What's Next for Sci-Fi and it's Empires? w/ RevLeftRadio

We're back into Science Fiction, and with a great friend and comrade! As Breht from RevLeftRadio fame joins us to talk about the relationship of this genre and Empires.

Talking the roots of imperial representation, how we can critique them, and how a lot goes back into colonialism, fascist projects and more.

A wonderful dive into how this genre and this representation and structure connect, enjoy!
