Ep 113: A Real Leftist Mood
A final clip show for now: this one focuses on electoral activism and the parts that make up a vision of a leftist future. Beginning with clips that set the tone and explain bottom left propaganda; then clips relating to direct democracy from Occupy and others. In the next half centers on an emotional talk from an electoral organizer from the pirate party, then other clips relating to elections and greens. The final quarter are models of a future socialist economy with Parecon, Ubutu world, and more. If any of this is new to you, check this episode out! Also Happy May Day
