    Millennials Are Killing Capitalism

    We created this podcast in recognition that there are a number of podcasts for the American “left,” but many of them focus heavily on the organizing of social democrats, progressives, and liberal democrats. Aside from that, on the left we are always fighting a war of ideas and if we do not continue to build platforms to share those ideas and the stories of their implementation from a leftist perspective, they will continue to be ignored, misrepresented, and dismissed by the capitalist media and as a result by the general public.

    Our goal is to provide a platform for communists, anti-imperialists, Black Liberation movements, ancoms, left libertarians, LBGTQ activists, feminists, immigration activists, and abolitionists to discuss radical politics, radical organizing and share their visions for a better world. Our goal is to center organizers who represent and work with marginalized communities building survival programs, defense programs, political education, and counterpower.

    We also plan to bring in perspectives on and from the global south to highlight anti-capitalist struggles outside the imperial core. We view solidarity with decolonization, indigenous, anti-imperialist, environmentalist, socialist, and anarchist movements across the world as necessary steps toward meaningful liberation for all people.

    Too often within the imperial core we focus on our own struggles without taking the time to understand those fighting for freedom from beneath the empire’s thumb. It is important to highlight these struggles, learn what we can from them, offer solidarity, and support with action when we can. It is not enough to Fight For $15 an hour and Single-Payer within the core, while the US actively fights against the self-determination of the people of the global economically and militarily.

    We recognize that except for the extremely wealthy and privileged, our fates and struggles are intrinsically connected. We hope that our podcast becomes a meaningful platform for organizers and activists fighting for social change to connect their local movements to broader movements centered around the fight to end imperialism, capitalism, racism, discrimination based on gender identity or sexuality, sexism, and ableism.

    "We Charge Genocide, Again" - Jalil Muntaqim on The Spirit of Mandela Tribunal, Political Prisoners, and a Life in Struggle Jun 27, 2021
    Show notes

    In this episode we interview Black Panther Party and Black Liberation Army veteran Jalil Muntaqim. Muntaqim was political prisoner for nearly half a century due to his involvement in the liberation struggle. He was released from prison in October of 2019 after eleven parole denials. He is the author of We Are Our Own Liberators, which we discuss some in the episode, and Escaping The Prism… Fade to Black, a collection of poetry and essays.

    In this discussion we talk about some of Muntaqim's life, political development, and organizing both before being incarcerated, and during his 49 years in prison. Muntaqim recounts some of the thinkers who most strongly influenced his political development. He also talks about many political prisoners still held in US prisons that people need to fight for. In terms of that struggle, he highlights the importance of In The Spirit of Mandela International Tribunal on US Human Rights Violations which is upcoming in October of 2021. This Spirt of Mandela campaign is a continuation of a long history of international human rights efforts led by the Black Left in the United States. Muntaqim talks about The Spirit of Mandela Tribunal's relationship to the 70th Anniversary of the We Charge Genocide campaign led by William Patterson and Paul Robeson. And we ask Muntaqim about his own efforts organizing international human rights campaigns from behind the walls.

    Millennials Are Killing Capitalism has signed on as an endorser of The Spirit of Mandela campaign and we encourage others to do the same. It is an international effort, so endorsers outside of the US can participate in supporting this campaign as well. Go to SpiritofMandela.org to learn more, to endorse the tribunal, and to support financially.

    Additionally, we seek Muntaqim's insights on the ways that the iconography of the Black Panther Party has been co-opted and profited from, and how these efforts in no way support the political legacy or financially support actual members of the Black Panther Party who are often political prisoners or veterans of the movement needing financial support after years of sacrifice and repression. In light of this, we also are becoming monthly patrons of the patreon fund that has been set up for Mutual Aid for Veteran Black Panther Party Members. And we encourage others to do the same.


    Max Ajl On A People's Green New Deal Jun 20, 2021
    Show notes

    In this episode we interview Max Ajl, author of the new book A People's Green New Deal.

