This Wreckage

On the one-year anniversary of the media spectacle that was the Jan 6 Capitol Hill 'insurrection,' the Antifada crew look back on what happened on that fateful day, how it compared to the George Floyd uprising, what's going on with liberal democracy, and how the anti-capitalist left should relate to all of it.

Outro song: Sick of it all - Insurrection

After the election of self-described libertarian socialist Gabriel Boric, we talk to Isabel from the Valparaiso anarchist assembly and Rara Senal anarchafeminist podcast network about the election, constitutional referendum, and what, if anything, these things have to do with the massive uprising in Chile in 2019. We also discuss the relationship of indigenous groups to the new constitution, the status of political prisoners, and the many riot dogs (and other animals) of Chile.

We continue our discussion of Mindfuckers: The Rise of Acid Fascism with the story of the Lyman Family--a folk music collective turned into a creepy cult of astrology-obsessed devotees to a toothless harmonica-playing manchild. Afterwards we discuss cults today--why they are so intriguing in popular culture yet seem to be on the decline. Finally we talk about acid. If it's a CIA psyop, does that mean we shouldn't take it?

Were the Manson and Lyman families apocalyptic cults, misunderstood revolutionaries, or media distortions created to delegitimize the revolutionary communalism of the '60s? Parallax Views host JG Michael joins us to discuss Mindfuckers: The Rise of Acid Fascism, a collection of early-'70s Rolling Stone Magazine articles, to ponder cultism, psychedelic culture, hippy racism, The Beatles, and much more.
