Happy 4th Anniversary to Everyday Anarchism!
For this year's anniversary episode, Ruth Kinna comes on to talk about a couple of Hollywood Westerns: Fort Apache (John Ford, 1948) and Rancho Notorious (Fritz Lang, 1952).
Hollywood Westerns are about law and order, violence and vigilantism, community and individualism, savagery and civilization, and imperialism and resistance. They're perfect for illustrating political ideals - and that's just what Ruth and I do!
Look forward to an episode all about the activism and idealism of Henry Fonda with the director of Henry Fonda for President at some future date.
Thanks again to Ruth, but above all thanks to everyone for listening for the past four years!
