Shane Burley on “Why We Fight”

This week, we present a conversation with Shane Burley, author of the new AK Press book, “Why We Fight: Essays on Fascism, Resistance, and Surviving the Apocalypse”. For the hour, we speak about the contents of the book, anti-fascism, toxic masculinity, pushing racists and fascists out of cultural space, antisemitism (including in the left), conspiricism, right wing publishing and other topics.

Bursts references a couple of podcasts at various points:

• Black Autonomy Podcast: Black Anti-Fascism And Armed Self-Defense
• 12 Rules For What #36: Antifascist RPGs and Nerd Cultures w/ Postcards from Cable Street
