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.

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?
