Episode description

Peter Thomson joins Tim and David to discuss the merits and consequences of violence and community in the face of oppression or political stagnation. In an increasingly polarised world (see Jonathan Haidt's Righteous Mind), the approaches we have to make change are varied in morality and efficacy. Violence should never be the answer, but can it be? Unionism seems to be underappreciated or misused, so what's the alternative? If you're feeling disillusioned by the coming Australian Federal Election (or by your local politics) this episode will provide some food for thought and inspire your actions of influence.
