The Far-Right, Election, and Strategic Response …Spooktacular Edition

Here is my third guest appearance on my Milwaukee friends’ radio program, The Grass is Greener, this Halloween weekend. We talked about far-right violence in connection with the election, stochastic terrorism, maintaining hope (“pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will”!), and how the left can build culture, community, and even study groups to help quell the growing threat of fascism. Give it a listen.

Also, here is the list of accompanying links that I sent to show co-host Babette to share with listeners who would like to learn more about some of the topics addressed in the episode:
