Organizing on the Edge of the Abyss: Building Class Power and the Looming Apocalypse

The Regrettable Century

EpisodeNov 28, 201853m

This week we discuss ourselves a little bit before diving into the topic of base building. What is base building? Is it a new strategy? Is it just aping Maoist and Narodnik tactics in a decidedly un-Bolshevik fashion? It isn't, but if it was why would that be bad?In this episode, we talk about why building is becoming popular among the membership of the DSA and whether it is a viable strategy for working class powerhttps://www.patreon.com/theregrettablecenturySend us a message (sorry we can't respond on here).

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-------Visit the Regrettable Century's merch shop:https://theregrettablecentury.threadless.com/
