3 / 16

The old forms of the Left are moribund and the new forms are stupid. We're making a podcast that discusses the need to organize a Dialectical Pessimism and develop a salvage project capable of sparking a new workers' movement for socialism.

I’m a pessimist because of intelligence, but an optimist because of will.” -- Antonio Gramsci
