This episode is a talk by author Charlie Allison, given at the first annual Upstate Anarchist Book Fair, held May 4 & 5, 2024 in Binghamton, NY. The subject of the talk was Allison's 2023 book, No Harmless Power: The Life and Times of the Ukrainian Anarchist Nestor Makhno.

Makhno and the movement he began are seldom mentioned in most mainstream histories—Western or Russian—mostly on the grounds that acknowledging anarchist politics calls into question the inevitability and desirability of the nation-state and unjust hierarchies.

Charlie Allison is an anarchist writer, storyteller, and activist who lives in Philadelphia.

There are FIVE versions of this talk on the R4A server. All are 58 minutes. VERSIONS 1- 4 CONTAIN POTENTIALLY OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE AS DETAILED ABOVE:

Version 1: Optimized for RADIO PLAY (-24 LUFS 192kbps Mp3).

Version 2: A RADIO READY edit (-24 LUFS 192kbps Mp3). Includes my intro/mid/outro.

Version 3: Optimized for INDIVIDUAL USE (-19 LUFS 128kbps Mp3). Identical content to Version 1, but a louder file encoded at a lower bitrate so it uses less storage space on your device.

Version 4: Optimized for INDIVIDUAL USE (-19 LUFS 128kbps Mp3). Identical content to Version 2, but a louder file encoded at a lower bitrate so it uses less storage space on your device.

Version 5: A sanitized RADIO READY edit (-24 LUFS 192kbps Mp3) in which I silenced the potentially offensive words. Includes my intro/mid/outro. I added this version (later) in the interest of making the talk more suitable for radio play.
