Episode Description

Can hierarchical methods produce liberatory outcomes? Episode 1 of Means and Ends in Radical Action explores why anarchist movements insist that how we organize must reflect what we're fighting to build.We break down four specific ways organizing methods shape what movements can create:

👉Methods develop capacities

👉Methods transform consciousness

👉Methods create precedents

👉Methods build material bases.


This episode examines the core anarchist principle: the revolution must prefigure the society it aims to create.
