Fighting at the Edges of Capitalist Realism w/ Breht O’Shea

In the hundreds of dystopian futures presented across popular culture and media, one of the most pervasive tropes is Capitalist Realism, most succinctly explained by the phrase “it’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.” No genre embodies this phrase more fully than dystopia. On this episode Emilia, Jasper, and Jordan will be discussing Alfonso Cuarón’s 2006 film, “Children of Men,” with Breht O’Shea of Revolutionary Left Radio.

Breht O’Shea hosts of Revolutionary Left Radio, which covers communist philosophy, proletarian history, and revolutionary politics and co-hosts Red Menace Podcast, which focuses on communist theory and analysis.
