The State Between Us

Friend of the show, Nina Nix, introduces the hellish struggle of train workers in Slovakia to wrestle their dignity back from capitalist labor pressure and a nationalist mob state ruled by a corrupt OP goon who is more machine than man. Also, Nina discusses her musical history and latest album as TSBU's favorite composer, Koleso Nešťastia.

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!
