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. A clean, honest, and unsentimental melancholy is required; we are cultivating one and would like to share it with you.
“The challenge of modernity is to live without illusions and without becoming disillusioned. I’m a pessimist because of intelligence, but an optimist because of will.”
— Antonio Gramsci
