In what ways does living under a system of exploitation and hyper individualism affect our mental health? How does it augment our self image, and self worth? How does it shape the ways we value others, and what we all do with our time? What direction can our lives take when we're just struggling to survive? Can we even reach a state of self actualization and fulfillment without succumbing to the worst tendencies of the system? Kit returns to the Epoch to talk about this, Gender reveal fires, the manipulative nature of military recruitment, and more.

At age 33, Marxist–Leninist, Pan-Africanist, and Communist Revolutionary Thomas Sankara became the President of Republic of Upper Volta. After immediately launching vital social, ecological, and economic programs, he shed Upper Volta's French Colonial past and renamed the country, Burkina Faso ("Land of Incorruptible People"), where he rules from 1983 to 1987. A charismatic yet humble leader, Sankara was a virulent anti-imperialist, and believed in the self-sufficiency of his country, and his people, against western, and capitalist influences. On this Epoch, we discuss Sankara's legacy, his policies and their impact on Burkina Faso, and the Pan-African movement. Before that, we cover the final moments of the Markey/Kennedy primary race, and LE highlights the phenomenon of COVID songs.

Accelerationism. How do we define it? Can it be controlled? Is it the inevitable result of the compounding effects of Neoliberal capitalism, and is there any hope for the left to harness its forces for change? Or is humanity just along for the ride? Where will it end, and where does it lead us? This, the state of the Biden/Harris campaign, the DNC, Joe Kennedy, and more, this week on The Epoch of Incredulity.

Welcome back, you enlightened motherf//kers. This week's special episode will serve as your comprehensive introduction to The Electoral Epoch, a recurring segment in which Comrade Joe deconstructs the American Left's battle for elected representation against the corporate, PAC-funded, neoliberal establishment. We glimpse into the yawning chasm of unspeakable horrors that is electoralism. Amongst the handful of allies who emerge from the sludge in a tangle of leviathan tentacles: Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Cori Bush, and even the truck-driving mirage of Joshua Collins.

This week on The Epoch we deliver our first hour long episode. Things open with some brief Elon Musk talk, and then move into a discussion of the dangerous possibilities of Ilhan Omar losing re-election, and the USPS shutting its doors. We spend a few minutes sending our solidarity to the protesters in Portland and Seattle (and around the world). Finally, we end on the grim realities of the DNC, and try (and fail) to wrap it up on a lighter note; cat ownership.
