This time, exploring the philosophical alternative to hierarchy, the notion of cooperative difference, and the dynamic tension of mutually dependent opposites. We explore complementarity as a natural fact, analytical framework, and ethical imperative. Hierarchy, reciprocity, nature, life, death, grasping and loss are just some of the topics touched on as the Wrong Boys try really hard not to talk about the meaning of life.

It’s red in tooth and claw, a war of all against all, as each individual gene struggles to survive at the expense of others in a zero-sum competition for reproduction across generations, which coincidentally serves to naturalize the rule of the rich and powerful, and justify cruelty and indifference towards the weak, this week, on SRSLY WRONG.

This week, the Wrong Boys team up with the crew from Thiiird Waves to think together about the complexities of workplace and income dynamics and radical politics, touching on the ethics of taking job offers with corporate monopolies, the idea of ‘selling out’, the tensions between collective responsibilities and individual choices, ways in which power can corrupt plans to change things from the inside, and the structure of rejecting unjust orders.

This episode is a deep dive into what it means to build prefigurative institutions that can help us actualize the transition to a better society. Special guest Anark and the Wrong Boys explore how our organizations should be structured, the pitfalls we might face, and the difficult questions that might come along the way.

Correction: A previous version of this episode included the statement that Emiliano Zapata was a committed anarchist. Zapata was was influenced by Ricardo Flores Magón and the Magonistas, who were anarchists, but was not an anarchist himself.

Nothing lays bare the stark unfreedom of the wage labor system quite like a bleak monday morning. A day that represents monotony, drudgery, and the end of fun.

Many say that it can’t be helped, that mondays are inevitable. But is that really true? Or is a world without mondays actually possible?

The King is dead, but the revolution is just getting started. Robespierre and the Jacobins have a plan: using the means of State Terror, they will create a Republic of Virtue, complete with new cults, new calendars, new clocks, and shiny new revolutionary Citizens. 

The Wrong Boys finish their look at the French Revolution with a look at the complex relationship between Terror, Virtue, and Trauma.

Why do the rich have so much influence over policy? Is it all because of corporations lobbying politicians? Or is there a more fundamental dynamic at play — one that activists can use to their benefit?

Michael Schwartz and Kevin A. Young (co-authors of “Levers of Power: How the 1% Rules and What the 99% Can Do About It”) join us to discuss how the wealthy employ capital strikes and the logic of ‘business confidence’ to make sure that most good policies never get passed.

This formerly patron-only episode is now up for all

King Louis XVI of France was beheaded by guillotine on January 21, 1793 – a pivotal event in (the often quite unsafe) birth of modern liberal democracy.

In part one of our look at the French Revolution, the Wrong Boys examine the events leading up to the death of the king (and the birth of the French First Republic), and try to grapple with what these events mean today for those of us who want to make the world a better place.

As human beings, we have a deep need for friendship and human connection. But in a world where time is money, and socializing becomes just another expense to cut back on, an epidemic of loneliness threatens to swallow us all from the inside.

Is there a way to fight back? To combat loneliness? To crush and destroy it forever? Wrong Boys investigate.

Convenience for whom? The wrong boys explore the ins and outs of convenience, and integrate common criticisms of “convenience culture” into a call for a new utopian full convenience, a society which makes everything essential as easy as possible, and forges a deep complementary convenience between all parties, creating 10,000 years of world peace, and making the world very nice without labour violations. Tune in to this radio play and learn why corner stores are bastions of revolutionary potential.

The Library Socialism Trilogy concludes as we explore the concept of Complementarity as a natural fact, analytical framework, and ethical imperative. Hierarchy, reciprocity, nature, life, death, grasping and loss are just some of the topics touched on as the Wrong Boys try really hard not to talk about the meaning of life.

It is one of the most powerful forces in existence. It has shaped our biology and our society. Our personal lives can be defined by it, or by the lack of it. Wars turn on it. Politics are decided based on it. Bodily health depends on it. People live for it, and people kill for it.

We speak, of course, about the Power of Friendship.

Walmart is the world’s largest corporation, a mantle it has achieved by (internally) eschewing market-based allocation, and developing itself into a sophisticated and well-functioning globally-planned economy.

This week, guests Leigh and Michal join the Wrong Boys to talk about their new book, and how analyzing the biggest, multinational, consumer-facing corporations puts to rest the myth that economic planning doesn’t work.

This week The Wrong Boys gaze into The All-Seeing Face, longing for joy and human connection, instead finding a malicious, psychologically invasive hell casino that tracks their every move and thought, creating a trove of information so vast and powerful that no mere human could morally choose how to wield it.

In a desperate last attempt to fix this dystopia, the boys send a friend request to the man in charge of it all, and then wait, nervous, yet hopeful, that Mark Zuckerberg will finally become their friend.

A journey through gun laws, violent media, and social alienation as the Wrong Boys get to the bottom of the most horrifying trend of the millennium.

The Wrong Boys lay out a perfect plan to make sure that everybody always has the exact same amount of money in their bank account, no matter what.

They’re at it again

The utopian practice involves tirelessly working towards the ever-receding horizon of the best possible world for everyone. There’s a lot to be done, and a lot of different tactics that can be of use. The Wrong Boys discuss the place that violent and non-violent direct action have in the work of striving for a better tomorrow, and cast a light on the widest possible spectrum of tactical options.
