Pessimism of the Intellect, Pessimism of the Will
from The Regrettable Century · host Chris, Kevin, Jason, and Jenny.
This week we discuss our orientation as Revolutionary Pessimists. We believe that humanity is worth saving, but were not so sure that is going to work out. A clear headed, sober, pessimistic orientation is necessary to continue to organize as socialists. We must be ready to salvage the burnt out husk of our planet and build an egalitarian future in the irradiated post apocalyptic deserts. A strategy for ruination is necessary. https://www.patreon.com/theregrettablecentury Salvage Quarterly http://salvage.zone/in-print/salvage-perspectives-1-amid-this-stony-rubbish/ For a Marxism Without Guarantees http://www.agpolpsy.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Hall-For-a-Marxism-Without-Guarantees.pdf?fbclid=IwAR2zkfhtBHg_j1-YBQ3eCpPUXCnKeg0FxeEq5Y3KWN4Fqdf5lVCGwhEBsqs Send us a message (sorry we can't respond on here).
