Editor’s note: Kropotkin’s Barbershop is a current affairs, roundtable discussion program from a left wing perspective. Hosted by Nina Illingworth and Charles Minnich, this bi-weekly podcast also features writer Chris Walker, and producer Adam Scriven. Always anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, and anti-white supremacist, our podcasting foursome tackles life in a neofeudalist dystopia in a presentation you won’t want to miss.

When The Fascist Creep Becomes A Sprint

How does the old saying go? When it doesn’t rain, it pours. Recent personal, health, and professional life issues, combined with a serious illness in my family, have made an absolute mockery of my attempts to restore the content here on NIDC to something resembling a normal schedule. Unfortunately, while my situation is no longer “dire,” I am expecting numerous ongoing, and unavoidable, interruptions in my work (including my podcast work) for the foreseeable future. I’ll keep you folks updated on the situation, as best I can, going forward.

In the meantime however, the Kropotkin’s Barbershop crew is back in action for a special, extended-length episode. What do reactionary attacks on American schoolboards, the Canadian “trucker” occupations, and Greg Abbot’s attack on trans people have in common? As our team discovers, they’re all an attack on (small d) democracy and our civil rights. Join Walker, Charles, Adam, and I as we discussed an accelerating news cycle that has kicked the Pig Empire fascist creep into overdrive.

“This is quite literally, to the letter, what Hitler and the Nazis did.”
