What began as a call for justice has, in many cases, become an engine of conformity. In this searching conversation, Andrew Doyle (author, satirist, and cultural critic) joins Michael Shermer to unpack the trajectory of the woke movement: from its roots in anti-bigotry and awareness to its current entanglement with censorship, identitarian dogma, and ideological rigidity. Drawing on his new book, The End of Woke Doyle traces the intellectual history of contemporary activism, explores the authoritarian impulses emerging on both the left and the right, and makes the case for a return to classical liberalism as a defense against escalating cultural tribalism. Together, Shermer and Doyle explore themes ranging from the legacy of Shakespeare and Milton, the tension between equality and meritocracy, and the broader sociopolitical dynamics shaping public discourse. This episode offers a sharp, historically grounded analysis of one of the defining cultural shifts of our time—and a call to revive liberal principles in the face of rising ideological orthodoxy. Andrew Doyle is a writer, satirist and political commentator. He was formerly a Visiting Research Fellow at Queen's University Belfast, and a lecturer at Oxford University where he completed his doctorate in Renaissance Literature. He is the creator of satirical character Titania McGrath, under whose name he has written two books: Woke: A Guide to Social Justice and My First Little Book of Intersectional Activism, both published by Little, Brown. Titania McGrath has over half a million followers on X. His previous books include Free Speech and Why it Matters and The New Puritans: How the Religion of Social Justice Captured the Western World. His new book is The End of Woke: How the Culture War Went Too Far and What to Expect from the Counter-Revolution.
In the final episode of our Czechoslovak Socialism series, we dive into the final attempt to reform the Czechoslovak system. As with the Prague Spring, the official ML/liberal narrative about are the same, that this was an attempt to overthrow socialism and establish a capitalist democracy. Just like the Prague Spring, it seems clear that the intentions of its participants were the opposite. The vast majority of Czechoslovaks who participated in the movements that brought down the republic were attempting to reform the socialist system, not destroy it.Krapfl, James.

5.30.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Shocking S.C. Ocean Blvd Shooting, Trump Ends Black Biz Aid & History Channel Omits Slavery A deadly shooting on South Carolina's Ocean Boulevard leaves 11 people injured--including teens-- and one person dead. Community leaders question whether the dead suspect shot the 11 people before police killed him. Tonight, we'll speak with an activist searching for answers and one of those young survivors who will share what really happened during the chaos and what's next for her recovery. The twice-impeached, criminally convicted felon-in-chief, Donald "The Con" Trump, moves to end a program that's helped Black business entrepreneurs for decades. We'll discuss what this means for our community's future and economic power. With the changes in education, what's the future for charter schools? The CEO of the National Charter Collaborative will be present to discuss how the administration's policies may affect charter schools. And renowned historian Gerald Horne, author of The Counter Revolution of 1836: Texas Slavery & Jim Crow and the Roots of American Fascism, will be here to discuss the History Channel's omission of slavery in the series, "The Men Who Built America."

ORIGINALLY RELEASED Jul 24, 2023 Dr. Gerald Horne, renowned historian, prolific author, and leading scholar of African American history, joins host Breht O'Shea and guest co-host PM Irvin for the inaugural episode of a compelling new series dedicated to exploring the profound life and influential work of W.E.B. Du Bois. A towering figure in American intellectual history, Du Bois was an innovative sociologist, pioneering Marxist socialist thinker, distinguished historian, and a passionate advocate of Pan-Africanist civil rights and liberation. In this richly detailed discussion, Dr. Horne provides his deep historical expertise and sharp analytical insight to illuminate Du Bois's groundbreaking masterpiece, Black Reconstruction in America. This seminal text revolutionized the historiography of the Reconstruction era by highlighting the central role that African Americans played in striving for democracy and liberation following the Civil War, while powerfully dismantling the myths perpetuated by white supremacist narratives of American history. Listeners will gain a profound appreciation for Du Bois's rigorous methodology, his penetrating critique of capitalist exploitation and racial oppression, and his visionary perspective on racial solidarity and international struggle. This episode not only marks the beginning of a comprehensive exploration of Du Bois's prolific intellectual contributions but also serves as a crucial foundation for understanding the historical dynamics that continue to shape racial politics and liberation movements today.

