This episode is all about the purpose of launching this podcast- to illuminate the very essence of revolution. Revolutionary Baddies deepens the context and conversation of what it will require of us to build the next American Revolution- which we desperately need. The next American Revolution needs to be the Radical Feminist Revolution, otherwise we will be stuck advancing the same cycles of violence that brought us to this hell scape in the first place. For centuries, patriarchy has dominated our economic, political, criminal justice, healthcare, education, and societal systems we live through and work for each day. RB are proposing something new, but not so new at the same time. We need a revolution created with love, compassion, and humility at the core. We need a revolution of skillful actors committed to eliminating the patriarchal traditions that no longer serve us, and have held us back. The working class and oppressed peoples of the country deserve a better conclusion than better jobs or more welfare. Our future requires shaping. We need a new way of living, managing, and leading our people into real freedom. Revolutionary Baddies explores the words of past revolutionaries and what they believe is necessary to carry out meaningful and responsible tasks.
Question for our listeners:
Do you have a “spirit of sacrifice”? Where does this come from?
What are you willing to sacrifice for the revolution?
