Climate Change got you down? Worried about the fact that *everything* seems to be getting worse? Wondering how we got to this point in the first place, and what can we do to build a more resilient future? We take a look at historical pastoral & agricultural societies to see what worked and what didn’t, as well as what resources we have today to make better decisions to build equitable systems. We don’t just discuss ecology and history but also take a leftist perspective on prepping, foraging, homesteading, weapons, community-building, and basically anything that needs discussing during late-stage capitalism.

<p>A</p> <p>ctivist and author Peter Gelderloos returns to the Porpoise Almanac to discuss his latest book, "They Will Beat the Memory Out of Us." With a lifetime of activism under his belt, Peter shares his heartfelt reflections on the enduring struggles of social movements, the critical role of collective memory, and the widening gap between generations in the digital age. Our conversation takes a deep dive into the complexities of maintaining intergenerational connections amidst capitalism's isolating forces, highlighting how social media often exacerbates these divides rather than bridging them.</p> <p>Together, we navigate the labyrinth of political ideologies, examining the fluid nature of anarchism and the need for adaptability in today's rapidly changing world. Peter sheds light on the pitfalls of rigid frameworks and the resilience of grassroots mutual aid, contrasting these with the inefficiencies of traditional governmental responses. We explore the fascinating potential for engaging with right-wing narratives, probing the surprising openness some individuals have toward systemic issues and the necessity of preserving past activism's memory to inform contemporary efforts.</p> <p>Our discussion further extends to supporting incarcerated individuals, underscoring the importance of memory and community in aiding their re-entry into society. Peter's insights on navigating imperfections within activism offer a candid look at the challenges of fostering collective accountability and healing. His work resonates profoundly with anyone feeling adrift in modern movements, and we encourage our listeners to explore his writings for a deeper understanding of building resilient, generational communities.</p> <p>Check out his book at: <a href="https://www.plutobooks.com/">https://www.plutobooks.com/</a></p> <p>Find Peter on Bluesky at @petergelderloos.bsky.social & <a href="https://petergelderloos.substack.com/">https://petergelderloos.substack.com/</a></p> <p>For sources, transcripts, and to read more about this subject, visit: <a href="http://www.agroecologies.org">www.agroecologies.org</a></p> <p>To support this podcast, join our patreon for early, commercial-free episode access at <a href="https://www.patreon.com/poorprolesalmanac" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.patreon.com/poorprolesalmanac</a></p> <p>For PPA Restoration Content, visit: <a href="http://www.restorationagroecology.com">www.restorationagroecology.com</a></p> <p>For PPA Merch, visit: <a href="http://www.poorproles.com">www.poorproles.com</a></p> <p>For PPA Native Plants, visit: <a href="http://www.nativenurseries.org">www.nativenurseries.org</a></p> <p>To hear Tomorrow, Today, our sister podcast, visit:<a href="http://www.tomorrowtodaypodcast.org/"> www.tomorrowtodaypodcast.org/</a></p> <p>Key words:</p> <p>Activism, Collective Memory, Generational Divide, Social Media, Anarchism, Political Ideology, Right-Wing Narratives, Grassroots Mutual Aid, Incarceration, Imperfection in Activism, Intergenerational Connections, Digital Age, Social Movements, Capitalism, Community, Memory Preservation, Re-Entry, Accountability, Healing, Political Terminology</p>

<p>Our latest episode navigates the turbulent water of South Korea's neoliberal rise, examining how austerity measures imposed by the IMF hit the working class hard and compromised environmental protections. Yet, within these adversities, seedbeds of change emerged, notably in the form of farming communes and radical agroecology. We unravel these complex threads with a nod to the contradictions they harbor, setting the stage for a deeper conversation about capitalism's imprint on democracy and nature.</p> <p>The narrative doesn't stop there. We turn our gaze to the evolution of environmental movements in South Korea, transitioning from the centralized NGO structures of the '80s to the grassroots-driven initiatives we see today. By spotlighting movements like the Life and Peace Movement, we highlight how ordinary citizens, pro-democracy advocates, and agroecological farmers are crafting a more resilient and balanced ecological future from the ground up. These community-driven efforts challenge the status quo not by dismantling capitalism directly but by fostering local autonomy and ecological alternatives, offering rich insights for similar movements in places like the United States.</p> <p>Finally, we explore the political landscape of agroecology with movements like JADAM and Korean Natural Farming at the helm, which challenge the artificial separation of politics from daily life. Consumer cooperatives are on the rise, transforming societal values and culture by creating alternatives to capitalism. In the realm of cooperative community agriculture, the Hansel and Movement stands as a testament to the power of collective endeavor, cycling financial and agricultural outputs back into the community.</p> <p>For sources, transcripts, and to read more about this subject, visit: <a href="http://www.agroecologies.org">www.agroecologies.org</a></p> <p>To support this podcast, join our patreon for early, commercial-free episode access at <a href="https://www.patreon.com/poorprolesalmanac" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.patreon.com/poorprolesalmanac</a></p> <p>For PPA Restoration Content, visit: <a href="http://www.restorationagroecology.com">www.restorationagroecology.com</a></p> <p>For PPA Merch, visit: <a href="http://www.poorproles.com">www.poorproles.com</a></p> <p>For PPA Native Plants, visit: <a href="http://www.nativenurseries.org">www.nativenurseries.org</a></p> <p>To hear Tomorrow, Today, our sister podcast, visit:<a href="http://www.tomorrowtodaypodcast.org/"> www.tomorrowtodaypodcast.org/</a></p> <p>Key Words:</p> <p>South Korea, Capitalism, Foreign Exchange Crisis, IMF, Austerity Measures, Working Class, Environmental Protections, Farming Communes, Radical Agroecology, Grassroots Movements, Democracy, Nature, NGO, Life and Peace Movement, Consumer Cooperatives, Political Agroecology, JADAM, Korean Natural Farming, Cooperative Community Agriculture, Hansel and Movement, Capitalistic Pursuits, Late Night Recordings, Passive Income, Patreon</p> <p> </p>
