (Video – 2015): https://vimeo.com/145285143Slavery and Its Rejection Among Foragers on the Pacific Coast of North America: A Case of Schismogenesis?
