Summary: This week Bursts spoke with Lawrence Jarach of Anarchy: A Journal Of Desire Armed (AJODA). We spoke about the publishing project, Individualist Anarchism, Post-Left Anarchy and other topics. A good portion of the discussion focused on the main article of the magazine this last issue, "Against Identity Politics" by Lupus Dragonowl, which attempts to critique essentialist identity organizing but in particular the methods that have reappeared in political scenes around the U.S. over prior years. These methods of engagement (or disengagement) include calling out, accountability processes and denunciations.

In the longer, second file on this page (with podcast in the name) you'll find an extended conversation between Bursts and Lawrence exploring such ideas as accountability, restorative justice versus retributive justice and scene beef.
