    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.

    Show notes

    In this episode we interview Dr. Michael Sawyer. Sawyer is an assistant professor of Race, Ethnicity, and Migration Studies in the Department of English at Colorado College. We spoke to him about his book, Black Minded: The Political Philosophy of Malcolm X which is part of the Black Critique Series on Pluto Press. Sawyer is also the author of An Africana Philosophy of Temporality.

    Dr. Sawyer shares with us the process of working to expand the academic field of political philosophy to accommodate the critically important contributions of Malcolm X to Black thought. We talk about how political prisoner and SNCC veteran Imam Jamil Al-Amin helped inspire this project which works to acknowledge the role of Malcolm X's political philosophy between that of W.E.B. Du Bois and Frantz Fanon. Through the book and our discussion Sawyer deals with how Malcolm X's thought handles questions of Blackness in relation to ontology, embodiment, geography, and revolution.

    Show notes

    This is a special episode we're going to release through Millennials Are Killing Capitalism. Just to be clear, this episode is not about politics or social movements and falls outside of what we usually do here.

    Hanif Abdurraqib and Jay talk about Daniel Dumile, better known as MF DOOM. Like lots of people, we were really sad to hear of DOOMs passing and just wanted to reflect on his life and some of the many things that we will remember about DOOM.

    Show notes

    Dylan Rodríguez is a Professor in the Department of Media and Cultural Studies at the University of California, Riverside. He is also a founding member of Critical Resistance. In this episode we talk to Rodríguez about his new book White Reconstruction: Domestic Warfare and the Logics of Genocide. Rodríguez explains the historical process of white reconstruction, and the current phase marked by a shift towards what Rodriguez calls multicultural white supremacy. We talk about themes from multiple chapters, including Rodríguez's readings of archival documents related to the Freedman's Bureau and the US colonial war in the Philippines. Rodríguez also talks about Barry Goldwater's creepy white pseudo-indigenous men's club and tribal tattoo. Rodríguez's discusses his analysis of the 13th Amendment, prison strikes and the abolitionist practice of Chicago's We Charge Genocide campaign. We frame the conversation around Rodríguez analysis of Safiya Bukhari's notions of security and radical self-defense. Concepts that he says necessitate forms of militant mutual aid. And he talks about how these concepts along with Bukhari's definition of Black Liberation are central to abolitionist expressions that deal with the reality of anti-Blackness.

    Show notes

    This episode is an informal recap of the hellish year that has been 2020. Joshua and Jared discuss various major events of the year, including moments of promise and frustration.

    We talk about how COVID has changed our world, talk about anti-Black state violence and the movement against it, revisit the NBA strike that almost was, and ask what we have to show for all this electoralism. We finish up by talking about some of the amazing conversation we had this year.

    As a quick note, we are six patrons away from our December goal. You can become one for basically whatever you can afford, like a dollar a month, or some people prefer to pay for the whole year up front, which you can do for less than $11 a year. You can do that at patreon.com/millennialsarekillingcapitalism.

    We both just want to say thank you to everyone who has listened, shared, retweeted our conversations. We want to thank folks who have had study groups about episodes or conversations with others. And definitely thank you to those you who have financially supported us. We look forward to continuing to hold this space for political education in 2021 and beyond.

    Now let's say goodbye to 2020.


    A Political History of Self-Determination in Adom Getachew's Worldmaking after Empire Dec 14, 2020
    Show notes

    In this episode we interview Dr. Adom Getachew. Getachew is a political theorist with research interests in the history of political thought, theories of race and empire, and postcolonial political theory. Her work focuses on the intellectual and political histories of Africa and the Caribbean.

    In this episode we discuss her 2019 book Worldmaking after Empire: The Rise and Fall of Self-Determination. In discussion she shares with us the historical development of the concept of Self-Determination and its relationship to anti-colonial movements as well as imperial projects. She touches on the work of George Padmore, CLR James, W.E.B. Du Bois, Eric Williams, Kwame Nkrumah, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Julius Nyerere, Michael Manley and others.

    Getachew shares contradictions within the concept of self-determination and how the worldmaking visions of anti-colonial nationalists attempted to repurpose institutions like the United Nations. She also discusses the elasticity of empire, and contradictions that arose in the late 1970's which precipitated the decline of these worldmaking projects, and the onslaught of the global neoliberal order.

    Finally we discuss her concept of "unequal integration" and the modern institutional language of diversity, equity & inclusion.

    The Movement to #EndSARS with Ani Kayode Somtochukwu Nov 01, 2020
    Show notes

    In this episode we discuss the movement to #EndSARS with Ani Kayode Somtochukwu, a 21 year old openly gay Queer Liberation activist, writer and journalist living in Enugu state Nigeria. His work focuses on using visibility, and journalism to combat the pathologization and demonization of queer identities in Nigeria. He is the founder of the Queer Union for Economic and Social Transformation( QUEST), an anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist radical queer organization working to combat homophobia, transphobia, and the degeneration of Nigeria into a neo-fascist police state.

    In this episode we talk to Ani Kayode about the #EndSARS movement, its relationship to the fight for dignity for queer people in Nigeria. We also talk about the absurdity of calls for redress from countries with their own ongoing regimes of anti-Black state violence and ongoing neocolonial relations in Africa. He also discusses the role of AFRICOM, IDF, and the World Bank in creating the conditions Nigerians are protesting against. Embeddied in this all is a deep critique of the colonial construct of policing itself.
