The State Between Us

Historian of Irish resistance Pádraig Ó Ruairc joins Fritz to discuss the rise of the British Fascisti (yes, that's what they called themselves), the first Fascist organization in the UK, their imperial and class origins, their freaky friends and their terrible role in the occupation of Ireland.

What is The State Between Us?

My name is Fritz McAlinden and this is The State Between Us, the anti-fascist podcast for dark dives into the ruling class insanity and fashy political cultures as well as our defenses against them through mutual aid and building each other up, sharing knowledge, and connecting the disparate voices in our overlapping struggles. Also TTRPGs, Sci-Fi, and other nerd shit. Let's get weird with it!
