Episode notes
We are in the middle of the biggest protest moment in the United States since 1968, and are confronted with the greatest wave of repressive violence in response from the authorities. What is the role of the radical imagination, and the idea of Utopia, for social movements at this major turning point in our history? And how do we overcome the deeply ingrained idea that "There Is No Alternative" to our current system? Stephen Duncombe has some powerful diagnoses and prescriptions on this episode of The Plague.
