Diet Soap Podcast #119: Anarchism is Not Enough

The guest this week is professor Jodi Dean. Ms. Dean is the author of Blog Theory, the force behind a lecture entitled the Communist Horizon, and a blogger herself at the blog icite.com. She was nice enough to make the time to discuss her hypothesis that Democracy, Anarchism, and Liberalism are the three impediments we face during a time when Capitalism is in crisis. I want to thank Brian R, and Thomas J for donating to the podcast in the last week. And let them and Martin F and Chris M know that copies of my surrealist memoir entitled Pick Your Battle: Your Guide to Urban Foraging, Hollywood Movies, Late Capitalism, and the Communist Alternative will be sent out in tomorrow’s mail. There are still plenty of copies of the memoir left and anyone who would like a copy and who has yet to get one should consider donating, but the big news in terms of books associated with the podcast is that starting with this episode I’ll be reading excerpts from my next book, a book entitled Wave of Mutilation at the end of each episode. In mid October that book will be out from Fantastic Planet Press. That’s an imprint of the Bizzarro publisher known as Eraserhead press and available through various online vendors such as Barnes and Noble and Amazon. I hope to make signed copies of that novella available through the podcast as well. I should point that you can follow me on twitter and facebook, and that my own blog douglaslain.com is now the official blog of the Diet Soap podcast (I’m retiring dietsoapcast.com). You can email me through the blog.
