The science-fiction scriptwriters got it wrong when they wrote about the Borg on Star Trek or the mind-controlling aliens in "Invaders From Mars." Collective existence isn’t something that’s alien to humanity. We're only fully human, in fact, when we're part of something greater than ourselves. In this week's episode of All For All, host Richard (RJ) Eskow discusses self-help vs. other-help and the power of collective action, drawing on diverse sources such as popular culture, Thatcherite neoliberalism, historical disasters, religion, and the communist concept of the “comrade.”
