Episodes

Fight, Resist, Stand Up, and Organize! 04.12.2021

In this episode I go into a bit of a discussion intended to show how the class struggle takes many different forms and how active resistance to the capitalist Bourgeoisie system looks different, takes different forms, organizes itself in different ways at different points in times during the struggle. This is how a revolutionary mass movement is built, through struggle, through learning and growin...

*BONUS* Self-Critique Moment 29.11.2021

It’s a bonus episode of me talking about all the things I and other western leftists need to get better at

Revolutionary Resistance Across the World 25.11.2021

In this episode I go over a few different things; starting out with the true history of Amerikkka and “Thanksgiving”. Settler-Colonialism, Capitalism and Imperialism are rampant everywhere, the world is dying and the only ones truly organized and fighting for an end to that system is Indigenous people. But people are standing up all over the world. The masses are never stopping their fight for lib...

Tactical Struggle 23.11.2021

I’m this episode we go over some of the ways that the Ruling Class elites make sure Socialists and Leftists never get a chance to organize and agitate. But we need to, we need to find a way!

Rittenhouse is Yet Another Murderer in the Nation of Murderers: A History and a Solution to US White Supremacy 21.11.2021

In this episode we briefly discuss the case of Kyle Rittenhouse and explain as to why he is not someone we need to focus on individually, unless someone plans on logging him out of the matrix. He is someone we will probably watch become a cop or a US Representative, but if that is the case will he truly be any different than many of the others? We also discuss the history of the US as a Settler-Co...

What does this time of year spell for exploited people? 19.11.2021

The holidays are coming and that means cold weather, rain and snow, sleet and hail, and freezing temperatures cold enough to kill. People need homes, people need clothes, people need food, but most importantly, people need a new Society!

What does “Democracy” mean under a Capitalist system? 18.11.2021

Given the propaganda and lies the US and UN continue to spread about countries like Bolivia, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Cuba, I and others continue to express and explain why these countries are FAR more democratic than even the supposed “bastion of democracy and freedom”, aka the Settler-Colonial, Imperialist, capitalist project we now call “the United States”. Democracy under Capitalism is a sham,...

US HANDS OFF CUBA! 15.11.2021

US HANDS OFF CUBA! For the last 62 years the US Empire has tried its hardest to assassinate Cuban leaders, destroy government buildings, tarnish the Cuban’s international picture, spread lies and propaganda, invade the Cuban people’s homeland and even set up nuclear missiles aimed at not the Cuban GOVERNMENT - you can’t aim at a system, a structure - but they were aimed at Cuban people, their land...

True Amerikkkan History: Settler-Colonialism, Capitalism, Imperialism and Fascism 13.11.2021

In this episode I try to make an argument for the true nature of "Amerikkka", what we know as "the United States" as a Colonial, Capitalist enterprise, a settler-State, an oppressive regime, a Nationalist and sometimes even Fascist Imperialist Empire. Now, that's a lot of words. If you want to know what that means to me, please give this episode a listen! FUCK FASCISTS! FUCK EMPIRES! FUCK CAPITALI...

What the f U c K even IS the Left?? An episode on combatting inactivity, hypocrisy, ignorance and white chauvinism w/Bands of Turtle Island! 12.11.2021

In this episode I was lucky to have host of Bands of Turtle Island, Zitkato, onto the show to discuss how Indigenous people are commonly left out, not only of the discussions surrounding revolution, especially here in the Settler-Colonial State we now call "the United States". I was so happy to finally be able to do this episode, I've been listening to the show for a long time and Zitkato is one o...

Some More Questions: Fascism, Revolution, and History 09.11.2021

I mean I think the title says it all. US Empire and Imperialism need to come tumbling down, but how? Fascism, what is it? How is it connected to the US? What can/should we do about all of this?? Please donate to the homie from Bands of Turtle Island, Zitkato’s Patreon/Cashapp! Cashapp: $bandsofturtleisland

*BONUS* Some Questions on My Mind 09.11.2021

I ask two questions: 1.) What role do individuals play in history? 2.) Can we build a true Proletarian Revolution/People’s Liberation as atomized, and disconnected, and especially without a Communist Party? Idk, you tell me! Go think some thought yo!

