REVOLUTIONARY LEFT RADIO
About this episode

Breht discusses American Capitalism's Death Drive Accelerationism, how the only path that's left for capitalism is to return us to fuedalism "at a higher level", how dialactics plays out in this context, and why the purposeful cultivation of inner silence and stillness and love is more important than ever. 

outro music: 'Breathe' by Alexi Murdoch
