Community Liberation Podcast

A rapid-fire discussion of the alleged kidnapping attempt against Nicolás Maduro and how US actions and narratives shifted. A political-material analysis of Iran’s protests, bazaar class tensions, and covert interference. A look at ICE brutality and the viral killing of Renee Nicole Good as a radicalizing spectacle. Connections drawn between imperialism, media manipulation, and leftist responses.

They break down liberalism's roots and critiques through Marx, Mao, and Losurdo. They examine unions, electoralism, and how liberal politics shape worker organizing. They unpack settler colonialism and liberal revisionism. They discuss anti-intellectualism in movements and accessible political study. They trace hype around Zohran Mamdani and the passing of Assata Shakur and Jamil Al-Amin with calls to rebuild prisoner solidarity.
