Why I’m a Social Anarchist (TL613) 03/09/2026

Why I’m a Social Anarchist (TL613) Why do I advocate for Social Anarchism? Because so-called “leaders” in a hierarchical system like ours are inherently corrupt and incompetent. It’s an inescapable fact. Plus, despite what The Democrats preach, the oversized influence of profit is impossible to regulate. Republicans are even worse – they want to exercise all power through money and the few who control it. Here’s what we can do right now, starting today, to achieve real democracy and reduce the domineering role of money and profit over our lives. It’s not a Utopian blueprint, but real, practical solutions that a majority of Americans already embrace. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/40352815

En-Gulfed (TL612) 03/05/2026

En-Gulfed (TL612) Don’t let the bombing of Iran knock you off your game, we’ve got our own regime to take down! DHS atrocities continue. Their goal of one-party state-controlled media is nearly complete with the Ellison takeover of Warner Brothers. Over a thousand dead in The Middle East and counting, mostly civilians. For what? Greater Israel? End-Times Prophecy? The New World Order? And: The rhetoric of The Regime can be as dangerous as the policies they promote – resist the propaganda. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/40320440

Dangerous Idiots (TL611) 03/02/2026

Dangerous Idiots (TL611) The bombing of Iran is wrong for hundred different reasons, including the fact that it’s absolutely moronic. The Regime is actively working on its plan to steal or even cancel the midterm elections and they’re doing it in broad daylight right in front of our eyes. Remember when we were teenagers and thought the adults in charge were all crazy? We were right all along. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/40271075

Summer Time! (TL610) 02/26/2026

Summer Time! (TL610) ICE crimes continue unabated on American streets while corporate media talking heads turn to more profitable stories and still insist on treating The Regime as though it’s legitimate and not a massive criminal enterprise. State Of The Union Report: Rep. Summer Lee stands alone as the hit of the night while Democrats flail and MAGA reaches new lows. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/40236600

Not So Tariff-ying (TL609) 02/23/2026

Not So Tariff-ying (TL609) We share some wise resistance advice from our friends at Closer To The Edge, some advice of or our own on tackling the barrage of late-week headlines (hint: don’t let them gaslight you), and finally, a request: whatever you do, please do NOT watch Tuesday’s State Of The Union! /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/40187520

No Wonder I’m An Anarchist (TL608) 02/19/2026

No Wonder I’m An Anarchist (TL608) Another DHS killing. Degenerate Marco Rubio spits ‘blood & soil’ on the international stage while stumbling Dems look for their legs. The Regime terrorizes the people of Cuba with sanctions and abuses American children in concentration camps. And it’s official: major U.S. news media is conquered, don’t even bother anymore. Sheesh, no wonder I’m an Anarchist. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/40157735

The Price For Freedom (TL607) 02/16/2026

The Price For Freedom (TL607) Court wins for the Dem-6, EPA drops a bomb, ICE on the move, inflated lies, and what’s your price? How much cash would it take to buy your civic soul? /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/40114275

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (TL606) 02/12/2026

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (TL606) Bad Bunny’s slam dunk win for the culture, Pam Blondie’s impeachable performance before House Oversight, and ICE takes its Gestapo act from the streets into the halls Congress. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/40081530

It Can’t Be Tamed (TL605) 02/09/2026

It Can’t Be Tamed (TL605) The regime’s cruelty isn’t a glitch, it’s the system working as designed. Democratic politicians and corporate media talking heads tell us to “stand up and fight back,” but refuse to dismantle the systems that breed white supremacy and capitalist power. Real democracy can’t coexist with profit and control. Abolitionist social anarchy is the only path to collective liberation. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/40033935

Normalize the Resistance (TL604) 02/04/2026

Normalize the Resistance (TL604) The Regime’s brazen new moves to rig elections and the everyday acts you can do to put yourself on the (very obvious) right side of history. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/40000200

Relentless Regime (TL603) 02/02/2026

Relentless Regime (TL603) Rigging the midterms, searching for needles in the Epstein haystack, advocacy journalism challenged, and it’s time for the resistance to broaden our scope – and sharpen our demands. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39948100

Keep America Weird (TL602) 01/29/2026

Keep America Weird (TL602) The regime is building a techno-fascist surveillance state with you as a consumer cog. Join the dreamers and malcontents while there’s still time to defeat the despots and build a better world. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39915570

Abuses and Usurpations (TL601) 01/25/2026

Abuses and Usurpations (TL601) American Fascism takes its show on the road with its Hitleresque board of “peace.” Then, terrorizing an entire city, Secret Police Jackboots conduct another brutal public execution. Abolish ICE/CBP. End the Regime. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39867145

The Trump Whisperers (TL600) 01/22/2026

Stand Up, Shut Down! (TL599) 01/19/2026

Stand Up, Shut Down! (TL599) We cannot match their violence (nor should we try) but neither can we defeat the Regime with so-called “peaceful” protest. Also, normalizing state thuggery and the Venezuela fiasco. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39773400

Heroes and Villains (TL598) 01/14/2026

Heroes and Villains (TL598) The brave and righteous Twin Cities are showing the way! Find resistance training in your town. Also, the Regime triples down on racism and chaos. And, WTF is with the RFK food pyramid? /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39734950

The Moment is Now, Again (TL597) 01/12/2026

The Moment is Now, Again (TL597) America’s unbridled fascism must be stopped. The problem: the only alternative offered is the outdated and exploitative “postwar rules-based order.” There is a third option. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39685145

Another State Murder (TL596) 01/08/2026

Another State Murder (TL596) Old school imperialism, taking the lessons of Jan 6 forward, and a killing cold as ICE. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39654040

Hope, Despair, and Bluster (TL595) 01/05/2026

Hope, Despair, and Bluster (TL595) Mamdani takes the oath and the reins, Regime racism and Israeli brutality continue unabated, and Venezuela marks a renewed U.S. hegemony. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39601075

Happy Holidays (TL593) A look at the many holidays around the globe from ancient traditions to modern takes on the winter party, including mischievous (even dark) characters, and irreverent (even subversive) customs of role-reversal and debt relief. Just what we need. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39415990

Silence The Menace (TL592) 12/18/2025

Silence The Menace (TL592) Vanity Fair stands out among dismal Regime media. Murder week on the high seas, in Hollywood, an Australian beach, and a college campus. Medicare for all, and good elections news. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39449340

In Spite of Themselves (TL591) 12/15/2025

In Spite of Themselves (TL591) It’s campaign season again and Democrats are going to win big – for all the wrong reasons. Legacy media discovers mutual aid, recommended anarchist reading, and some good news: we’re not dead yet! /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39396920

Obstructed Democracy (TL590) 12/11/2025

Obstructed Democracy (TL590) Abandoning Ukraine and Gaza, a looming U.S. State Media, SCOTUS builds a dictator, American democracy deemed “obstructed,” and are YOU a terrorist? /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/39363005