    Max Ajl is an associated researcher with the Tunisian Observatory for Food Sovereignty and the Environment and a postdoctoral fellow with the Rural Sociology Group at Wageningen University. He has written for Monthly Review, Jacobin and Viewpoint. He has contributed to a number of journals, including the Journal of Peasant Studies, Review of African Political Economy and Globalizations, and is an associate editor at Agrarian South & Journal of Labor and Society

    In this discussion we talk to Ajl about his critiques of various forms of climate policy emanating from the capitalist and imperialist ruling class, and he situates the AOC/Markey Green New Deal as sharing a great deal ideologically and in terms of program with other capitalist so-called solutions to the climate crisis.

    What Ajl advocates instead is an anti-colonial perspective, and a total infrastructural and agricultural transformation in the Global North, and strong solidarity movements and convergences with climate proposals coming from the Global South, such as those laid out in the Cochabamba People's Accords.

    We strongly recommend this book as key to framing what a liberatory horizon can be for climate struggle on the left.

    If you appreciate the work we do, we continue to try to put out about an episode a week, if you are able to support us by becoming a patron of the show for as little as $1 per month, you can help continue to make this show possible and accessible for those who cannot afford to make such a contribution.

    Now here is Max Ajl on his book A People's Green New Deal.

    The Struggle Is Eternal: Gloria Richardson and Black Liberation with Joseph R. Fitzgerald May 26, 2021
    Show notes

    In this interview we talk to Joseph R. Fitzgerald, associate professor of history and political science at Cabrini University and author of The Struggle Is Eternal: Gloria Richardson and Black Liberation. Perhaps most known today as the subject of an iconic photo where she pushes away a bayonet and stares down the national guardsman whose wielding it, Gloria Richardson was a dynamic leader of the Cambridge Nonviolent Action Committee.

    We talk to Dr. Fitzgerald about Ms. Richardson's life, her time at Howard University, and her leadership in the Cambridge Movement. We also talk about her relationship to Malcolm X and other prominent figures in the Black Liberation Movement, and her role in the development of Black Power politics. Fitzgerald also talks about Ms. Richardson's thoughts on electoralism, cooptation, and her experience at the March on Washington.

    Ms. Richardson turned 99 years old earlier this month, and along with Dr. Fitzgerald's biographic commentary we've weaved in some brief excerpts from an interview she gave several years ago. A link to that interview is found in the show notes, and we encourage folks to also seek out interviews with her and read The Struggle Is Eternal: Gloria Richardson and Black Liberation, which provides a deep exploration of her life, her organizing and her political thought.

    Hanif Abdurraqib & Fred Moten - "Building a Stairway to Get Us Closer to Something Beyond this Place" May 13, 2021
    Show notes

    This is a dialogue between Hanif Abdurraqib and Fred Moten.

    Hanif Abdurraqib has been on the show twice before, but we really have not done a proper episode to honor his work. So we wanted to figure out a unique way to commemorate the release of A Little Devil In America: Notes In Praise of Black Performance. It dawned on us that a lot of Fred Moten's work was wrestling with many of the same questions explored in Hanif's. So we invited both of them to join us in a dialogue, and they both graciously accepted.

    Due to the improvisational casual nature of the conversation, it did not make sense to edit the episode the way we normally do. Aside from attempting to align the mic levels as much as possible and removing a few minor audio blemishes, what you hear is true to the live discussion. Certainly something is lost in you all not having been there with us, but hopefully something has been found and preserved as well.


    "There's No Such Thing as a Decolonized Museum" - Zoé Samudzi on southern Africa, settler colonialism, genocide and museums May 08, 2021
    Show notes

    In this episode we talk to Zoé Samudzi. Dr. Samudzi has a PhD in Medical Sociology from the University of California, San Francisco. Her dissertation was about German colonialism, the Herero/Nama genocide, and the afterlife of that genocidal structure in the present. Her writing has appeared in Art in America, The New Republic, The New Inquiry, Jewish Currents, and other outlets. She is co-author of As Black as Resistance, which we spoke with her and co-author William C. Anderson back in 2018.

    In this conversation we talk about a range of topics related to settler colonialism and colonization in Africa, specifically in modern day Namibia, Zimbabwe and South Africa. Zoé shares with us some of the historical fights between European nation states, and European settlers in Southern Africa. She also shares a little bit of history on the Nama/Herero genocide and how it was utilized by the British to undermine the German Empire. Josh and Zoé explore the relationship between colonialism and fascism. And Zoé also shares some thoughts on the film Exterminate All The Brutes and challenges US exceptionalism in relationship to our analysis of settler colonialism and genocide.

