In this episode, Denée and Sean explore a new book by the Pinko Collective, After Accountability: A Critical Genealogy of a Concept. We discuss the older lineages of accountability in socialist organizations (including criticism/self-criticism), as well as more recent efforts like INCITE or Critical Resistance. The concept of “community” looms behind all these conversations (and this podcast), and the book offers some critical insight into the meaning of community in a revolutionary sense.

A Tender Riot will be going on hiatus for a bit this summer, but we may pop in with some guest hosts before we’re back up and running later this year!

A Tender Riot is a podcast about abolition, socialism, and relating to each other as whole human beings.
