The Antifada

We look back at the revolutionary dropout cultures of 1960s and 2000s, a time when middle class youth fled the suburbs to be free in urban bohemia. We look at the popular anarchist ideas and practices during these times alongside the relationship between counterculture, the left, and liberation movements.

Armed Love is a series about the revolutionary subculture of the sixties. Episode one was an interview with Peter Coyote, and episode 2 was a discussion of Charles Manson and the Lyman Family, and episode 3 an interview with Black Mask and Up Against the Wall founder Ben Morea: Part 1, Part 2

Part two of Sean and Varn's extended discussion on sovereign debt ! This time we dive into the pre-history of of the present moment, how the New York City fiscal crisis of 1974-75 and subsequent banker's coup presaged a new 'post-industrial' and financialized regime of accumulation often called neoliberalism. And if debt crises are a signal of the rise of a new political-economic order, what sort of world does the current crisis presage?