The Need for Revolutionary Mass Organizations Within the Belly of the US Empire 06.11.2021

In this episode I discuss a bit of what we are facing here in the US in terms of political destabilization, Liberalism, Imperialism and economic/environmental collapse. We have much to discuss further in this realm, but I used a few examples to just get us in the right mindset. And then I go into my best attempt to this point (I think) to argue for the necessity of a Revolutionary Party or Organiz...

Hi Chi Minh Should’ve Killed More of Your Grandparents (We Need Militant Anti-Imperialism, Now!) 02.11.2021

In this episode I continue on my discussion about the myths surrounding capitalism and communism. What are we going to do to stop the continuation of imperialist aggression across the world? How will we in the belly of the beast take down this empire? When will we recognize now is the time to act?

What role do anti-intellectual/anti-communist ideas play in organizing? And why is it important? 31.10.2021

In this episode I discuss and explain why the anti-intellectual mindset among the left and the general masses is a dangerous thing, and how/why we need to go about solving this issue!

Myths of Capitalism and Communism: Part One (Parenti Says Anti-Communism is Wack) 26.10.2021

I ended up having to cut this episode short, so this is part one of a series about the myths of capitalism and communism. I will be discussing multiple things that I have learned recently, especially center around speeches and writings by Michael Parenti, I hope you enjoy. Let me know what you think!

Is learning about Marxism that important? And other questions about wtf were “supposed to be” doing 23.10.2021

I start off this episode by discussing why and how I came to Marxism/communism, and I also discussed the importance of studying. Concrete analysis of concrete conditions is the only practical way to actually establishing a correct line and coming up with correct strategies and tactics. We have plenty of history to learn from, why do we refuse to learn it? Then I go into a discussion about how we s...

Revolutionary Consciousness and Education 17.10.2021

In this episode I discuss and try to argue as to why Marxists believe that ideology and consciousness play an incredible role in forming a mass movement. Why do Marxist think that they are right? Are they just a bunch of authoritarian assholes? Or do they have some kind of key through study that has brought them towards correct analysis time and time again? Who is to say, not me that’s for sure. I...

*BONUS* Are Marxists just bossy? 16.10.2021

We’re constantly told that Marxists are just trying to demand that people listen to them, or that we’re just “classist” “elitist” because we say that there are correct or incorrect ways to struggle. But is that the case? You tell me!

How do we support workers on strike? 15.10.2021

In this episode I go over some of the strike efforts, unionization, and other organizing going on amidst one of the more prominent working class movements in recent years, taking place here in the United States. I discuss in brief my recent episode “Workers Critique of Trade Unionism” and why although we know that economy exam is only a compromise and Soli economic struggle is not enough to provid...

Learning to Organize 14.10.2021

In this episode I go into an in-depth discussion about how to organize based off of an understanding of how groups like the Young Lords, the Black Panther Party, and the rown Berets, along with plenty of other international revolutionary organizations have gone about building their communities and organizations up. We need to organize, period. We need to take the lessons that we can learn and appl...

Welcome back to yet another episode, I hope you folks are doing well. In this episode me and Comrade Libre go into a fantastic discussion about the history and revolutionary resistance by the people of Borikén, who for hundreds of years have fought tirelessly against colonialism, imperialism, and oppression. Long live the struggle for Borikén!

A Worker’s Critique of Trade Unionism 11.10.2021

The working class of the world has been becoming more and more aggravated and aware of their condition as workers. They are tired of low wages, high bills, no affordable or safe housing, no healthcare, poor education and abysmal social services. They have been calling for strikes, unionizing, better pay, and better working conditions. But what does this all mean? How can trade unions and Economism...

What is Imperialism and what can we do to stop it? 10.10.2021

In this episode I go into a discussion of the material and economic basis of imperialism as best as I can. I discussed briefly the historical development from early agricultural societies, to slave societies, to feudal society is, all the way up until capitalism as briefly and correctly as I can. I then discussed the “differences” between colonialism and imperialism, and argued that they are in fa...
