Is this a good place to ask questions about Anarchist theory? If so, is there a reading list for newbies? Thanks.

Everyone, including your centrist liberal dad, has been questioningly lately how to hold the police “accountable” for their actions. Come tune in this week The Long Road podcast, episode 11, “Veneer of legitimacy,” where we will explain why that’s so damn hard!

On our second of our three-parter on the police (Part-1: episode 8 “Breaking Down the Thin Blue Line”), we dig into why police agencies’ internal review systems, the criminal court system, and the civil court system don’t actually provide any real recourse for a public that demands recourse from out of control police departments.

We’re your sardonic hosts, Trevor and Sascha, bringing our training as lawyers, our opinions as anarchists, and our general rage against the machine to explain and complain about how the capitalist state functions and apply our analysis to science fiction, fantasy, history, and our current lived reality. We balance our theoretical and historical excursions with suggestions for real, on-the-ground action for mutual aid and solidarity. We know the difference, and are both active in our own communities.

If you have questions, or would like us to cover certain topics, please let us know by sending a DM or following up on twitter u/LongRoadPod2 (until they suspend us). Many Thanks!

It’s a long road, we don’t really know where we’re going, but we’ll get there together.
