    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.

    Episode 54: Sekou Odinga On Political Prisoners, The Black Panthers And The Black Liberation Army May 07, 2020
    Show notes

    In this episode we are honored to interview Sekou Odinga. Odinga is a former member of Malcolm X's Organization of Afro-American Unity, a founding member of New York Chapter of the Black Panther Party and one of the falsely charged New York Panther 21. He was also a founding member of the International Black Panther Party chapter which set up an embassy in Algeria.

    After returning to the US, Odinga joined the Black Liberation Army. In 1984 he was convicted of multiple charges, including the liberation of Assata Shakur. While he contested the charge legally, after serving almost 34 years for the conviction, he has acknowledged that he is honored to be connected with the Assata's liberation.

    Sekou Odinga shares reflections, memories and lessons from the struggles of his era. He also joins us specifically to highlight the need to bring home political prisoners. The political prisoners from his generation are all elders, many of them with compromised immune systems, who have all served decades in prison for their political activity.

    Show notes

    In this episode we talk to Asad Haider. Haider is the author of Mistaken Identity: Race and Class in the Age of Trump (Verso, 2018), and a founding editor of Viewpoint Magazine.

We also talk about the strategy of socialists attaining power electorally within a capitalist system, and how socialists should think about the state.

    We discuss other forms of socialist organizing, strategies for building political power, and the shifting landscape of labor politics and capitalist economics in the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Show notes

    This is a special episode that was the result of an impromptu study group which focused on Robin DG Kelley's interview entitled "Solidarity Is Not A Market Exchange."

    Episode 51: Aesthetic Markers of Genocide - Ju-Hyun Park On Bong Joon-ho's Parasite Apr 20, 2020
    Show notes

    In this episode we interview Ju-Hyun Park, author of the piece "Reading Colonialism In Parasite." We talk to them about their piece, and Ju-Hyun provides a ton of great context and background information for the film (spoilers!), but also a powerful reading of the film itself. We end with a couple of questions relevant to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Ju-Hyun Park is a writer of the Korean diaspora and a member of Nodutdol for Korean Community Development. Their work has appeared or is forthcoming in Public Radio International, The Fader, Out of Print and the Evergreen Review. They live in Lenape land called Brooklyn, New York.


    Episode 50 - Militant Education, Liberation Struggle, Consciousness - PAIGC Education with Sónia Vaz Borges Mar 29, 2020
    Show notes

    In this episode we interview Sónia Vaz Borges to discuss her book Militant Education, Liberation Struggle, Consciousness: The PAIGC Education In Guinea Bissau 1963-1978.

    This book brings to light the educational project developed by the PAIGC during the period of the armed liberation struggle against the Portuguese colonial regime in Guinea Bissau and in the immediate period after independence until 1978.

    This work includes an extended analysis of reports and printed material produced by the PAIGC, and expands its sources to oral testimonies, exploring militants' individual and collective experiences in education under the colonial regime, that finally led the Party militants to develop their concept, practices, and materials for the militant education project.

    We talk to Sónia about several critical elements of her study of liberation struggle and educational praxis in Guinea Bissau. We hope that this discussion serves to further all of our investigations into how we create truly liberatory political & militant education by illuminating the amazing, rarely studied efforts of the PAIGC, which are part of an under explored, but rich tradition of revolutionary political education projects.
