Contours of the World Commune w/ Felix from Friends of the Classless Society

Contours of the World Commune w/ Felix from Friends of the Classless Society

Author: Jamie Peck and Sam Beard August 20, 2025 Duration: 1:03:08

Jamie and Sam are joined by Felix from the Berlin-based discussion and publication group Friends of the Classless Society to discuss their piece “Contours of the World Commune, ” which can be found in Endnotes #5. This text offers an exciting glimpse of what this world commune might look like, so we can keep our eyes on the prize as we build revolutionary power in the here and now. What is the relevance of Marx’s transitional “first stage” of communism in a late-capitalist economic landscape? Should we abolish the suburbs? Are rural land projects an escapist delusion or is there something there, after all? All this and more in this week's audio-only episode.

Hosted by Jamie Peck and Sam Beard, Party Girls is a conversation that blends sharp political analysis with the intimate, connective tissue of gossip. Jamie, known for her work on The Majority Report and other leftist commentary, teams up with Sam, a Chicago-based organizer, to create a space where theory meets the messy reality of daily life. The discussions here aren't dry lectures; they're lively, often funny, and deeply human, weaving together perspectives from news, music, and culture through a specific lens. You'll hear them dissect current events and political structures with the same earnest curiosity they apply to sharing stories and personal reflections. This podcast operates on the idea that the personal is political and the political can be surprisingly personal, finding the threads of collective struggle and joy in unexpected places. It’s a mix of thoughtful critique and casual, comedic rapport that makes complex ideas feel accessible and urgent. Tune in for a unique fusion of perspectives that challenges how we think about community, power, and the stories we tell each other.
