The core idea of this podcast comes from David Graeber, who wrote that our everyday life is mostly run on anarchism, and at the same time people believe that anarchism doesn’t work. One of these is wrong.
I hope to illuminate how our communities already depend on Mutual Aid, in big and small ways. I'll do that by excavating the historical events and cultural trends you already know about, but have never thought about in terms of anarchism.

124. The Early Quakers -- Kate Peters (English Revolution)
Kate Peters, author of Print Culture and the Early Quakers, joins me to discuss the Quakers, the last of the radical groups we're covering the English Revolution series. You can hear about how the Quakers can be seen as the end of political radicalism in the revolution, or alternately as a different form of radical organizing, as evidenced by William Penn's political declarations in the 1701 charter for Pennsylvania:

123. Debt Discussion 6: Graeber as Grand Theorist with Fuad Musallam
In this debt discussion, Fuad and I discuss Chapter 6 of Debt, "Games with Sex and Death," and especially the way that Graeber is writing in the grand theory tradition of anthropology. Fuad also taught with David at the London School of Economics, and is able to explain how Graeber approached these same concepts in anthropology as a teacher and colleague.

Customer Reviews
Compelling and Well Thought Out
Everyday Anarchism is a well done show. I was looking for a podcast on anarchism and stumbled into it and was not disappointed. Great interviews, we’ll researched and actually gives me a lot of hope. Too often we hear anarchists talk doom and gloom. But this show talks hope.
So valuable
Working my way through the back catalogue and grateful for this auditory way to learn that doesn’t assume knowledge like many books can. Thank you.
Perfect podcast
Anarchism 101 features anarchists readings, think audible, followed up by interviews with academics and thinkers who help to shape those readings into something that actually sticks. It can be hard to read some of these older philosophers and organizers and comprehend it all. This podcast does that perfectly. Highly recommend!
