Fucking Cancelled

If God’s law is to love one another radically, then the various forms of exile and dehumanization practised by human beings through the ages may constitute a kind of ‘cultural sin’, a deviation we keep coming back to over and over as a species because it feels good. Not only might this practice lead us further from love, and not only might it not even work to give us justice, but it might also inflict a moral injury upon all of us. In Episode 75 we’re joined by Juno Zavitz, student of divinity, former social worker, and owner of Aporrai Counselling, to discuss the theology of exile — as well as the epidemic of wreckerism sweeping through the nonprofit world.

Artisanal miners prospect for toxic rare-earth metals on the edges of huge corporate pit mines, alongside alien-looking metallophyte plants found nowhere else in the world. Cloak and dagger CIA manoeuvring from the Cold War reverberates into the present. Workers separated by oceans, empires and supply chains struggle to find ways to support each other. In Episode 74 we’re joined by our friend, artist Roger Peet, to talk about his extraordinary work building solidarity with miners in the Democratic Republic of Congo, his family ties to the Congolese uranium production that ultimately made American empire possible, and the possibility of using art to shed light on histories usually left in the shadows.

The title of this episode is borrowed from an exhibition of Roger’s, which was titled ‘Dig Up the Sun’.

In Episode 72, we’re joined by Cecilia Guerrero, an organizer in Nashville, Tennessee, helping to innovate a new generation of socialist movement-building deep in the American South. We discuss what it’s like organizing in Tennessee, the fantastic gains being made by the new network of organizations springing up there — including an unprecendented wildcat union of Uber and Lyft drivers — and the many lessons to be learned for socialists operating in such an environment.
