21: Serbian National Project II : Vampires, Anarchists and Burritos (teaser)
About this episode
The crew slows down for a 'kaffeeklatsch' to elaborate on some themes in the previous episode. Rey expands on some surprising connections of Karađorđe Petrović and Boris brings us up to date on his American and British royal heirs today. They discuss the origin of vampires in the 'Western' imagination and the effort to invent new traditions during the Serbian national project. The boys then spend some time on the significance of anarchism in the 19th century, specifically in Serbia, and talk about Bakunin's broad influence and his struggles with Marx. Also included: Young Bosnia and Gavrilo Princip, Bolsheviks riding anarchist coattails, and a scandalous royal burrito shop incident.
This is The Empire Never Ended, the Antifascist Amerikanski-Balkan podcast about (neo) fascist terror, the (deep) state and the alienation, nihilism and desperation produced by the capitalist system. And how to get rid of all that.
