Dan Goss is a happy revolutionary. Unlike me Dan actually works hard on many active political campaigns. We first met through Plan C. Although Dan is a very committed and serious organizer, he's also very based and reflective and funny, too, which is why I asked him to do a podcast. We are joined by Rosie Hiscock, who is a working actress and musician. We recorded this podcast in Dan's home in London.   Notes with timestamps: how to shut down a coal mine in South Wales (1:56) activist guilt, and work guilt, and why they're fucked up (7:50) doing direct action just for fun (9:05) honesty as the only radical political obligation (9:40) don't be insecure about seeming selfish (13:00) don't do stupid activist shit if you don't honestly believe it's going to make revolution (15:00) why I like Plan C (15:30) Dan is against altruism and selfishness (15:50) What if the joy of our relationships was the only thing?
