Beyond reflexive impotence and mental anguish, how do we find each other as comrades and begin the process of collective healing that rekindles the revolutionary spirit? This is the question Gareth Watkins invites us to consider, as Adam, Will, and Corey discuss his article "What Happened to the Communal Revolutionary Spirit?", focusing on the politics of friendship, misery, and collectivity through the work of The Invisible Committee and their 2007 manifesto. We discuss their work as advocating a sincere, intense, and anarchic form of communizing practice, through their theory of the communal, and the immediate possibilities of forming new kinds of affinities and friendships that revolutionize our relationship to the world rather than serving to reproduce it. All power to the communes!

The coronavirus pandemic, the deepening economic crash, dangerously divisive political responses, and exploding social tensions have thrown an already declining American capitalist system into a tailspin. In this video the economist Richard D. Wolff discusses how capitalism works and doesn't work as he describes his new book from Democracy at Work "The Sickness is the System: When Capitalism Fails to Save Us from Pandemics or Itself" and Douglas Lain tries to set up a conversation on State Capitalism and Workers Co-Ops for the parrot room.