For many years, Palestine had one of the strongest left-wing movements in the Arab world, represented by prominent figures such as Leila Khaled and Ghassan Kanafani. At the beginning of the First Intifada in the 1980s, Palestinian left groups were the main challengers to the hegemony of Fatah. Although the Palestinian left has lost much of its influence since the 1980s, they still play an important role today. Red Star Over Palestine: Histories of the Palestinian Left is a six-part series from Long Reads exploring radical movements and progressive organizations of the region. We examine the experience of Palestinian communism and the left-wing currents inside the PLO, the Palestine Liberation Organization. We also look at the outsized impact of the Left on Palestinian cultural life. Our fourth episode focuses on the movement's turn to Lebanon, where Palestinian radicals found a new base and hoped to launch a wider Arab revolution. Red Star Over Palestine is hosted by Daniel Finn and produced by Conor Gillies. Music provided by Fadi Tabbal.

ORIGINALLY RELEASED Feb 4, 2023 In this episode of Guerrilla History, we unpack Gerald Horne's explosive and essential work The Counter-Revolution of 1836: Texas Slavery & Jim Crow and the Roots of U.S. Fascism. Horne dismantles the romanticized mythology of Texas independence, revealing it instead as a pro-slavery revolt against Mexico's abolitionist policies. We trace how white settler colonialism, racial capitalism, and the violent defense of human bondage shaped the formation of Texas—and, more broadly, the reactionary trajectory of U.S. history. This episode challenges the lies we were taught, connecting the dots between the foundation of Texas, the rise of Jim Crow, and the enduring roots of American fascism. A must-listen for anyone serious about confronting the true history of empire. ---------------------------------------------------- Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio HERE
What exactly is Donald Trump trying to do as he spearheads a counterrevolution just months into his administration? From dismantling the Iran deal and halting illegal immigration, to eliminating DEI mandates and recalibrating America's domestic and foreign policy strategies—Trump is pushing reforms at an unprecedented pace. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down Trump's strategy of “flooding the zone,” and the Left's response, on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “Now, what is Trump's counterstrategy? His counterstrategy is to actually get people on the other side of the aisle in Congress or in the country at large or in the popular culture and try to at least be friendly to them so then they can say, ‘I don't agree with Trump but what he's doing might be needed.'” “ What is the strategy that the Left is using? They're flooding the zone, too. … They're just flooding it with hysteria, the Spartacus talk, late-night comedy trashing him, another person arrested saying that he wants to kill Donald Trump, keying Teslas, firebombing Tesla agencies, outrageous things from Hollywood stars, videos from Congress.

Here's the advice Victor Davis Hanson prescribes on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words”: “ We need to be very careful how we speak. The quieter that we can be, the more effective and more encompassing can be the reforms. And we're going to try to make sure that we're not an existential enemy of China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and an array of anti-Western societies. “ As far as Ukraine, Donald Trump is under all sorts of criticism because he, at first, had a legitimate beef with [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelenskyy. … All he has to say is, ‘Vladimir Putin did not invade in my first term. He invaded during Barack Obama's term and Joe Biden's term. Even George W. Bush's term he invaded. It wasn't I who got us into this mess.

John-Henry Westen delivers a powerful speech at the Bringing America Back to Life Conference, calling for a spiritual and cultural counter-revolution in the Church and society. He highlights the parallels between America's political crisis under Biden and the Catholic Church's crisis under Pope Francis, warning that both institutions have been infiltrated by leaders who undermine their foundational values. John-Henry exposes Pope Francis' doctrinal contradictions, including his statements on religious pluralism, his refusal to discipline pro-abortion Catholic politicians, and his promotion of LGBT ideology while suppressing the Latin Mass. He urges Catholics to recognize that we get the leaders we deserve, emphasizing that true change will not come from politicians or bishops, but from faithful Catholics who live boldly for Christ.U.S. residents!

Capitalism's defenders love to attack communism by pointing to the atrocities perpetrated by the Stalinist regime in the USSR. Bolshevism—the ideas and methods of Lenin—can only ever result in a totalitarian dictatorship, we're told. As for capitalism, there is no alternative.In reality, a river of blood separates Bolshevism and Stalinism. This presentation will reveal the real traditions of Lenin and his Bolshevik Party, traditions with which the Bolsheviks led the Russian working class to vanquish capitalism on one sixth of the planet. And it will explain how the regime set up by the Russian Revolution—the most democratic regime in history—was hollowed out, replaced by the grotesque caricature of the Stalinist regime.Read More:In Defence of LeninRussia: From Revolution to Counter-Revolution