    Finally, Zoé talks about museums as ongoing sites of colonial violence and we discuss this in relationship to the recent revelations about the U Penn museum and U Penn and Princeton's use of the remains of Delisha and Tree Africa, two MOVE children killed in the 1985 bombing, whose remains were taken from their families without consent or notice.

    MOVE has an event scheduled for May 15th in recognition of the 36th Anniversary of the MOVE bombing. You can also see their press conference addressing U Penn.

    And there's a petition for the repatriation of the remains of Tree and Delisha, and financial reparations to the affected families.

    "To Only Fight For White People Would Be Counter-Revolutionary" - Hy Thurman on Becoming a Young Patriot and The Forming of The Rainbow Coalition May 01, 2021
    Show notes

    In this episode we interview Hy Thurman, founding member of the Young Patriots, and the Rainbow Coalition.

    Our conversation focuses on his recently published memoir Revolutionary Hillbilly: Notes From The Struggle On The Edge Of The Rainbow.

    We begin the conversation discussing growing up in a family of poor white farm workers in Appalachia and the conditions in Tennessee that lead to his migration to Chicago along with tens of thousands of other displaced Appalachians. We talk about how police harassment, bigotry and violence structured his adolescent years in both Tennessee and when he arrived in Chicago. And then he gets into various aspects of the conditions in Uptown, the Daley political regime in Chicago, and the extortive practices of the Chicago PD that gave rise to radical organizing and would eventually lead to the development of the Young Patriots Organization (YPO).

    Hy talks about the organizing work of the YPO fighting gentrification, organizing health clinics, and touches on others aspects of their survival programs and organizing against police brutality. Ultimately Hy gets into conversations around their approach to questions of racism, class and gender. And we talk about their controversial use - and eventual denouncement - of the Confederate flag. And we discuss their 11 point program and their participation in the Rainbow Coalition. Along the way Hy shares memories of his interactions with Fred Hampton and Bobby Lee from the Black Panther Party, and shares his thoughts on Judas And The Black Messiah.

    Finally Hy talks about his current work with the North Alabama School For Organizers.

    Just a content notice there are discussions of state violence including murder and sexual assault by police.

Devyn also shares insights on key issues facing African peoples today in Africa and across the diaspora. And Josh and Devyn discuss the continued relevance of Springer's piece from 2017, Does The Western Left Have An Africa Problem?

    "A Really Deep-Seated Notion of Love" - The Red Nation on The Red Deal: Indigenous Action to Save Our Earth Apr 17, 2021
    Show notes

    In this episode we interview Justine Teba, Orien Longknife, and Demetrius Johnson from The Red Nation. Our discussion centers around the book The Red Deal: Indigenous Action To Save Our Earth, which is the first book release from the Red Media imprint on Common Notions.

    The Red Deal is a call for action beyond the scope of the US colonial state. It's a program for Indigenous liberation, life, and land—an affirmation that colonialism and capitalism must be overturned for this planet to be habitable for human and other-than-human relatives to live dignified lives. The Red Deal is not a response to the Green New Deal, or a "bargain" with the elite and powerful. It's a deal with the humble people of the earth; a pact that we shall strive for peace and justice and a declaration that movements for justice must come from below and to the left.

    In 2019 we had a conversation with Nick Estes that touched on The Red Deal, but the new book offers a full elaboration of the program.

    We talk to Justine, Orien and Demetrius about the creation of the book and many of the topics covered within it. Including how struggles for indigenous sovereignty, decolonization, anti-imperialism, food sovereignty, and the caretaking economy are central to the struggle to maintain a habitable Earth. Along the way we also cover indigenous science, the importance of organizations, and how The Red Nation see their role in revitalizing the spirit of indigenous resistance.

    Please remember to support Millennials Are Killing Capitalism and Red Media on patreon if you enjoy our content and are able to support and make sure you go pick up a copy of The Red Deal and tune into their launch party on April 22nd.
