This episode was recorded on November 28th, 2024 Professor Justin Podur of the Anti-Empire Project joins Sam to explore martial arts and politics, what martial arts can teach us about power, the "elite" education model, the meaning of Empire, unconscious Western biases, Israel's expansion, the U.S. as the head of Western Empire, and why Empire needs Israel to sustain its global dominance.

(A preview of the latest episode of Justin Podur's World War Civ series on his very excellent Anti-Empire Project podcast) General Allenby, Sharif Hussein and his son Feisal, and their handler TE Lawrence array the forces of the British Empire and the Arab Revolt against the Turco-German forces in Palestine. The battle starts in Gaza and ends with Allenby walking into the Jaffa Gate of Jerusalem. The story of the fateful campaign that brought British imperialism to Palestine (and Lebanon, and Syria…). We note that the British found Gaza to be a “fortress” from which it was impossible to dislodge the Turkish forces; Justin felt TE Lawrence was overrated, just another imperialist; and we compare admiration of the stoicism with which Allenby took news of his son's death, with an analogous situation today. https://podur.org/2024/05/13/world-war-civ-40-how-britain-took-palestine-in-1917/

Listen to the entire interview on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/full-audio-wins-84859698In popular culture, Canada is seen as the nicer version of the US, the harmless northern neighbor. Behind that shiny exterior is a country that plays a crucial supporting role in US aggression abroad and providing it with a layer of liberal respectability. Canada remains the “good cop” to the US “bad cop” in wars and coups from the Middle East to Latin America. This is no great departure for a country founded as a European settler colony that continues to commit atrocities against the indigenous communities. To discuss Canada's role in the US-led imperial order, Rania Khalek was joined by Justin Podur, a Professor at York University in Toronto, author of many books including “Extraordinary Threat,” “Haiti's New Dictatorship,” “America's Wars on Democracy in Rwanda and the DR Congo,” and “Siegebreakers” and host of the Anti-Empire Project podcast.This is just the first half of this episode.

It's widely accepted that humans are driving climate change and environmentalism has become mainstream. But what if “humanity” in the abstract isn't to blame? Is it true that humans are inherently bad for nature? What if the real culprit is the systems we're forced to operate under — capitalism, imperialism, colonialism— perpetrated by particular sections of humanity over others? So who, or what is to blame is really to blame for climate change? What are the limitations of the mainstream environmental movements? What's the actual solution? And where do indigenous communities and decolonization fit in? To discuss this and more, Rania Khalek was  joined by Justin Podur, a Professor at York University in Toronto, author of many books including Extraordinary Threat, Haiti's New Dictatorship, America's Wars on Democracy in Rwanda and the DR Congo, and Siegebreakers and host of the Anti-Empire Project podcast.

Mainstream media are whipping up a frenzy against leftists who oppose US imperialism and NATO, smearing them as “Russian agents” for trying to analyze this conflict and its causes with nuance rather than emotion or jingoism.With Western media exclusively focused on Ukraine, simply reminding people that Afghanistan is being starved due to U.S. policies, that Yemen is still being bombed and besiged, and that Syria, Cuba, Iran and Venezuela are still being sanctioned leads to accusations of “whataboutism.” And daring to point out the NATO and US role in setting the stage for Russia's intervention in Ukraine gets one labeled a “Russian apologist.” To discuss these challenges, Rania Khalek was joined by Justin Podur,a Professor in Environmental and Urban Change at York U in Toronto, author of “Siegebreakers,” and host of The Anti-Empire Project podcast. TIME CODES0:00 Intro2:25 “Whataboutism” & ignoring Afghanistan & sanctions15:16 Correcting the record on Soviet “defeat” in Afghanistan34:30 Splits on the left in war time 45:02 Network of anti-left smear merchants50:04 How to deal with pressure of censorship1:04:20  Russia, anti-imperialism & nuance1:15:45 Shifting global order1:23:02 What is the “international community”1:27:26 How Justin became a leftist

Stefan Kipfer and I talk about the lessons we learned from reading the revolutionary Frantz Fanon, author of The Wretched of the Earth and Black Skin, White Masks.

I talk to Ecological Economist Peter Victor, author of Managing Without Growth, about the idea of the economy taking place within a biological envelope, what is required for market prices to reflect value, and the pitfalls of the valuation of natural capital.

A quick 12 minute reaction as the first Iranian tanker (Fortune) arrives in Venezuela with gasoline to alleviate shortages there. Some notes on the cruelty of the US sanctions regime, on why an oil producing country like Venezuela needs gasoline (for now), and what is likely to happen next.

I talk to Stan Cox about his new book, The Green New Deal and Beyond: Ending the Climate Emergency While We Still Can. We talk about the good aspects of the Green New Deal (especially the New Deal aspects), some of the assumptions that will have to be revised (that good fuels will automatically crowd … Continue reading "The Anti-Empire Project Episode 49: Beyond the Green New Deal, with Stan Cox"

Starting with the hectoring of the Bernie movement by liberals to vote Biden – including their sudden discovery of Chomsky,  who has always endorsed voting “the lesser evil”. From there, it's on to early 20th century propaganda in both its British and American imperial incarnations.

I talk to Sam Gindin about capitalism and the COVID-19 crisis. We started with economics, but it is really about consciousness, politics, expectations, and the struggles ahead.

Justin and Dan start by grieving because Bernie ended his presidential bid today. Then on to a history the imperialism and racism of the Progressive Era and why “progressive” and “leftist” are words for two different politics. 

Justin and Dan (that's Dan Freeman-Maloy, for new listeners) talk about Chomsky – and not just manufacturing consent, but Chomsky's influence on their political thinking, where they might have tiny disagreements, and how they try to use Chomsky's work to think through political problems in 2020.

We recorded quickly to react to the attack on a naval patrol boat (the Naiguata) off the coast of Venezuela and the positioning of US troops at the Venezuela-Colombia border. With Maria Victor and Joe Emersberger. 

I talk to nephrologist Ben Thomson and ER doc Tarek Loubani about the magic bullet for COVID-19 (there isn't one). The key messages: medical people – switch to reusable masks. Everyone: social distancing works, don't lose your nerve. So do social democratic reforms, like having a public health system. 

I talk to Toronto doctor and activist Ritika Goel about the first few weeks of the pandemic here in Toronto, some of the emergency measures anti-poverty activists have called for, and the ways the pandemic should force some thinking about the importance of solidarity.

Brian Dominick is the author of Present as Prologue: A GenZero Novella, which describes the first phase of a youth-led, high-tech revolution in America.

A wide-ranging and admittedly bookish discussion with William Patterson historian Navyug Gill and frequent guest and sometimes host of the show, Dan Freeman-Maloy. We talk about postcolonial studies, history, and the British Empire, and the ways that its racism lives on.
