On global insurrection and identity politics.

We discuss an essay by the ultra-left collective 'Endnotes' that deals with the same political questions as we do, but comes up with different answers. Are the fragmented and ephemeral movements that have taken to the streets in France, Chile and the US, for example, the future of politics? Anti-political rejections of the establishment seem radical, but can they overcome their own negativity? And are identity politics the necessary form that repoliticisation has taken?

Enjoyed this episode a lot. I'm still kind of new to your podcast, but this episode convinced me to buy your book since I think your guys' concerns with politics are similar to my own in that I've come to the conclusion in my own thinking that a lot of anti-establishment politics in the last decade has been overly negative, and how you guys have developed "anti-politics" as a theoretical lens seems like it will be productive for me. Can't wait till your book comes out!

Wow. I coundn't bevieve my ears when I heard Phil recycling the right wing manipulation of Pasolini's poem about 68ers. That episode is really much more complex than an independent communist thinker siding with "authoritarianism" (since that is what he has been reduced to by Phil's usual reductionism when it comes to justifying his prejudices). But anyway, here's a good article about that. It's in Italian of course. https://www.internazionale.it/reportage/wu-ming-1/2015/10/29/pasolini-polizia-anniversario-morte