We piggyback on Victor Davis Hanson's characterization of the current change being a counter revolutionary move after the country was taken over by the left political ideology. Julie compares this to organizational theory of how groups move from their original work and original mission to become self interested living systems. As a living system, the group can defend itself and be unconscious of how it cheats. We are seeing examples of this defensiveness now as the counter revolution continues.Follow Us:YouTubeTwitterFacebookTumblrAll audio & videos edited by: Jay Prescott VideographyClip Used: Victor Davis Hanson: Trump's Counterrevolution in WashingtonBy: The Daily Signal

Crazy progressives are likely to tell you that President Donald J. Trump is leading a "MAGA Revolution" and that this is a bad thing. Our host, Mike Slater, knows that's not true and is here to explain why Trump is actually leading a "restoration" or "counter-revolution" as an answer to the insanity that Barack Obama and Joe Biden put into our American lives.Following the opener, Breitbart's Director of the Cartel Chronicles Project, Brandon Darby, joins the program to talk about what's been happening near America's southern border in the last few weeks as Trump 2.0 ramps up to build the wall and stop drug trafficking as much as humanly possible!

Victor Davis Hanson discusses the misleading information about the first 30 days of the Trump administration's actions, comparing it to FDR's first hundred days. On this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson describes the current period as a “Trump restoration” rather than a revolution, emphasizing it as a counterrevolution against the changes brought by the Obama administration. “ We don't really appreciate what we've been through with eight years of the Obama revolution and the four-year, more radical third term of Obama using or employing the wax effigy of Joe Biden. A revolution that we've experienced was a cultural, economic, political, social revolution. It was very similar to the French Revolution under the Robespierre brothers. You should remember what they tried to do. They changed the days of the week. They renamed things. They tore down statues. They went after the churches. Does this sound familiar? … “ So this was a revolutionary movement. Movies were different. Sports were different. Take a knee. And Donald Trump came in and it was not sufficient to say we're going to stop the madness of $37 billion. … It's a return to normalcy. It's a return to common sense. It only looks revolutionary to revolutionaries. But to the rest of the people, it is a counterrevolution to restore normalcy and bring the country from the far-left fringes back home again.” For Victor's latest thoughts, go to: https://victorhanson.com/ Don't miss out on Victor's latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Often called the “Springtime of Nations,” the year 1848 is one of turmoil throughout Europe. Revolutions are everywhere, from France to Romania. In Germany, Prussia is ascendant. Rather than fight calls for German nationalization, savvy King Friedrich Wilhelm IV puts himself at the head of the revolution. Austria watches helplessly from the sidelines, distracted by trouble at home and abroad. In Italy, King Charles Albert of Piedmont-Sardinia battles the Austrians for control in the north, while local revolutions topple governments in Venice, Florence, and Rome itself.

At the close of the 1970s, government treasuries and central banks took a vow of perpetual self-restraint. To this day, fiscal authorities fret over soaring public debt burdens, while central bankers wring their hands at the slightest sign of rising wages. As the brief reprieve of coronavirus spending made clear, no departure from government austerity will be tolerated without a corresponding act of penance. Yet we misunderstand the scope of neoliberal public finance if we assume austerity to be its sole setting. Beyond the zero-sum game of direct claims on state budgets lies a realm of indirect government spending that escapes the naked eye. Capital gains are multiply subsidized by a tax system that reserves its greatest rewards for financial asset holders. And for all its airs of haughty asceticism, the Federal Reserve has become adept at facilitating the inflation of asset values while ruthlessly suppressing wages. Neoliberalism is as extravagant as it is austere, and this paradox needs to be grasped if we are to challenge its core modus operandi. In Counterrevolution: Extravagance and Austerity in Public Finance (Zone Books, 2024) Dr. Melinda Cooper examines the major schools of thought that have shaped neoliberal common sense around public finance. Focusing, in particular, on Virginia school public choice theory and supply-side economics, she shows how these currents produced distinct but ultimately complementary responses to the capitalist crisis of the 1970s. With its intellectual roots in the conservative Southern Democratic tradition, Virginia school public choice theory espoused an austere doctrine of budget balance. The supply-side movement, by contrast, advocated tax cuts without spending restraint and debt issuance without guilt, in an apparent repudiation of austerity. Yet, for all their differences, the two schools converged around the need to rein in the redistributive uses of public spending. Together, they drove a counterrevolution in public finance that deepened the divide between rich and poor and revived the fortunes of dynastic wealth. Far-reaching as the neoliberal counterrevolution has been, Dr. Cooper still identifies a counterfactual history of unrealized possibilities in the capitalist crisis of the 1970s. She concludes by inviting us to rethink the concept of revolution and raises the question: Is another politics of extravagance possible? This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Yet, for all their differences, the two schools converged around the need to rein in the redistributive uses of public spending. Together, they drove a counterrevolution in public finance that deepened the divide between rich and poor and revived the fortunes of dynastic wealth. Far-reaching as the neoliberal counterrevolution has been, Dr. Cooper still identifies a counterfactual history of unrealized possibilities in the capitalist crisis of the 1970s. She concludes by inviting us to rethink the concept of revolution and raises the question: Is another politics of extravagance possible? This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

