This Wreckage

Pavlos stays after-hours to indulge our wildest fantasies with his illicit tales of sultry Syntagma street action. The Hellenic hunk's voyeuristic remembrances of battles with the police, the parliament, and the KKE, gets us too hot to last the full 30 minutes, and the last part of the episode we shamefully walk back from our fetishistic follies.

Psychedelic Bordigist, Pavlos Roufos (@PRoufos), joins us to talk about the years leading up to, the proximate causes of, and the aftermath of the Greece sovereign debt crisis.

How the post-war dictatorial regime cared more about repressing the left than economic development. How the social-democratic PASOK became more than just a party, but the agents behind both Keynesian and Neoliberal reforms. How entering the Eurozone ended up going in such a shitty direction for Greece and the rest of the PIIGS.

Most importantly: we talk about the lessons from years of street actions, general strikes and mutual aid and why it was that Syriza, a parliamentary leftish formation, arose and ultimately failed to break with austerity and what that means for the future of the global working class movement.

Antifascist activist Jay Firestone joins us to elaborate on his three month infiltration of New York’s Alt Right including Daily Stormer, TRS, and the New York Forum. He describes his motivations for the project (communism), his take on how to fight white nationalism, and tells us some nixed title ideas. We close the episode with a discussion of the limits of antifascism and voting and what we can do instead.
