As we slide into the end of our third season, we have a treat for all of you. On the eve of the 250th anniversary of the founding of this uniquely diabolical country known as the United States, we invited on some fine folks who have inspired us for quite some time for an Ecumenical Council of Christian Leftists: the fine folks from Red Star Ministry. Can anarchists and Maoists get along? (Yes, quite well actually.) Christian Chiakulas and Hildegard Rachmaninoff come for an amazing discussion on the state of The Christian Left in America, the nature of solidarity, and the power of propaganda. It was truly a delight to have the on!
