I've only ever listened to his Anarchy 101 piece with Mark Bray, which is quite useful for anarchy 101.

I wonder about his politics, tbh. I def don't listen to every episode, so I can't say I know his views in and out, but from what I've heard, he's rejected authoritarianism on enough issues in the past to make me feel like he's not full tankie. Wish I had some specific examples to reference off top, but i don't.

I may look for some instances that assuaged my tankie skepticism and post em here, but I'm also def not trying to win converts for the show or its host.

I got some good bits out of this episode regardless. I think it's worth a listen for anyone interested in Fred Hampton and his story.

He’s a true believer, but at the same time strangely open minded, if that makes sense?

There’s an episode that’s Marx vs anarchy with him and another ML vs the guys from srsly wrong. They destroy him and he’s cool about it.

I’m not all that familiar with him and it’s been quite some time since I checked his stuff out.

I only bothered listening because he’s sharp and his interests and takes were more varied than what you’d typically get from a hardcore tank.

Honestly, if I were a leftist anarchist I’d probably avoid it, but I’m not invested in the politics so I could just appreciate the approach and banter for what it is.
