One of these is wrong. I hope to illuminate how our communities already depend on Mutual Aid, in big and small ways. I'll do that by excavating the historical events and cultural trends you already know about, but have never thought about in terms of anarchism.

He even played an English professor who faced cancellation for teaching anarchist literature! Then in the 1960s, he was the literal father figure that New Left Hollywood figures Jane and Peter Fonda were rebelling against. And Henry let himself be used as a villain in Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West , playing the embodiment of rapacious American capitalism. Alexander Horwath weaves together all these threads into his essay film Henry Fonda for President . As we live in a world haunted by 50 years of neoliberal decay, the America Fonda represented seems further away than ever, even as his films still crackle with righteous rage against injustice. Alex and I talk about all these issues and more - I hope you enjoy the conversation, and see the film when you have a chance!","meta_description":"More than any other individual, Henry Fonda was a symbol for better, more leftist, more social democratic America, from The Grapes of Wrath to 12 Angry Me…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":5674,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/everyday-anarchism-4260069/episodes/167-henry-fonda-for-president-alexander-horwath/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/everyday-anarchism-4260069/167-henry-fonda-for-president-alexander-horwath.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
