This episode is a deep dive into what it means to build prefigurative institutions that can help us actualize the transition to a better society. Special guest Anark and the Wrong Boys explore how our organizations should be structured, the pitfalls we might face, and the difficult questions that might come along the way.

Correction: A previous version of this episode included the statement that Emiliano Zapata was a committed anarchist. Zapata was was influenced by Ricardo Flores Magón and the Magonistas, who were anarchists, but was not an anarchist himself.

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.
