The breadth of the Western Esoteric Tradition seeds from one 19th century socialist revolutionary Catholic seminary drop out and most of it is made from whole cloth. Eliphas Levi is responsible for every magician and metal band's misinterpretation of "Good & Evil" but worse, he lived through a failed revolution and 21st century media personalities are cashing in on the symbolic rhetoric of leftist revolutionary momentum as planned obsolescence. Jacobin Magazine and Breadtube don't want...

UNLOCKED: I wanted to add an ironic prison ghost tour to my central Missouri roadtrip in July but the tours were canceled due to extensive structural damage from a tornado and flooding. Hell yeah! This prison held Emma Goldman and Kate O'Hare for their anti-war actions in speaking against the WW1 draft. Instead of the tour, I walked along an abandoned service road and talked about the right wing Christian concept of ghosts, the death penalty, and libidinal orgone energies. Plus, I pitch a...

I take a circuitous route through the direct actions of the anti-capitalist, anti-fascist Red Army Faction (Baader-Meinhof Group) in West Germany to discuss Carl Jung's synchronicity, high strangeness as a form of PTSD in the collective unconscious, and what could possibly be a reason for mass shooting survivors finding themselves in a quantum entanglement of trauma.

"our motto must be: reform of consciousness not through dogmas, but by analysing the mystical consciousness that is unintelligible to itself, whether it manifests itself in a religious or a political form." It might sound like a Terence McKenna quote, but it is Karl Marx in a letter to Arnold Ruge in 1843 as the two clarified the aims of their journal German-French Annals, where Marx first published the essays that formed his conception of historical materialism, political emancipation and...

We recorded this episode in mid March 2019 while Pearson from Coffee with Comrades was visiting in Omaha, NE during Spring break. This freeform conversation first aired as a Patreon bonus for Rev Left Radio and is now unlocked and I'm excited to share this episode wherein we cover quite a bit: climate change effects happening in the now, fascist violence, and death. It's a heavy weight but filled with militant joy. Anyway, enjoy! Support Rev Left Radio on Patreon & follow on Twitter. ...

Breht from Revolutionary Left Radio continues the discussion from our roundtable episode featuring Coffee With Comrades cohosts Mel and Pearson, and this time I talk about the collective unconscious and how it appears to us,  and we drill down on the cult of rationality that created the New Atheist  movement and its role in promoting Islamophobia over criticism of other religions, and their support of the US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. We also discuss how those reactionary ideas of...

I had the opportunity to speak with Prosper Bonhomme, a writer, traveler, and Romani egoist anarchist. They write professionally for Gods & Radicals and personally on their blog. They also ethically collect animal carcasses to prepare and sell the skeletal remains for magical and ritual use. I'm excited for this talk because prior to our discussion I didn't have as deep of an understanding of Roma history or culture as I should considering many of us use the techniques and traditional...
