The Antifada

Ben Morea is a founding member of Black Mask and Up Against the Wall Motherfucker, two 1960s revolutionary formations known as the most direct action-oriented wing of the youth revolutionary movement in Manhattan's Lower East Side. Comrades of the Black Panthers, Diggers, Yippies, and SDS, their black bloc tactics and uncompromising solidarity with black and indigenous struggles remains a blueprint of anarchist activity today. Part 2 of the discussion here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/65563424 Armed Love is a series about the revolutionary subculture of the sixties. Episode one was an interview with Peter Coyote, and episode 2 was a discussion of Charles Manson and the Lyman Family. Joining me for the interview was Matt Peterson of Woodbine.nyc Correction on #ReadtheGreenBook tour-- the Minneapolis date is May 24, not 23 Song: Jefferson Airplane - We Can be Together

In their first ever CURRENT EVENTS episode, the Everybody Loves Communism crew of Jamie Peck, Aaron Thorpe (he's back, y'all!) and Jorge Rocha (@linegoesdown) take on various topics of the day, including Peter Thiel's Bitcoin meltdown and NYC mayor Eric Adams' love of crypto. Okay, so it's mostly about Bitcoin. What does it mean that various capitalists are having it out over this dumb new commodity? To the 1,000 or so of you who are already listening to ELC on the regs: sorry for the dearth of slop this week. Come to the Eve 6 afterparty and Jamie will buy you a drink. No seriously, she's throwing the afterparty for the 5/4 Eve 6 NYC tour date. DM for deets!

We’re going back to our supersoldier roots with Devin Zane Shaw, a professor of philosophy and the author of the book the Philosophy of Antifascism. We talk about the antifascist theory Three Way Fight, political tensions within antifascism between its militant and liberal strains, the "parapolitical" aspects of the MAGA and Covid-denialist movements, Ben Burgis' comments on Joe Rogan about the milkshaking of Andy Ngo, and if Putin is antifa.

Listen to the full episode: https://www.patreon.com/posts/antifadas-is-13-64451503 For almost four years we've been speculating about the end of a certain period of history and hoo boy is it here! In this part one of the thirteenth installment of HIAW, Matt and Sean return to talk about the roots of this current turbulence: What are the forces aligned for and against the 'rules-based international order'? How has the calculus of the various ruling classes changed in this zero-sum moment? Are there even good guys or bad guys to root for? And how has the seeming exit of the working class from history worked out for humanity? Not so good, it seems... In part two we delve into the muck and mire of the XXth century, the hopes and dreams of communism, and the bitter denouement of 1991.

After the episode on Lenin's imperialism with Erin Hagood, we decided to get a different perspective on the Ukraine war and other current events with Australian anarchist-communist Matt Crossin (@MattCrossin). How does Australia fit into the global economy and capitalist hegemony? What are the uses and limits of theories of imperialism? How are anarchists in Ukraine and Russia confronting the upheaval of war? And how might working class power be forged in this chaotic and desperate time?
