Ep. 024 - Paint Your Town Red (6/19/21)
Manage episode 296524304 series 2946550
Jim and Alex are joined by a new member of the Pillow Screamin' Family, Jackie! After we cover a bunch of rapid-fire news stories and put ourselves in a thoroughly melancholy mood, we talk about something that is WAY more motivating.
Ever noticed how American cities are just, like, gross? Feel like this is a country made for musty 40 year old semi trucks, not for people? They are and it was. We explain that. And then we offer the alternatives: Municipalism, Local Socialism, and Community Wealth Building Strategies! We stumbled onto these ideas after too many uppity leftist Zoom calls and Reddit purity tests made us realize that the whole "Online Socialist" dog just ain't gonna hunt. We'll never really be over Bernie losing the primary, of course. But there ARE things, actual real world things, that work out there! Check them out at the links below:
