REVOLUTIONARY LEFT RADIO
About this episode

In this second installment of our ongoing series "Dialectics and Psychedelics", Joshua Kahn Russell joins Breht to discuss anxiety and depression, how trauma shapes left movements and organizations, what constitutes a truly healthy left organization, the impact of climate change on our mental health, eco-anxiety, eco-grief, and eco-depression, as well as some reasons to be cautiously optimistic (and maybe even downright hopeful) about the coming decades.
