00. Claim no easy victories; On EndSARS

We attempted a first episode on the historical significance of the revolt, the absence of a general strike (unlike in #Occupy2012), the revolutionary duties of artists and celebrities, the pitfalls of leaderless organising, and on what the Nigerian Left can learn from #EndSARS.

(forgive the poor audio quality - we are yet to acquire professional production!)
