Mutual Aid as Evolutionary Truth? | A Podcast for Radicals – Special Edition
Peter Kropotkin exposed how capitalists used "survival of the fittest" to justify exploitation. 120 years later, we're fighting the same battle.
This episode explores mutual aid not as charity or activism, but as our biological reality - and why understanding this changes everything about how we organize.
In this episode:
- The 1800s debate between Kropotkin and Social Darwinists that shaped how we see human nature
- How industrial capitalists used "natural selection" to justify child labor and poverty wages
- Why Project 2025 targets mutual aid networks and criminalizes public care
- Reading from Chapter 6 of A Radical Guide's "Resist Project 2025" booklet
- Understanding cooperation as an evolutionary strategy, not a political position
- How communities create alternatives that make authoritarian systems irrelevant
The same ideology that justified factory exploitation now justifies letting people die without healthcare. But communities practicing mutual aid aren't doing charity - they're expressing the same cooperative force that builds forests and keeps thirty-seven trillion cells in your body working together.

Closing, Thanks, and Gratitude – NYC Anarchist Book Fair International Workshops
The closing session, The P.I.T, wraps up the day’s international workshops with thanks and collective gratitude.
Throughout the event, we heard from organizers, writers, artists, and movement builders across the world — sharing lessons on anarchism, collective care, food sovereignty, degrowth, zero fare transportation, anti-authoritarian publishing, radical art, and mutual aid. From poetry to panels, each session added to a shared practice of connecting struggles, imagining alternatives, and building collective power.
The NYC Anarchist Book Fair has gathered thousands of anarchists, supporters, and curious folks since 2007 on Lenape land, creating space to learn about anarchist traditions, philosophy, praxis, and anti-capitalist struggle.
This series was presented in collaboration with Floresta TV and A Radical Guide:

Anarchism and the Struggle for Zero Fare Transportation in Brazil
This session features Felipe Corrêa and Victor Khaled, coordinators of the Institute for Anarchist Theory and History (IATH) (itha-iath.org) and militants of the Libertarian Socialist Organization (OSL) in Brazil.
The talk begins with an exploration of the concept of anarchism, based on Corrêa’s book Black Flag, recently translated and published internationally. From there, the panel traces the resurgence of anarchist militancy in Brazil after the end of the military dictatorship in 1985.
Drawing from Khaled’s theoretical and practical work, they examine the struggles for public transportation in Brazil, especially during the June Protests of 2013, when the Zero Fare agenda became nationalized. Since then, Brazil has become the country with the highest number of Zero Fare cities in the world.
The session closes with a reflection on the role of anarchists in these movements — how anarchist militancy can strengthen struggles for Zero Fare, the Right to the City, and the building of mass, self-managed popular power.

Anarchism, Food Sovereignty, and Degrowth: Exploring Overlaps and Tensions
This session with Antonio Román-Alcalá and the Agroecology Research-Action Collective (ARC) looks at the intersections, overlaps, and tensions between anarchism, food sovereignty, and degrowth — with some focus on land reform.
The presentation is based on a recent article in the Degrowth Journal but framed to emphasize action, not just theory. After the short talk, participants join a discussion on how to navigate these tensions and build practices that make sense in the so-called U.S. today.

CONATUS: Change Among Changes
This session features Manifesto Brutal (manifestobrutal.org) in collaboration with the theatre company Nontantoprecisi (nontantoprecisi.net), a group founded within Italy’s last asylum-concentration camp. Together they explore CONATUS — life that lives, imagining anti-psychiatric living experiments and collective ways of responding to illness, oppression, and the suffocating conditions of the present.
The conversation moves from 24-hour schizo-analysis, to transforming symptoms, imagining worlds, writing, studying, weaving, singing, and ranting — from the bed to the stage and back again.
Guided by Johanna Hedva’s question in Theory of the Sick Woman — “How do you throw a brick through the window of a bank if you can’t get out of bed?” — the group reflects on how to create encounters across bodies, decolonize themselves, and form alliances through shared struggle. Their project includes a developing periodical publication called CONATUS, already alive within their work and collective practice.

How Liberals, Neoliberals, and the Right Target Resistance | A Radical Podcast
Special Edition of A Radical Podcast
In this episode, we take a direct look at how political labels—liberal, neoliberal, leftist, and anarchist—are misused, weaponized, and stripped of their meaning to undermine resistance and protect systems of power.
Too often, these terms are collapsed into one catch-all idea of “anti-Trump,” used interchangeably in media, policy, and everyday conversations. But the reality is more complex—and more urgent. From ICE raids and militarized policing to the co-option of radical movements by nonprofits and political parties, we’re watching resistance get distorted from all sides.
We break down:
- What each political label means
- How the right uses simplification to justify repression
- How liberals and neoliberals absorb and neutralize radical efforts
- What anarchists and anti-authoritarians are doing to build alternatives
- Why clarity about these differences matters for collective resistance
This episode focuses on how political labels are weaponized to contain struggle, and how understanding their real meanings can help us build clarity and connection across our communities.

Liberation Culture Principles | A Podcast for Radicals – Episode 11
What does it mean to build a culture of liberation?
In this episode, we break down three core principles of liberation culture: building lasting movements, practicing solidarity, and transforming dominant norms. These aren’t abstract ideas—they’re lived, practiced, and deeply interconnected. Together, they shape how we organize, relate, and resist systems of oppression.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in short-term campaigns, transactional coalitions, or organizing spaces that replicate the harms we’re trying to undo, this conversation is for you. We explore what it means to build movements that last, relationships that hold, and cultures that nourish our struggles.
Episode Highlights:
– Why movements must be more than campaigns or projects
– How solidarity becomes real through practice
– The difference between cultural transformation and cultural domination
– What we mean by liberation culture, and how it shows up in our everyday work
This episode is part of A Guide for Radicals—a project of A Radical Guide that connects history, theory, and strategy for those committed to collective liberation.

By recognizing these patterns, we can better prepare to counter and resist.
