(Part 2/2) Guest: Thomas from Republic of Morality - A Look at Traditions and Progress, and Caribbean Politics
This is the second and larger part of our interview with Thomas from Republic of Morality. We discuss some European elections, then move to the bread and butter of Thomas' current sphere of thought. We also talk about what small-scale communities could look like, and probably spend more time talking about that than we should have.
