We are back with our first episode of 2023! This edition of Coffee with Comrades features a dialogue with my dear friend and comrade, Caleb Wexler. Our conversation is pretty wide-ranging. We spend the first half of the episode talking about Caleb's housing cooperative—how it runs, how they make decisions, and what it looks like to exist in the liminal space between our contemporary housing hellscape and the better tomorrow we're all dreaming of and fighting for. In the second half of the episode, we speak at length about two of the best works of media that came out in 2022: Citizen Sleeper and Andor. Fair warning, we spend a good chunk of time delving into spoilers in those latter sections, so be sure to check out the time-stamps below!

I recently sat down with the one and only Shane Burley to talk about his new edited anthology, No Pasarán: Dispatches from a World in Crisis. The book is a collection of essays by and interviews with antifascists: community-organizers, researchers, journalists, artists, and more. Shane and I have a pretty wide-ranging dialogue, touching on violence, prefiguration, the so-called "meme alibi," the history of antifascism, and a whole helluva lot more.
