Welcome, dear listener, to the 10th(!) episode of Reeducate With Me, which is also the last episode of Season 1. I'm rounding off this initial season with an episode about the dominant economy in our society: capitalism. I talk about the history and development of capitalism, why it's not so great, and imagine what a world without it would look like. If you're not ready to set the table and eat the rich by the end of it I'll be surprised.

Hello! I hope that you are well and ready to relearn and reevaluate yet another institution within Western society, In this episode I speak about the family, one of the biggest socialising forces we have, and also one of the biggest sources of community and identity. I discuss the rights of people who carry babies, challenge 'traditional' family structures and celebrate chosen families and the differences we all have.

CW: One part of this episode discusses abortion (10.05-18.00)

Welcome to Episode 8 of the podcast! This week I look at the military as a social institution, interrogating the historical structures of the U.S and UK armed forces, which have roots in colonialism and white supremacy, and using an example of demilitarisation to imagine what a future without unnecessary warfare could look like.

This week I speak about the corrupt police force in the UK, from institutional racism to over-policing of protest groups, the police have shown that they cannot keep our communities safe, but only put them in more danger. How can we change this?
