The Regrettable Century podcast

The Regrettable Century

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. Check us out on [Patreon] (https://www.patreon.com/c/theregrettablecentury) for regular Patron Book Clubs, Regrettable Geopolitics updates, Real Nerd Hours, and more...
