Warning, today's episode of Revolutionary Left Radio has been hijacked by naive utopian idealists.

0:09.0

They have a high level of beautiful naivety, the type of beautiful naivety that deserves to be crushed and must be crushed.

Revolutionary Left Radio, now a pose of system in you where you know how you like the left who gets the capital of the slice and liberate the world.

0:40.0

And you where you know how you like the left who gets the capital of the slice and liberate the proletarian mind.

0:50.0

Armed for the worthy class, armed for equality, fire against the right wing, fascist ideology, to get in and turn it up loud.

Revolutionary Left Radio, starts now!

1:07.0

Welcome everybody to Revolutionary Left Radio. I'm your host Ann Comrade, Bredo Shea, and today we have on the wrong boys, Sean and Aaron from the seriously wrong podcast to talk about a bunch of different stuff.

1:19.0

We'll get into it. But Sean and Aaron, go ahead and introduce yourselves and say a little bit about your backgrounds for people who don't know who you are.

1:26.0

My name's Aaron. She's my background. I don't know.

1:31.0

We've been doing this podcast for about four years and we're just interested in exploring lots of different ideas and having fun with them and creating 10,000 years of world peace.

1:45.0

Creating 10,000 years of world peace. Yeah, once we reach 1,000 episodes, that's a guarantee from us to you.

1:51.0

We promise. Yeah, and I'm Sean and yeah, I'm like a sort of a comedian and political cartoonist. We both live in Vancouver.

1:59.0

We're both very interested in politics and we like humor and permanent world peace forever. That's our number one is humor, second favorite permanent world peace forever.

2:10.0

Beautiful. So if people that don't know your podcast, how would you kind of frame it? How would you explain it to somebody who's never heard what you guys do?

2:19.0

Well, we're very fascinated with conflict and ideological difference. There's a term that we use that I think was used by Timothy Leary and Robert Antin Wilson reality tunnels.

2:32.0

It's a big fascination of ours that someone could, that two people can look at the exact same information and come to such radically different conclusions partially based on their existing knowledge, but also the language that they prefer to use.

2:45.0

And yeah, we're interested in like how those gaps are bridged and just like how how can we build a mass understanding from from a perspective that like gets results to take care of people make the world a better place and which culminates in perfect utopia forever. That's sort of and and laughing, like laughing and making jokes and having leftism not be something that guts you that makes you feel like the world is hopeless.

3:10.0

That makes you feel like it's too often when you look at the inherited situation we have and like the reality that we face, it's really easy to be extremely like dejected and sad and pessimistic and we want to counteract that.

3:25.0

Yeah, yeah. So if anything like people criticize us for being too optimistic or not being cynical enough or being naive or being, I don't know, unserious, I guess.

3:36.0

Yeah, and those are all true, like accurate criticisms. Yeah, but I think it's good. I think it's like it's a good thing.

3:43.0

Yeah, we started doing the show like very quickly after we met each other and it just sprung out of the conversations that we started having basically immediately, which was surrounding all the kinds of things Sean was talking about and also just like, why aren't people more compassionate to each other?

4:03.0

Like when we're trying to change the world, like compassion's a good thing, right? What's with all this missanthropy? What's with like, oh, humanity sucks. Is that really productive? Is that even really true? Like, yeah, it's true sometimes a lot of humanity sucks sometimes, but it's also often not true.
