“Just finished your four part anarchism series. Your analysis of the multiple perspectives made the series credibly insightful, though you never got the endpoint of anarcho- communism, which is Marx’s fourth stage, wherein the state melts away.

“The best podcast I’ve listened to. I work long hours at a manual labour job in the forest and Stephen’s humour and ability to translate tough texts into chicken nuggets of wisdom makes the long days seem too short. I often go back and reposten to episodes. That’s how much value this adds to my life.”
