Wed, 14 November 2007 Firstly i would like to note that i am not supporting al-Qaddafi by doing this review, so approach this review with the open mind, and understand that there are differences between what the person writes and what one does. You can read Green Book in English or in Russian, and after that tell me what you think about it.

Wed, 14 November 2007 This podcast has been reviewed by Shelly from Podcast Liberally. Here is what was said: This is an incredibly creative podcast consisting of the host (and possibly others, I’m not sure, because someone speaks in Russian also) giving us regular “Episodes? and then in between those, several “poems?. The poems are the very creative part and range dramatically in topic and length (and language). The Episodes are basically philosophy and politics and news topics from a self-describe anarchist point of view, but what I would describe as European liberal. I mean European liberal because it has a slight edge of “you Americans are different than all of the rest of us? (and not in a good way) but it’s mostly subtle. I have found Europeans think of Americans this way, but I look forward to hearing more of his opinions not just on world events, politics, family, philosophy, etc., but also of how we Americans appear to the rest of the world. It’s just something he mentions in Episode 50 so it’s not pervasive throughout the podcast. Many of the episodes are personal thoughts on various things and these “poems? are creative and hard to describe. Because they are short I recommend you listen to a lot of them. Check out the podcast on libsyn or through the iTunes link. I may very well add to this review as I listen to a few more of the longer Episodes. I’m not sure if this is the logo for the show either, but it’s what I could find. Please correct me if I’m wrong VolodyA_V_A! I will have more to say on this one in the podcast. I definitely recommend you listen to it for a different point of view that isn’t usual American politics. Category: Announcements -- posted at: 9:00 AM Comments[0] |
Tue, 13 November 2007 After reading the story of lyrical terrorist one really doesn't want to write poetry any longer. I mean we, the poets, have always used exaggerations, hyperbolies, and just plain old metaphors to express ourselves. And now somebody comes in and says that this is an act of Terrorism. Really, really bad. Category: Poetry Category: Announcements -- posted at: 10:15 AM Comments[0] |
Mon, 12 November 2007 This is more of a rant, and maybe you don't think that this is going on, but i believe that there is an anti-american centiment in the anarchist movement. Here i briefly talk about why this is a bad idea. The documentary that i have mentioned here is Anarchism in America. Music came from the Cry 4 Peace, Fight 4 Freedom podcast, and i think it is very relevant to the issue in many ways.

Sun, 21 October 2007 This episode is inspired by the meditation and the internal rant on the statements by one of the leading geneticists, , regarding the languistic abilities of african peoples and by the responces to these statements.

Music used was: Koljan with the song “Nazi Stop” from the “Music Against Racism” CD and “What Right” with the music by Costa and words by Holman from the “Vegamp” CD.

This is of course from the perspective of furtherance of anarchism as an idea.

Thu, 30 August 2007 I explore my personal belief that on ethical scale police are worse than rapists. This show is not meant to demean or insult rape survivors or victims, it is meant as a food for thought for the people who would join the police force in order to “help” the public. Comments[0] |

Mon, 13 August 2007 Here i've decided to shortly talk about nudity and how nudism and generally a healthy attitude towards one's body will benefit the anarchist movement. This is also a “videocast” and i have made a point to do it in the nude; so if you have hard time looking at nude people i suggest that you watch this episode with your eyes closed. Also note that this is a rather short episode, due to the fact that video generates a much larger file sizes. Groups that i have mentioned: Movements that are related:

Thu, 9 August 2007 I am discussing the idea of Buddhism and anarchism being allies. This is not a complete description of both, but simply an outline of what jumps out and screams “symmetry“. Although this podcast was recorded with anarchists who are interested in Buddhism being in mind, i feel it will be equally interesting to Buddhists who wish to have a look at anarchism without the shores of social conditioning. And i will welcome input from both sides, but i wish for the comments which explore the possibility rather than eliminate it due to it being outside of the tradition of both communities.

Wed, 18 July 2007 An episode made partially as a response to The Anti-Capitalist Mentality show by “Voice of Freedom”, a capitalist propaganda show by Freedom Party International.

Fri, 13 July 2007 This is a very brief look at the state of the anarchist movement today and where we can possibly be going in the future. For a few who will no doubt get affended that i have listed a direction they don't like, or didn't list the one they like: all i say here is only an observation and an opinion. First in this podcast i run through the movements which are in the core of the larger anarchist movement. Second i go through some which were already brought in, but not yet completely integrated. And finally i go into the theoretical possibilities of where we might go and what we might learn from, i do not go into what those things might be as this is not the intention of this podcast to go into this level of detail, but i do discuss the interplay amongs those movements.

I apologise for the poor quality of the recording which at times makes it hard or even impossible to understand what was being said. Also the tape ran out after 59 minutes of the discussion, so not everything that was talked about is in this recording. If you are interested in this discussion, you might find these issues of interest: At times discussion shifted into areas of abortion debate, science, religion, and prison abolition.
