Not a Goodbye, but a See You Later
Hey everyone, this is Artxmis with the Uncivilized Podcast. I just wanted to give a quick update and explanation concerning our recent inactivity.
Hey everyone, this is Artxmis with the Uncivilized Podcast. I just wanted to give a quick update and explanation concerning our recent inactivity.
Artxmis is joined by Voice of Failure (VOF) to discuss the limits and bounds of the traditional anarcho-primitivist critique, such as anthropology, ecology, and the primacy of material reality. Strap in, it’s a dense but interesting conversation!
For those new, Plastic in Utero: a journal of anti-civ anarchy reborn from the compost of wasteland modernity (from now on, PIU) is an extension of the Uncivilized Project, which encompasses the Uncivilized Podcast and Uncivilized Distro. It centers the idea that anarchist ideas/theory can be fun and provocative, not dry and orderly. PIU contributors don’t participate to make a system of thought or propose a blue-print for the masses (well hopefully not, because we won’t encourage that here).

Original title: Uncivilized Podcast 56-- Evolved Nest: Anarchist Community? with Darcia Narvaez
Darcia Narvaez is a Professor of Psychology Emerita at the University of Notre Dame. Her primary work centers on the relationship between human and ecological well being, driven primarily by what she calls our evolved developmental niche or evolved nest, which we will get into today. Her most recent book is 2023, The Evolved Nest: Nature’s Way Of Raising Children And Creating Connected Communities
Brady and Artxmis talk about anarchism and violence. They seek to begin to answer or bring forth discussion about the following questions: What is the relationship between anarchism and violence? Is violence an innate part of the anarchist milieu? Is it a corruption of anarchist ethics? Or is it more difficult than this? (As a reminder, we don’t support violence.)

Artxmis talks with Alexandra Szopinski of the WSA and AUJ (Workers Solidarity Alliance and Anarchist Union Journal, respectively) to discuss anarchist-syndicalism in theory and practice, historical and contemporary.
