This week the gang discuss Dominic Cummings, English exceptionalism and class! We’re publishing this episode early so we can dedicate our Saturday episode to the Black Lives Matter protests in America.
If you can, and if it’s safe for you to do so, get yourselves down to the American Embassy in Dublin on Saturday – further details here. Solidarity can be more than putting a black screen on instagram!

Anomie: noun ˈa-nə-mē Social instability resulting from a breakdown of standards and values; also : personal unrest, alienation, and uncertainty that comes from a lack of purpose or ideals.
According to French sociologist Émile Durkheim, Anomie occurs when the surrounding society has undergone significant changes in its economic fortunes, whether for better or for worse and, more generally, when there is a significant discrepancy between the ideological theories and values commonly professed and what was actually achievable in everyday life.We believe that we live in an neo-liberal and nihilist epoch and that by spreading the ideas of Libertarian-Socialism through our zine and Podcast we can do our bit to challenge the politics of greed and despair.
We also hope to challenge Anarchism’s sacred cows and in so doing rejuvenate Anarchist thought that became constipated in the 20th century.