At the close of the 1970s, government treasuries and central banks took a vow of perpetual self-restraint. To this day, fiscal authorities fret over soaring public debt burdens, while central bankers wring their hands at the slightest sign of rising wages. As the brief reprieve of coronavirus spending made clear, no departure from government austerity will be tolerated without a corresponding act of penance. Yet we misunderstand the scope of neoliberal public finance if we assume austerity to be its sole setting. Beyond the zero-sum game of direct claims on state budgets lies a realm of indirect government spending that escapes the naked eye. Capital gains are multiply subsidized by a tax system that reserves its greatest rewards for financial asset holders. And for all its airs of haughty asceticism, the Federal Reserve has become adept at facilitating the inflation of asset values while ruthlessly suppressing wages. Neoliberalism is as extravagant as it is austere, and this paradox needs to be grasped if we are to challenge its core modus operandi. In Counterrevolution: Extravagance and Austerity in Public Finance (Zone Books, 2024) Dr. Melinda Cooper examines the major schools of thought that have shaped neoliberal common sense around public finance. Focusing, in particular, on Virginia school public choice theory and supply-side economics, she shows how these currents produced distinct but ultimately complementary responses to the capitalist crisis of the 1970s.

Recorded on a snowy February afternoon, this edgy episode shines a light on the Democrats and their bizarre, violently deranged-yet-impotent responses to Trump, Musk, and especially DOGE. It also highlights Christopher Rufo's exposé on Marxism's "Long March" thru American institutions and explores the aggressive counter-revolutionary efforts led by DOGE against entrenched revolutionaries and their newly-exposed bureaucratic rot. Isn't it odd that Democrats literally declared war on their own government as soon as that rot was exposed? Maybe not! Todd also delves once again into the increasingly obsolete legacy media's portrayal of past events, like the Wuhan Lab leak and Biden's decline. Is old media even slightly qualified to act as self-appointed truth ministers? Who CAN you trust? Who will you trust in 5-years? The Great Social Contraction is at hand. Eventually you'll have to choose sides or drop out. Lone chimps aren't designed to last very long. Neither are solitary people. This one also touches on topics like the misuse of government power and the unintended consequences. Boomerangs fly in both directions! Like it? Rate, review, and share it!

Episode 233 – The Defiant Legacy of David Fagen** Welcome back to *Trey's Table*, the podcast where we explore the rich tapestry of African American history, politics, and culture. In **Episode 233**, we dive into the incredible and often overlooked story of **David Fagen**, the Black American soldier who defected during the Philippine-American War and became a captain in the Philippine revolutionary army. ### Who Was David Fagen? David Fagen was born in Tampa, Florida, around 1875. Like many African Americans of his time, he enlisted in the U.S. Army seeking opportunity and stability. He served in the **24th Infantry Regiment**, an all-Black unit, during the Spanish-American War. But when his regiment was sent to the Philippines to fight in the Philippine-American War, Fagen's story took a dramatic turn. The Philippine-American War (1899–1902) was a brutal conflict between the United States and Filipino revolutionaries fighting for independence. For Black soldiers like Fagen, this war posed a moral dilemma. They were fighting for a country that denied them basic rights at home, while also being asked to suppress another people of color fighting for their freedom. This tension would ultimately shape Fagen's decision to defect. ### The Defection That Shook the U.S. Army In November 1899, David Fagen made history by deserting the U.S. Army and joining the Filipino revolutionary forces, known as the *Katipunan*. His defection wasn't just an act of desertion—it was an act of defiance. Fagen quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a captain in the revolutionary army and leading guerrilla attacks against U.S. forces. Fagen's decision to defect was likely influenced by the racism he experienced in the U.S. military and a sense of solidarity with the Filipino people. His story is a powerful reminder of the global connections between struggles for freedom and equality. ### A Legacy of Resistance David Fagen's story doesn't have a clear ending. In 1901, reports claimed he was killed, and his head was delivered to U.S. forces as proof. However, some historians believe Fagen may have faked his death to escape the war and start a new life. Regardless of how his story ended, Fagen's legacy lives on as a symbol of resistance and solidarity. ### Why David Fagen's Story Matters Today David Fagen's story challenges us to think critically about the intersections of race, identity, and power. It reminds us that history is full of unsung heroes—people whose actions defy the status quo and inspire us to think differently about the world. In this episode, we explore Fagen's life, his decision to defect, and the broader implications of his story. It's a tale of courage, defiance, and the enduring fight for justice. --- **Listen to Episode 233 Now** If you haven't already, tune in to **Episode 233** of *Trey's Table* to hear the full story of David Fagen.

