WHAT IS POLITICS?

46 - 9.5a – The Lesbian Mask Bar Riot and the Future of the Left

Politics is one of the only practical disciplines where none of the main concepts have clear, coherent definitions. We define ourselves with terms like "left” and "right" and we believe in things like "democracy," “markets,” "capitalism" and "socialism" even though we don’t really know what any of these words actually mean. This series aims to make sense out of the political muddle that we've inherited from media, academia, and from decades of cold war propaganda, so that we can figure what it is that we want when it comes to politics, and how we can achieve it. WHAT IS POLITICS? is made with Jetpack Podcast. Full show notes and every episode at https://worldwidescrotes.wordpress.com/
