Well... 005

A King™ of the Lost Horizons Network, ComradeClapsAlot, joins Jason, Comrade Adam, and CC Alex to talk about dialectical pessimism, socialist organizing, the PMC (Yeah, you know me!), alienation, mindfulness, mental health, and SO MUCH MORE!DISCLAIMER: This one gets heavy near the end and we talk about suicide, mental health, and Left politics.

The LH Network Gang talks psychoanalysis, libidinal economy, and all sorts of other juicy topics. Real Sad Boi Hours™ ensue as per usual.

This episode we set a course for the great abyss at warp 10. It is some real sade dude hours, but that's what you're expecting right?
