Prefiguration and (Cosmic) Utopia with A. M. Gittlitz

Remi and Rudy welcome A. M. Gittlitz, the author of I Want to Believe: J. Posadas, UFOs and Apocalypse Communism and producers of The Antifada podcast to discuss the role of utopias and prefiguration in historical and modern-day communist strategy. We cover topics from Russian Cosmism, the parallels between New World and Space Utopias, the relationship between the subjective and objective conditions for revolution, finding spaces where we can imagine a better world, and how to find hope in the end of the end of history. The episode ends with the opening of Cosmos: Carl Sagan’s hope for a brighter future.
