The Child and Its Enemies

An anarchist educator talks GEDs, queer youth organizing in schools, how to navigate academia as an anarchist, free schools, homeschooling, unschooling, and other queer insurrection <3

Join us and Tom from Its Going Down, one of the more successful anarchist news organizations in recent years, to talk about what got them into this work, how its going now, and thoughts about what people should be doing in this moment. Music is "Wrecking Ball" by Mother Mother. Enjoy!

An episode on Madeline Lane-McKinley and their work. We get into how it intersects with youth autonomy and liberation efforts. Heck we even talk about what childhood even means and where it comes from. Is children's literature even possible? This and more on a long one, double interlude, let's go!

"We don't seek to create forever institutions or parties. We acknowledge that we need to retain the flexibility to move with conditions and to counter the tendency of power to collect and stay in certain places."

Fuck theory, do shit.To change everything, start anywhere.Don't ever be deceived into thinking that you and a small group of your friends can't change the world. Stay wild. Stay young. Stay free. 

Lola Bloom on being trans online: "I think the space I aim to create would pave the way for trans kids to do similar work in an environment that isn't so hostile or alienating. I also think that giving people a space to exist and to be authentically themselves while they share skills and grow is integral to helping our community heal. It's incredibly difficult to transition and providing people the encouragement and resources they need is always my biggest success."Lola's Discord: https://discord.gg/aDMWFZMtz2
