EP 171: Neoliberal Counterinsurgencies: From BLM to Activism for Palestine in the U.S. Aug 18, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of Hella Black, we look at how neoliberal containment strategies have followed the same playbook from BLM to the activism that's occurred in the U.S. in relation to Palestine. We talk about how neoliberal bureaucrats curate a misleadership class and hand you a false messiah, trained by the nonprofits and the universities and these leadership institutes. We also get into Mamdani milking FDR, Abdul El-Sayed sponsored by Kamala, the DSA as controlled opposition for the Democrats, and the good Muslim/bad Muslim paradigm. And we ask who the welfare state is actually built on, because it's the third world every time. Tap in!!! And be sure to pull up to our live show in Berkeley Sept 4th, 2026 at La Pena Cultural Center!
