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 persp... more

Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 924 ratings
  • Enunciation!

    One star is for host Josh who I cannot understand because he speaks very fast without the necessary intonation, pitch, power or pace that allows a podcast listener without the visual clues that lip reading provides to understand Josh speaking the English language. I am very interested in the topics and assume that they would be valuable, informative and necessary information in the current chaos and political environment. The topics alone are obviously a 5 star rating. However rn the episodes Jo... more

  • Excellent

    This podcast and the This is Solidarity podcast are two of the best actual left (not liberal!) sources of information out there. The lens with which they view and discuss the topics is intersectional and much needed. Would love

    for the host to have some deeper questions at times to tie history or solidarity movements together.

  • Great topics and guests

    It’s great to see a podcast like this in general, but especially right now with fascist and authoritarian movements here and abroad. This has an excellent range of topics and guests with credibility and integrity.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Revolt Eclipses Whatever The World Has to Offer with Idris Robinson
Q: What does your concept of civil war as a reality within the heart of empire imply for strategic organizing and where should activists focus their efforts?
Civil war is framed as a structural, ongoing process of fracture within American society; the emphasis is on preparing, localizing, and reforming governance in smaller, federated units to advance emancipation, while recognizing potential breakups of the central state as opportunities for transformative change.
The Revolt Eclipses Whatever The World Has to Offer with Idris Robinson
Q: How do you see the role of infrastructure and logistics in modern revolutions, and why is the old image of workers taking over the factory insufficient?
He contends that the contemporary built environment—electric grids, water systems, and transport networks—must be understood and leveraged as engines of resistance; revolution today involves navigating and transforming these hubs to sustain insurrection beyond traditional factory-centric models.
The Revolt Eclipses Whatever The World Has to Offer with Idris Robinson
Q: Can you expand on the point about the myth of black leadership and what replaces it as a guiding principle for collective action?
Robinson argues that leadership is not the defining feature of uprisings; instead, a black avant-garde acts as a paradigm for revolutionary possibility, demonstrating how collective action can emerge from distributed, inspired practices rather than from a single charismatic leader.
Spring Surge to Melt ICE: Dare to Struggle on Building Organized Mass Resistance to Smash the Deportation Machine
Q: What will it take to end the mass deportation machine?
A national, coordinated strategy that goes beyond localized protests, centers the people most affected by deportations, builds durable leadership, and uses mass resistance to pressure both parties while preparing to confront the state directly.
"Death Itself Is On Sale" - Ali Kadri on The Accumulation of Waste
Q: What is the primary contradiction in relation to capital and imperialism?
The principal contradiction lies in the centralized power of capital which drives the exploitation and destruction of both nature and social relations.
