The COVID-19 Diaries Part 1: Survival Instincts, Xenophobia & Mutual Aid
Channel: AllisonFM
Date: 2020-03-20

What is it about pandemics or times of crises that cause people in America to either a) panic and become self centered to a toxic degree, or b) awaken to 'class consciousness' and realize the importance of looking out for one another?


I decided to look at the COVD-19 outbreak in America through an Anarchist lens to determine whether or not our society has failed us in preparing us for outbreaks like this one.


This is PART ONE in a series that'll examine different aspects of pandemic situations. Next week... we'll dig into the political side of things and point out the utter failures of Capitalism and oligarchy.
