Episodes

Community love, Friendship and the Class Struggle 22.06.2021

In this episode I begin by discussing how important relationships are, how much we have to fight the urge to isolate and do things like just read theory or just post Memes. Although both of these things are important, they cannot be all that we are doing. Many of us are hurting, many of us are alone, and this just proves once again why we need our communities organized and working towards building...

Western Propaganda has no place in Organizing 18.06.2021

In this episode I go into kind of a long, broad, ramble of sorts about how immense the effects of western propaganda, western chauvinism, and the awful opinions and takes that it creates not just online, but in real life organizing also. This country needs more, we need better organizers, and better understood “Leftists”. We don’t need liberals, we don’t need Western apologists, we don’t need Chau...

Marxism and Revisionism (Why We Need to Organize) 11.06.2021

In this episode, as best as I can, I tried to go over the differences between the organizational strategies of the theories of Marxism, Leninism and Maoism. I don’t just do this for intellectual or ideological superiority I promise, but because if we do not study and learn from these theories and from these revolutions, we have failed the working class.

Marxism as a Science (a continuation of the conversation) 10.06.2021

This discussion probably will never end, the theory of Marxism has been denied the claim of science for almost 200 years. This is because of a lot of different reasons, including but not limited to extreme anti-communist rhetoric since the days of Marx and Engels, including also a lack of scientific nature and study involved in most, if not all, of all the other “Leftisms”. This seems like shade.....

Internationalism and Intersectionality 07.06.2021

In this episode we dive into a much-needed discussion for many on the left especially within places such as the United States, and so we discuss in this episode some of the extreme shortcomings of many of the socialist, leftist, anarchist, and communist organizations within the centers of capitalism. At the end here we also go into a brief discussion of one of the books that has put these ideas in...

A brief history of Settler-Colonialism (Particularly in Turtle Island context) 04.06.2021

In this episode I go over an explanation (through a brief historical overview of the US) of Settler-Colonialism, an oftentimes (almost always) forgotten part of our struggle for an end to Global Imperialism, Capitalism and Oppression everywhere. All power to indigenous resistance!

On the State 31.05.2021

Bonus episode...kinda?? In this episode I talk about the idea of the state as a body that is used for the oppression of the working people, we also discussed a few other ideas they are in. For more on this, look up “The State” by Lenin which was a lecture given at Sverdlov University! Also, happy birthday to the late Revolutionary Grenada Prime Minister Maurice Bishop, rest in Power!

*BONUS* Collective Action Ends Oppression 27.05.2021

In this episode we go through a brief overview of some of what’s been on my mind, plus the need for collective action in order to lead towards collective and structural change!

The Need for Organizing, not Simply Mobilizing 21.05.2021

In this I go over a few YouTube speeches by Kwame Ture and Maurice Bishop, including some other things that I’ve went over lately myself, and tried to present that information objectively. I also talked about the need to focus on building true mass peoples organizations rather than simply having multiple, disconnected “movements” with no strategic, or scientific objective. We have very little time...

What can we do in the US? 15.05.2021

In this episode of a dive into a little discussion about a few different things that we desperately need to see in the United States. Many of us who are coming into Leftism, many of us who don’t have much understanding of these things, we have to understand at least our goal, and how to get there. I hope this episode is encouraging and insightful, and most importantly I hope everyone takes from th...

Opportunism Ends With Us: A Fight Against Chauvinism in the United States 07.05.2021

In this episode we dive into a conversation surrounding whiteness, what it is to be a white person in a white supremacist society such as the United States. We also talk about white chauvinism, and what this idea is, where it stems from and how to fight it. And we also especially talk about the need for learning lessons as revolutionary, and trying to wage a struggle not for the sake of our own pe...

We need International Solidarity now 02.05.2021

In this episode I go over this necessity to start building true coalitions in this country, but not just specifically for the benefit of those within this country, but especially so that us in the belly of the beast, I can help those in the global south fighting for their own liberation in their own struggle against our own country. We need internationalism, we need solidarity, and we need revolut...

Happy International Workers Day! 01.05.2021

Happy May Day, a.k.a. international workers day! In this history of international workers day, on May 1, 2021, the 135th anniversary of May Day, we discuss not only the history of workers struggle in general, but also of the struggle for the eight hour workday, why we believe in collective action, and what it is that we can do, or need to deal, in order to see things truly change. We need revoluti...

