<p>In this episode, I sit down with Steve Boots for a wide-ranging chat about unlearning reactionary ideas, building community, and trying to make meaningful content in an algorithm-driven world. We get into our own political journeys, the burnout that comes with being online all the time, and the weird mix of personal growth and public pressure that comes with making leftist media.</p><p>You can find Steve on all the places</p><p><a href="https://linktr.ee/steveboots"><u>https://linktr.ee/steveboots</u></a></p><p><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/steveboots.bsky.social"><u>https://bsky.app/profile/steveboots.bsky.social</u></a></p><p><a href="https://www.twitch.tv/steve_boots"><u>https://www.twitch.tv/steve_boots</u></a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@Steve_Boots"><u>https://www.youtube.com/@Steve_Boots</u></a></p><p><a href="https://x.com/steve_boots"><u>https://x.com/steve_boots</u></a></p><p>And check out my linktree</p><p><a href="https://linktr.ee/Skepticalleftist"><u>https://linktr.ee/Skepticalleftist</u></a></p><p><br></p><p>If you enjoyed the show, consider supporting us on Patreon <a href="https://www.patreon.com/skepticalleftist"><u>https://www.patreon.com/skepticalleftist</u></a> to help keep the content coming.

<p></p><p>In this episode, I’m joined by Seamus Geoghan to talk about what it means to build real community as the system around us falls apart. We get into the role of mutual aid, the failure of institutional politics, and how everyday acts of care are a form of resistance. Along the way, we touch on anarchism, surviving collapse, and why there's no savior coming—just each other.</p><p>Here are some links were you can find Seamus</p><p><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/seamusgeoghan.bsky.social"><u>https://bsky.app/profile/seamusgeoghan.bsky.social</u></a></p><p><a href="https://x.com/GeoghanSeamus"><u>https://x.com/GeoghanSeamus</u></a></p><p>And check out his podcast</p><p><a href="https://x.com/TheJIBPodcast"><u>https://x.com/TheJIBPodcast</u></a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TheJIBPodcast"><u>https://www.youtube.com/@TheJIBPodcast</u></a></p><p>And check out my linktree</p><p><a href="https://linktr.ee/Skepticalleftist"><u>https://linktr.ee/Skepticalleftist</u></a></p><p><br></p><p>If you enjoyed the show, consider supporting us on Patreon <a href="https://www.patreon.com/skepticalleftist"><u>https://www.patreon.com/skepticalleftist</u></a> to help keep the content coming.

<p></p><p>This time on Red Reviews, Justin and I dig into God and the State by Mikhail Bakunin — one of the most enduring works of anarchist theory. We talk about why Bakunin saw rebellion as a core part of what it means to be human, how disobedience challenges systems of domination, and what it means to live freely in a world built on obedience.</p><p>From Satan as the first rebel to the dangers of scientism, the moral weight of revolt, and the liberatory potential of education, we explore why Bakunin’s vision still resonates — and why it matters now more than ever.</p><p>You can get a copy of God and The State here </p><p><a href="https://z-library.sk/book/2360474/364435/god-and-the-state.html"><u>https://z-library.sk/book/2360474/364435/god-and-the-state.html</u></a></p><p>Or you can purchase a copy at these booksellers</p><p><a href="https://www.akpress.org/godandthestate.html"><u>https://www.akpress.org/godandthestate.html</u></a></p><p><a href="https://redemmas.org/titles/2099-god-and-the-state/"><u>https://redemmas.org/titles/2099-god-and-the-state/</u></a></p><p><a href="https://pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1356"><u>https://pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1356</u></a></p><p><a href="https://pilsencommunitybooks.com/item/3GiS_XTIkh2sa_b2wRa_Wg"><u>https://pilsencommunitybooks.com/item/3GiS_XTIkh2sa_b2wRa_Wg</u></a></p><p>Check out Justin's links and follow him</p><p><a href="https://www.justinclark.org/"><u>https://www.justinclark.org/</u></a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/justinclarkph/"><u>https://www.instagram.com/justinclarkph/</u></a></p><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@justinclarkph"><u>https://www.tiktok.com/@justinclarkph</u></a></p><p><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/justinclarkph.bsky.social"><u>https://bsky.app/profile/justinclarkph.bsky.social</u></a></p><p><u>https://www.threads.net/@justinclarkph</u></p><p><a href="https://www.in.gov/history/"><u>https://www.in.gov/history/</u></a></p><p><a href="https://blog.history.in.gov/"><u>https://blog.history.in.gov/</u></a></p><p><a href="https://newspapers.library.in.gov/"><u>https://newspapers.library.in.gov/</u></a></p><p>And check out my linktree</p><p><a href="https://linktr.ee/Skepticalleftist"><u>https://linktr.ee/Skepticalleftist</u></a></p><p><br></p><p>If you enjoyed the show, consider supporting us on Patreon <a href="https://www.patreon.com/skepticalleftist"><u>https://www.patreon.com/skepticalleftist</u></a> to help keep the content coming.