We are joined by Dr. Gerald Horne for a discussion on the meaning of the American Revolution and his extensive scholarship on re-assessing 1776 as a "counterrevoluton." At the heart of this discussion is the political and practical question for socialist politics in our time, namely: what is salvageable from 1776, and what is not? How do we read history from a materialist point of view? Dr. Horne's scholarship traces the social forces that brought about the rebellion of 1776 back farther than most historians of the American Revolution have done, by showing how the international forces went to shape the early settlers in relationship to the threat of slave rebellions and resistance. Horne's work also sheds light on a far more extensive network of resistance and rebellion amongst enslaved Africans that has largely gone ignored by historians and he reveals how central the slavery question was to the wider movements of 1776. Chapters Opening and Intro to Dr. Horne Is the American revolution a purely bourgeois revolution? Can we salvage the optimism of 1776? Is there a revolutionary tradition in America? Understanding slave rebellions and resistance pre-1776 How can history help the "class vs. race" debate that often divides the left? How is "counterrevolution" related to Trump? Is Trump Bonapartist or Fascist? How can socialists contest the two capitalist parties in America? Closing and future of Dr. Horne's scholarship and work Please join our Patreon to support us and get early access to all of our interviews, seminars and videos (https://www.patreon.com/c/torsiongroups). Dr. Gerald Horne holds the Moores Professorship of History and African American Studies. His research has addressed issues of racism in a variety of relations involving labor, politics, civil rights, international relations and war. He has also written extensively about the film industry. Dr. Horne is the author of more than thirty books and one hundred scholarly articles and reviews. His current research includes two forthcoming books: The Counter-Revolution of 1836: Texas Slavery, Jim Crow and the Roots of U.S. Fascism and Revolting Capital: Racism and Radicalism in Washington, D.C., 1918-1968. His other projects include a study of U.S. imperialism in Northeast Africa, principally Egypt and Ethiopia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and a similar study concerning U.S. imperialism in Southeast Asia during the same period. He won the American Book Award for The Dawning of the Apocalypse: The Roots of Slavery, White Supremacy, Settler Colonialism, and Capitalism in the Long Sixteenth Century in 2021.
Donald Trump continues to amaze and delight conservatives with his team of Outsiders, all of whom are determined to return the United States government to the people to whom it belongs. But just what makes each of these appointees special? And more importantly, HOW DO THEY COMPARE TO THE SWAMP CREATURES THEY ARE REPLACING? In this first set of head-to-head comparisons, Hot Mic host Bill Whittle drills deep into both of their backgrounds and provides a rock-solid foundation to support the hope that this enormous job of rehabilitation and restoration is actually possible.

Esteemed historian Dr. Horne joins us for an eye-opening discussion about his new book, "Armed Struggle? Panthers and Communists, Black Nationalists and Liberals in Southern California through the 60s and 70s." This episode dives deep into the intricacies of organizing under capitalism, informed by Dr. Horne's personal experiences with the Black Panther Party. We also revisit his thought-provoking analysis of Washington DC, where the paradox of power and race reveals much about the foundational myths of the United States. Dr. Horne challenges us to rethink the historical narratives that shape our understanding of American history, particularly the events of 1776 and their limited impact on indigenous peoples and enslaved populations. Our conversation does not shy away from the hard truths of America's political landscape. We explore the historical decisions of the NAACP and their relevance to modern activism, the arduous task of campaigning against military spending, and the pressing need for a revitalized labor movement. Dr. Horne discusses "settler colonialism" and unpacks its implications, both historically and in today's context, touching on issues like Cherokee assimilation and class collaboration. We also address the counterrevolution against diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, and the precarious future for undocumented workers should Trump return to office. This multifaceted episode promises to be as enlightening as it is thought-provoking.
