Podcasts about anti vietnam

Alex Finn Marcartney joins Kota to talk about the history of the anti-Vietnam War movement in Japan and the legacy of the Red Army Faction or the Sekigun-ha, the mother organization of the Japanese Red Army and the United Red Army we previously discussed in this podcast. In this episode, we discuss...1) Japan's role in the Vietnam War and the significance of Okinawa as a “keystone” for the US-Japanese imperialism in the Cold War as 2022 marks the 50th year since its so-called “reversion” from the US to Japan. 2) Some of the watershed events in the Japanese Long Sixties such as a student protest at Haneda Airport to prevent Prime Minister Sato Eisaku's visit to the US, and how these events radicalized the anti-Vietnam War movement from a citizens-led pacifist anti-war movement to a students and workers-led militant anti-imperialist movement, although the distinction between these two forms of struggle was not clear cut. 3) The meaning of and the discourse surrounding the Yodogo Incident where a group of young militants from the Sekigun-ha hijacked a plane and went to the DPRK, and ask whether the event was simply a farce or a productive lesson for revolutionary movements. 4) The emergence of the Sekigun-ha within the context of the broader mass opposition to the Vietnam War. We specifically highlight its theories of the World Proletarian Revolutionary War and the International Base Area, as well as how it conceptualized political violence. Throughout our discussion of the Yodogo Group and the Sekigun-ha, we highlight the importance of understanding the theory and ideology of these revolutionary organizations as they are, before criticizing and passing judgment on them, while the mainstream media do just that by pathologizing them along gendered and racialized lines. 5) How the Sekigun-ha in Japan and the Red Army Faction in West Germany influenced each other, and how these two societies' relationship with US imperialism through NATO and ANPO aided the parallel existence and solidarity between these two organizations.6) What the history of the Red Armies and the militant Global Sixties tell us about the National Question and internationalism.Intro: Cielo by Huma-Huma Outro:  Enter the Mirror by Les Rallizes DénudésDonate on GoGetFunding.  Support the show

In this episode, Kelsie and Brooke learn from Dr. Jessica Frazier of the University of Rhode Island about women who were deeply intrenched in the anti-Vietnam movement and perhaps overshadowed by their male contemporaries. Dr. Frazier wrote her first book on this subject. You can find her book here. Support our work at www.patreon.com/remedialherstory Find lesson plans at http://www.remedialherstory.com Educators!

Country Joe and the Fish are best known today for The Fish Rag (also known as I Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Die Rag), which they released as a single in 1967, and famously performed at Woodstock, One of the most enduring songs written in protest of the Vietnam War, this song has been used in films such as More American Graffiti, and TV series like The Wonder Years. It's a quite obviously anti-war song, and the band themselves were staunch non-conformists and communists. The band features a range of weird and wild instruments, from the kazoo to the calliope, and is a damning indictment of the American War Machine. In this video I take a look at what makes this song work, analysing the lyrics and the music. NOTE: I had accidentally uploaded the unedited audio for this episode and as of 08/04/2022 this has been corrected

First, we refer to the recently unearthed video of Jerry learning to dance hip-hop available on our website. Yikes. Speaking of hip-hop, Jerry then discusses his appearance on the Drop the Mic television show, where he competes in a rap battle with Ricki Lake.Then we pivot to talking about our participation in the recent March for Our Lives rallies, in Cincinnati and Sarasota.Then Jerry shares some comparisons between the students organizing anti-gun protests like the young activisits during the Vietnam war.Our musical guest this week is Krystal Peterson & Casey Campbell:https://www.facebook.com/KrystalPetersonandtheQCB/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

"If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution." This paraphrase of famous Anarchist, Author Emma Goldman's retort when accused of "hurting the cause" by having too much fun effectively sums up the heart of this show. Over the years, major social and political Movements have been strengthened by music and song. Where would the Civil Rights Movement have been without "We Shall Overcome"? Where would the Anti-Vietnam war Movement have been without "Masters of War" and "Fixin' to Die Rag"? Where would the Labor Movement have been without "Solidarity Forever" or "The Internationale"? If you haven't been paying attention, the major social and political movements of today are also being supported and enhanced by great political songs. Within the constraints of overbearing, corporate "copyright" laws, each episode will examine a great left-wing protest/political song. We will trace each song's history, its impact on the time that produced it and its relevance to today. listen to other episodes as they are released at Protest Songs in Left Wing Politics -  http://septicradio.com/protestsongsleftwing.php A production of Septic Radio.

There's a quip that goes “Christianity is probably a great religion. Someone should really try it.” The implication, of course, is that most people who call themselves Christians aren't very Christian at all. And, in truth, it's hard to be a good Christian, what with all that loving your enemies, turning the other cheek, and helping the poor. It's particularly hard to pull off in the modern world. But some have tried, at least in part. Foremost among them are the Christian pacifists. They are the subject of Kip Kosek's wonderful book Acts of Conscience: Christian Nonviolence and Modern American Democracy (Columbia University Press, 2009). Kip shows that the pacifists–more specifically members of the Fellowship of Reconciliation (FoR)–were an oddly influential group. They utterly failed in their primary mission, that is, to create a world without war. They themselves didn't fight, but that didn't stop everyone else from going at it hammer and tong. Yet in pursuing that quixotic end the pacifists managed to either launch or aid several progressive causes that stand at the center of modern political life. These include: civil liberties (the ACLU), racial equality (the Civil Rights Movement), the Anti-Vietnam war campaign (the SNCC), and the nuclear disarmament movement (the Nuclear Freeze Campaign) among others. The members of FoR were on the right side of all these issues before it was clear what the right side was. And they suffered for it, though they were vindicated in the end. Kip does an excellent job of explaining how their Christian faith gave them the courage of their convictions and thereby allowed them–a tiny group of believers–to help create modern liberal democracy. It's very common today for seemingly sensible people to claim that religion is the cause of much that is the wrong in the world. But, as Kip demonstrates, it's also the cause of much that is right.
