Srsly Wrong

Nothing lays bare the stark unfreedom of the wage labor system quite like a bleak monday morning. A day that represents monotony, drudgery, and the end of fun. Many say that it can’t be helped, that mondays are inevitable. But is that really true? Or is a world without mondays actually possible?

The King is dead, but the revolution is just getting started. Robespierre and the Jacobins have a plan: using the means of State Terror, they will create a Republic of Virtue, complete with new cults, new calendars, new clocks, and shiny new revolutionary Citizens.  The Wrong Boys finish their look at the French Revolution with a look at the complex relationship between Terror, Virtue, and Trauma.

Why do the rich have so much influence over policy? Is it all because of corporations lobbying politicians? Or is there a more fundamental dynamic at play — one that activists can use to their benefit? Michael Schwartz and Kevin A. Young (co-authors of “Levers of Power: How the 1% Rules and What the 99% Can Do About It”) join us to discuss how the wealthy employ capital strikes and the logic of ‘business confidence’ to make sure that most good policies never get passed.

This formerly patron-only episode is now up for all King Louis XVI of France was beheaded by guillotine on January 21, 1793 – a pivotal event in (the often quite unsafe) birth of modern liberal democracy. In part one of our look at the French Revolution, the Wrong Boys examine the events leading up to the death of the king (and the birth of the French First Republic), and try to grapple with what these events mean today for those of us who want to make the world a better place.

For centuries political chartographers have pondered the question – What is the true shape of politics? A line from left to right? Or maybe a square with four quadrants? Or is it, perhaps, something far more strange than any of us can imagine?
