When the streets become a noisy classroom, Philion asks whether protest is politics or performance. In this 3-minute distillation of a 35-minute field report, host Philion (with appearances by organizer Zoran Mamdani) walks through an anti‑West protest and communist rally to expose contradictions between rhetoric and reality. You’ll get crisp takeaways on why “Dooming is defeat,” how organizers reconcile ideology with fundraising, and the tensions between optimism, nihilism, and practical politics. Learn what organizers actually propose (from worker control to tax shifts), where credibility cracks appear, and how geopolitics and local demands collide. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
