Episode 179: “No Pasarán!” ft. Shane Burley

by Coffee with ComradesPosted on Comments are Disabled

I recently sat down with the one and only Shane Burley to talk about his new edited anthology, No Pasarán: Dispatches from a World in Crisis. The book is a collection of essays by and interviews with antifascists: community-organizers, researchers, journalists, artists, and more. Shane and I have a pretty wide-ranging dialogue, touching on violence, prefiguration, the so-called “meme alibi,” the history of antifascism, and a whole helluva lot more.

James Yeoman, author of Print Culture and the Formation of the Anarchist Movement in Spain, 1890-1915 joins me to talk about propaganda by the deed, violence, terror, education, and the anarchist printing press in Spain at the turn of the twentieth century. 

Episode 177: “Kin-Making in Disaster’s Wake” ft. Jimmy Dunson

by Coffee with ComradesPosted on Comments are Disabled

I recently sat down with my dear friend and comrade, Jimmy Dunson, who put together an anthology on mutual aid, disaster relief, and building dual-power called Building Power While the Lights Are Out. The anthology is gripping and brilliant and the two of us have a wide-ranging conversation on a number of the essays contained within the anthology. We talk about mutual aid as the process of making kin, the ways mutual aid is becoming less of a niche thing that just anarchists dressed all in black do, and the ways we can build dual-power both before and after a natural disaster.
