It's official we are heading into the biggest shit-show in human history. The U.N says there is no ‘credible pathway’ to staying under 1.5C (October 2022). Revolution is now inevitable, a great danger and a great opportunity to create a new revitalised democracy, or allow fascism to drag us all into hell. Far from it being the end it's just the beginning, there's everything to play for but only if we organise and resist as if our lives depend upon it, because they do. Roger Hallam has stu...

How do we find the courage to act when it feels like the world is crumbling around us? In this powerful talk, Roger shares their journey from fear to resilience, the failures of modern activism, and why we must reclaim a deeper sense of purpose in our resistance.

BONUS: How To Beat Fascism

Nov 20th, 2024 12:09 PM

Trump’s re-election could feel like the end of hope, but is it really? In this talk, I explore how this moment could be the trigger we need to build a new world—one rooted in love, not power. By shifting our thinking, organising assemblies, and fostering deep connection, we can counter despair and fascism alike. I discuss the foundational human need for love and how it transforms politics, drawing from psychology and practical examples. From personal stories to assembly blueprints, I lay out a roadmap for creating mass movements capable of real change. Want to get involved in Assemblies?

Ep. 6 Beyond the Pain: Turning Vulnerability Into Collective Power

Nov 20th, 2024 5:59 AM

In this podcast, I explore the deep and often confusing relationship between suffering, resilience, and transformation. We live in a world where the rational, calm approach to life doesn’t seem to be working – in fact, it’s taking us to the edge. So, what happens when we embrace vulnerability instead of avoiding it? How can suffering, something most of us wish to escape, actually become a source of strength? I reflect on the paradox that lies at the heart of the struggle for change: suffering, when confronted with humility and empathy, can lead not only to personal transcendence but to collective power. Whether it’s the resilience found in the aftermath of conflict, or the strength that emerges when we face the suffering of others, there’s more at play than we might realise. This podcast dives into how the very vulnerability we seek to avoid is the key to true revolution, both within ourselves and in the world around us. Join me in unpacking the lessons hidden in pain, and how they can fuel the fire for a transformative change that will carry us into a new world.

Ep. 5 It's Time To Get Emotional

Nov 11th, 2024 5:47 PM

In this episode, I reflect on the power of emotion in shaping social change. After receiving a five-year sentence, I explore how modern culture is evolving to embrace emotionality, moving beyond the cold rationalism of past centuries. Through the lens of personal experience, feminist thought, and revolutionary activism, I argue that reason and emotion are not opposites but inseparable in decision-making and social confrontation. From courtroom outbursts to the legacy of activist Larry Kramer, I discuss how feelings—not detached logic—drive change and why it’s time to reconsider the role of emotion in our collective movements. This episode is an exploration of what it means to fully engage in the messy, emotional reality of being human, and how that very engagement can be the catalyst for deep cultural transformation. Join me as we break down the false dichotomy between reason and emotion and chart a new path towards a more connected, emotionally aware civilization.

Ep. 4 The Prison Of Perception

Sep 27th, 2024 12:00 AM

In this episode of Spirit of Revolution, I challenge the materialist worldview we've all been taught to accept. I'll dive into the mind-bending implications of quantum physics, the illusion of "stuff," and how our entire social system is built on shaky ground. Together, we'll explore how changing our perception of reality—of self, the world, and even time—can free us from the prisons we've been locked into. Join me as we question everything and find new ways to resist and transform.
