Last Born In The Wilderness

Rhyd Wildermuth is co-founder and managing editor of Gods&Radicals, a nonprofit pagan anticapitalist publication. Rhyd identifies as a pagan and an anarchist, and as we go over in this episode, those are not mutually exclusive terms. Rhyd gives a description as to why Paganism, in the Americanized sense, has lost touch with its radical anticapitalist roots, and through his work and writings, Rhyd is attempting to provide a much-needed reinterpretation of what it means to be Pagan in these tumultuous, crisis-laden times. Rhyd left America behind to spend his remaining days in Europe, where he currently resides. We discuss his expatriation, the recent events in Charlottesville and its fallout, and how anarchists and anti-capitalists of all stripes and creeds have work to do preparing and adapting to the accelerating collapse of capitalism and the American Empire. // Episode notes: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/rhyd-wildermuth // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewi
