    Fascism, Capitalism, and Culture Wars
    Oct 20 2026
    This week, Ez (he/him) is back and hitting the ground running,and flying solo he breaks down the systems shaping our world such as capitalism, fascism, culture wars, activism, and socialism. From understanding why trans people have become targets in political distraction campaigns, to exploring how “last‑stage” capitalism fuels instability and how fascism exploits that chaos, this episode offers a guide to making sense of the moment we’re living through. Drawing inspiration from The Triploi Podcast and David Pakman’s The Echo Machine, we unpack complex ideas, trace the roots of inequality, and highlight the power of solidarity, unionising, and collective care. Ultimately, this is a hopeful conversation about why revolution is inevitable, why community is the antidote, and how we can build a new world together. Ez also discusses the week in community news, MELT festival events - including Tranzmission Live: The Antidote, the importance of community radio plus a bunch of interesting stats from the CBAA, as well as recapping T.I.T. Together In Transition Event from July where Tranzmission raised over $2000 for Project 491.
