RevolutionZ for you
Message from Noam Chomsky: Michael Albert has initiated a podcast, RevolutionZ: Life After Capitalism focussed on social vision and strategy. I know of no one better equipped to host such an effort, and I have no doubt that Michael’s initiative will be compelling and highly instructive, and will make a notable contribution to development of the kinds of social movements that are an urgent necessity. But his effort needs support to succeed. I urge you to consider helping make RevolutionZ known and, if so inclined, to support it with a regular donation.
You can access all its listening options from its ZNet RevolutionZ Page. You can help ensure it survives and grows at its Patreon Page. Please help it succeed.
