A Radical History
January 27, 2018
I launched A Radical Guide with a blog post about the beginning story of A Radical Guide. It was an idea I had for a long time but standing in front of Librairie Quilombo, a radical bookstore and community place in Paris motivated something in me to take it from an idea to action.
When we began, the site looked a little different from how it does now. To help find bugs and to see if this design worked for people, I invited people to become beta testers for ARG.

A Radical Audiobook Series
July 3, 2023
Our inaugural title in this series is “A Radical Audiobook: Mutual Aid – A Factor of Evolution by Peter Kropotkin.” Initially published in 1902, this profound work invites us to explore the concept of ‘mutual aid.’ Kropotkin challenges the competition-focused theories of social Darwinism and romantic depictions of universal love found in the work of thinkers like Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Instead, he emphasizes the practical advantages of mutual aid for the survival and prosperity of both animal and human communities.
