Feminism for Our Time
.
.
The reactionary right attacks liberalism's equal rights for cis women and 2SLGBTQIA
people in a capitalist world that's getting worse for almost everyone. What kind of feminism
is needed in these times? Ira Hybris draws on her experience as a marxist-feminist active
in the Spanish state over the last decade to discuss that and related theoretical and political
questions, including how we should counter the right's gendered appeals to working-class
men.

Victor's Children is a podcast "talking socialism from below." What matters isn't the term but the politics it refers to. This episode is an introduction to this kind of revolutionary-democratic socialism, with guests Aileen and Kristen. They talk about what this approach to changing the world is, how it differs from more common kinds of socialist politics, why it's worth committing to, and what people who support it should be doing in the here and now.
