In Defense of Liberation

Sorry mom about the title, it was funny. But yeah, here’s me talking about why the United States is really awful. But more than that, we briefly talk about why that is, the complications that come from being the largest settler-colonial project, that built an entire economy on the forced slave labor of 4-5 million+ black folks, plus some other fun and exciting stuff along the way; it’s a good one....

In this episode, I'm ranting about why it is that Leftist discourse in places online in America is cancer, why it is that this seems to plague the "Left" in our country, what Chauvinism and Opportunism do to impact this, etc. I go into the toxicity of online Leftist culture, but not as someone trying to drag it and put an end to it, as someone who loves online forums and discourse all I want is a...

I’m pretty fucking stoned honestly so this isn’t really necessarily educational, but I do think that I put forward a decent discussion about how we need to use history as a tool of liberation, in order to learn from, in order to understand how it is that we in America can begin organizing and working towards true liberation, and truly helping people!

Read the title, it’s all there. Hope you like it! Check out my social media, if you want to tell me something you can DM me there or cyber-bully me. Nothing you can do will be worse than my childhood, so. Also email me at indefenceofliberation(@)Gmail(.com). Thanks, you’re the best! ✊🏻⚒❤️

In this episode, I meet with Rick, one of the hosts of Decolonized Buffalo. For all the links to that, see below. We talked about a few things, but mostly kept our conversation centered around the need for Indigenous voices to be heard on the Left, the need to understand and recognize what it will take to turn this Settler-Colonial State back to the people who it rightly belongs to, we discussed d...

Hello! In this episode, a big inspiration of mine and a fantastic author, professor and philosopher, Joshua (or J.) Moufawad-Paul, from Toronto, Canada comes on to discuss with me his book, "The Communist Necessity", how some mass movements in the past have failed, why organization and a new return to Revolutionary Science are necessary, and Marxism/Maoism's usefulness and necessity in all of this...

First of all, John when you read this I spelled your name right without checking facebook. Anywho...hey! This episode of me and John from BBL is a great conversation about a lot of different things. We discuss theory and why we enjoy reading it, the lessons we've learned personally from it, and some conversation about our current reads. On top of that, we dive into a talk about how a lot of the Le...

In this episode, I discuss and kind of vent about the things that have been on my mind lately. During these last few weeks, the pandemic has begun to get to me. But during that time, I have been reading and studying and I have been able to bring myself back out a bit with the hope and inspiration that these things have given me. The world is full of human beings, and of those human beings, only a...

I myself have recently began to self-critique and recognize how little I pay attention to, learn from/about and incorporate into my studies Indigenous culture, struggle and living, breathing people. Today most of our obsession with Indigenous folks is in the Spectacle of Suffering that we participate in, "remembering" them, and taking part in half-asses, Liberal white-washed history of Native peop...

In this episode we talk about how the Biden administration has shown yet again that the democratic party as a whole is a worthless shell of a political entity. But yet again it also shows that this government, this society is not for the people by the people, by people above the people who dictate the lives of the masses, the working class people. This cannot be allowed to continue, this must chan...

It seems like although everything about society is changing, the technology, the pandemic, and many other things, somehow everything still seems the same? Like with Joe Biden becoming president, things are changing, but not really. Things are getting better...but not really. But this doesn’t have to be true, although it is, let’s talk about why and try to address that. And try to change that!

This is the much-needed introduction to the show, why I changed my name, why I dedicate it to “people’s liberation” and also, a talk about my book I said I was going to publish like 2 months ago! Enjoy!

In this episode, my comrade Ramiro and I discuss a few different things. We start out by discussing who ANTICONQUISTA is, what it does, and its goal. Then we bounce into a little discussion about the lack of political or social consciousness in the average American person today, and why that's a problem. Then, diving right into it we begin to discuss a few different reasons why we feel Marxism, or...

As inspired by Howard Zinn, I do a little reading of his 23rd chapter of his book, “A People’s History of the United States”. This chapter talks in depth how more and more people than ever, even in the US are beginning to recognize the failures of our system: Capitalism. We need change, and the people deserve it! After that there’s an actual episode which I recorded that goes along the same tune,...

In this episode we go over a few things, the broad relationship of oppressor versus oppressed which capitalism is presupposed, why it requires that relationship, and how then we are expected to create change in such an unequal. unjust society. We have two routes: work within the system, or work to take down the system. That’s it folks! So let’s chose the one that’ll ACTUALLY help people! To libera...

In this episode we talked about the desperate need for change that exists all over the world. We explored different causes for this, but focussing on the relationship of the oppressor versus the oppressed. This relationship has existed as long as human society has, and until a revolution comes along that can successfully defeated we will never know what such a world might look like look like. But...

I admit out right that I am no expert, I have no education on the subject other than my own attempts to educate myself. But this is my best explanation of and an argument for the necessity of understanding and using historical materialism. Especially today, I hope you enjoy, and I hope you are able to learn and understand better!

In this episode of my stoned rambling, we talk about the dire need for organization, for community, but most importantly for understanding, analysis, and theories on the left to be based in facts. But also, to be based in the fight for people’s humanity, because today, so many people live undignified, awful lives. Nobody deserves this, and we need to change that truth. For liberation!

This episode of in defence of liberation is about the lack of understanding that the general population in America has about the world they live in. So many of us have been missed lead, confused and meant to believe a lot of awful things thanks to our media and our government. But this does not need to be the case! People are hurting, as we saw in Washington they have no idea what to do. And so we...

I recently had a conversation with someone who tried to convince me that Capitalism has actually created much better situations for people all over the world, and in fact has pulled people out of poverty. They even sent me a graph (which I posted on my instagram) which they then used to make this claim. I am dedicating this episode to them, my argument against that illogical and unreasonable asser...

In this episode we discuss a few things. First we talk about the show going into 2021, what changes are coming up and what to expect in the coming year. Also, we discuss my book, "Liberation is Irresistible" which is still in the works, and connect it to today's episode's message: Liberation. What is Liberation? Why is it important? Can Capitalism exist with Liberation? Is Liberation liberating on...

In this episode I talk about how difficult really working towards big change like people all over the world are calling for. It’s a process, but not an impossible one! We need to be better at contextualizing our place in the world in centres of Capitalism (I’m from the US) how that influences what we need to do, International solidarity and why it’s necessary and key to a successful revolution, an...

In this episode I talk about the concerning fact that we are in desperate need for organizing, and for a mass movement, but we are nowhere close to this reality here in America. In the age of Covid, this is even harder, but we need to progress as many have had to before us! We need to make changes, for the people, by the people. We need a new world, a new society, where the majority of people’s ne...

Me talking about the message of my book and why you should read it! Please check it out!!

I go over, in general a few very basic arguments for capitalism, and why they do not hold up. One of the most important things is remaining factual, and historically accurate, which is what I am to do in combatting these arguments in this episode. Hope you enjoy!