“An Open Letter to All Comrades” (Plus Discussion) 28.04.2021

In this recording, I read some thing that I wrote called an open letter to all comrades, which is supposed to be a writing meant to inspire us in America to begin dedicating ourselves to true organizing, and true class struggle. We have thousands of years of human history and knowledge to learn from, hundreds of different rebellions, uprisings, and revolutions, both world-historic and not, and yet...

Anti-Imperialism in “America” 24.04.2021

In this episode we go into a brief historical discussion of the development of what we now call imperialism, from its core of colonialism which developed out into capitalist domination which monopolized and centralized, seeking more growth and more gains, and developed into imperialism. In America today, the hegemonic, imperialist oppressor of the globe, we need to be fighting Capitalism, Imperial...

Oppression, Police and the State (Part two, of many) 22.04.2021

In this episode I talk about the issues we’re facing not only in America, but all over the world. The issue of oppression, whether by the police, by laws that are unjust and inhumane, whether by poverty and inequality; the people are suffering. We talk about a general idea of Oppression, Class Society, the State, the Police, the Military and some other stuffs! Come check it out :)

Revolutionary Communism and Current Events with Ramiro Sebastián Fúnez 21.04.2021

We have a special episode today! My comrade Ramiro came on the show to talk about quite a bit of different things. We came on and talked about not only what's taking place in America now, but also in the Global South, and some other necessities along the way. We discuss what it is that White Leftists need to do to be the most humble, helpful comrades that we can be. Our goal as Leftists is not to...

Our Revolutionary Needs in America 18.04.2021

Hi, if you have not listen to my show before this might be the episode to start with. In this episode we discussed quite a few things but all of them sent around this idea that today in America the people are oppressed, exploited murdered and left without any ability to do a damn thing about it. What is it that we’re supposed to do? How are we supposed to help ourselves? And what is this white kid...

Gun Control in America (a conversation) 16.04.2021

In this episode, taking off from where the last episode left off (police violence, the State, etc). In this one we talk about guns, a topic moderately new to me, but not to the Left! So come listen to me try to parse through this discussion, as a Communist

Police Violence in America 14.04.2021

A much-needed discussion, but I would like to preface this conversation by saying as a white person all of this information is learned, and all of this information I have to constantly refresh in my mind. In a white supremacist society even those of us who recognize this white supremacists him fall victim to it. This conversation needs to be had because this will not stop with Derek Chauvin’s conv...

Liberation from Capitalism, how can we get there? 09.04.2021

In this episode I go a bit in depth to discuss what it is about capitalism that is inherently exploitative; the very foundation, the core of the system we know as capitalism has its driving force in profit, in constant expansion and consumption. Therefore it NEEDS to constantly be exploiting someone, some resource, or whatever. Capitalism is oppressive inherently, period. But how can we see someth...

We Need Socialism, so What is it? (And some other stuff) 03.04.2021

I go into a brief discussion that similar to my latest blog post, about why we need to clearly define what socialism is and is not. Too many folks in America are turning to the Nordic model thinking that this somehow or another is better. But this shows a clear lack of understanding of capitalism, because as we get richer, the poor get poor. This means even more awful exploitation of the global so...

On Derek Chauvin the White Supremacist US State 30.03.2021

Hey y’all, we got to talk about Derek Shoven, this shit can’t slide, we need to be keeping an eye on this. This is a little 10 minute rant than I do about white supremacy generally in the United States in the Derek Chauvin case for the murder of George Floyd. Power to the people, black lives matter, Black Power!

*BONUS* Michael Parenti, Class Society, and the Oppression of Capitalism 30.03.2021

In this little ranting of the week, I talk about the episode of Rev Left about Michael Parenti which sparked a nugget in my brain so I pressed record. I talked about some other stuff, such as Class Society and how it’s structured and developed throughout history, and Capitalism it’s ugly offspring. Listen for more! :)

Growing, Building and Learning as a "Leftist" in America (With none other than Nathan from Marx Madness!) *Socialists Gotta Socialize!* 29.03.2021

In this much anticipated episode, Nathan from Marx Madness comes on to discuss a lot of things that I feel like we all have had on our minds. As we know, Leftist in-fighting is basically a pre-req to any social media platform we participate in, but honestly? I'm kind of over it. And I think a lot of people are. Now, surely this will always happen (if we peep any other social media, people argue ab...
