Today we chat with George Ciccariello-Maher about the recent historic elections in Colombia, the problems the government faces, the rising tide of leftism in Latin America, and how the US and corporations may have to work with these new governments. Shownotes GeoMaher Venezuela Analysis- Colombia
Interviewer: MATTHEW BERKMAN. As the old saying goes, when you are holding a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. GEORGE CICCARIELLO-MAHER argues in an upcoming book that, in our society, the police have become that sort of hammer, blocking us from envisioning other ways to resolve conflict even as the police themselves are responsible for violence inflicted on poor and minority neighborhoods. In his discussion with political scientist Matthew Berkman, Ciccariello-Maher describes cases in Latin America where communities have simultaneously expelled police and criminals, taking control into their own hands. While he does not contend that police abolitionists will achieve their goals quickly, he points to the value of the “abolitionist horizon” in opening up the American imagination – and policy discussions – to radical alternatives to ubiquitous policing.
We chat with political theorist George Ciccariello-Maher to discuss his forthcoming book, "A World Without Police," coming out in 2021. We discuss the origins of the police, how they are actively used as a tool of social control, and the possibility of a world without police. Shownotes We must disband the police: Body cameras aren't enough -- only radical change will stop cops who kill (2015 article) Police departments are broken. Is it time to abolish them all together? | Pro/Con (2020 article)
Bernie Sanders' presidential bid has run into a wall, as the COVID-19 pandemic puts the Democratic Party primary campaign into suspended animation. We are joined by George Ciccariello-Maher to discuss grassroots mobilization and electoral politics.

Alejandro Velasco and George Ciccariello-Maher join us on the podcast to discuss the truth about what's happening in Venezuela right now.
Venezuela scholar George Ciccariello-Maher and journalist Kim Ives discuss recent developments and examine the massive protests rocking Haiti’s U.S.-backed president. The Intercept’s Jon Schwarz details the bloody and murderous career of Elliott Abrams, the man now in charge of U.S.-Venezuela operations. And journalist Sharif Abdel Kouddous explains the failed revolution in Egypt and outlines U.S.-backed dictator General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi’s plot to make himself president for life.
In this episode we talk with George Ciccariello-Maher. He is an organizer, writer, scholar and radical political theorist. He is also the author of Decolonizing Dialectics and two books on radical politics in Venezuela, We Created Chavez: A People’s History of the Venezuelan Revolution, and Building The Commune: Radical Democracy in Venezuela. We talk to Ciccariello-Maher about the current coup attempt in Venezuela, Juan Guaido, Nicolas Maduro, the opposition, and Chavismo in as much complexity as possible. We do so in hopes that this discussion will shed light on some misconceptions, over simplifications, and in the process illuminate different possibilities for solidarity with the revolutionary movement in Venezuela against the forces of global capitalism.

George Ciccariello-Maher - scholar, activist, writer, and Marxist - and I talk about dialectics, solidarity, and why socialism is incomplete without anti-imperialism. It's a great, fast-paced, and deep conversation.
This episode launches the Feeling Political series on Change Over Time. Feeling Political explores the interaction between politics, emotions, and action. The series is based on an old podcast of the same name. It features short interviews with various people. In this episode we hear from Abbie Illenberger and Rose Brewer, board members of Project South. I interviewed both women at the 30th anniversary celebration of Project South back in November 2016 just after the election. We also have some bonus content from George Ciccariello-Maher who points out some possible opportunities for organizing. Find out more at changeovertimepodcast.com.
George Ciccariello-Maher is a political scientist and activist whose work focuses on the historical and current landscape of insurgent politics and anti-capitalism. As an outspoken left academic, Ciccariello-Maher is a favorite target of white supremacists and other right-wing extremists, whose threats and harassment led to his resignation from Drexel University in 2017. In this conversation, he tells how his early life informed his political development, why Venezuela's recent history is such a vital piece of understanding global politics, and how riots and other forms of militant resistance can be effective means for achieving social and economic justice.
Around the country, as the demand to abolish ICE spreads, occupations of its offices are springing up. In many of the cities where such occupations exist, they have heightened contradictions between the proclamations of "sanctuary" by elected officials wanting to look progressive, and those officials' actual policies of repressing protest. George Ciccariello-Maher, an activist and academic, has taken part in the Occupy ICE encampment in Philadelphia and joins me to discuss the evolution of the tactic and demand, the relationship of movements to self-proclaimed progressive mayors, and more. I think we are used to abolitionist language seeming really extreme or long-term or pie in the sky, and yet, we have seen this claim take root and spread. Partly because of the real brutality of what ICE is doing and the transparency of what is going on. I think it is also really important to remember that one of the first things I think we should do as analysts, but also as movement organizers is to historicize, to think about the fact that ICE is not that old. ICE is a new institution. ICE has not been around very long. Abolishing it really should not be that difficult. That points both towards the potential and the possibility of this claim to actually come about. I think that is why you see many Democrats, or some Democrats at least, talking about the abolition of ICE, but it also points toward the dangers because we are in a strange situation where you are talking about abolishing something, but it is really just an intermediate demand because the last thing we want is to see ICE simply replaced by INS, by Border Patrol doing the same exact work or going back to an old status quo which is not good enough for us. I think we need to be very careful to tether the demand to abolish ICE to the demand to not replace it. This is actually what a lot of Democrats have been insisting on, “We will find a better replacement.” No. We don’t want any replacement for this. We want to roll back the powers that have been granted even to Border Patrol in recent decades and the dramatic expansion of that agency and the dramatic expansion of its budget and expansion of its ground force on the border. We want a radical transformation, ultimately, that points toward border abolition by the end.

In 2012, the journal Theory and Event published a symposium of essays on the killing of Florida teen Trayvon Martin earlier this year. The symposium brought together an array of contemporary theorists - Anna Marie Smith, Anne Norton, Michael Hanchard, Stephen H. Marshall, Ange-Marie Hancock, Mark Reinhardt, Christopher J. Lebron, and George Ciccariello-Maher - to demonstrate ongoingness of theorizing, the ways we are always to an extent in the middle of the events we endeavor to understand. Guest editor Neil Roberts joined us to talk about the symposium.
Few words elicit such warm feelings as the term "Democracy." Wars are supposedly fought for it, foreign policies are built around it, protecting and advancing it is considered the United States' highest moral order. Democracy's alleged opposite - broadly called "authoritarianism," "autocracy" or "tyranny” - is cast as the ultimate evil. The stifling, oppressive boot of the state that curtails liberties and must be fought at all costs. This is the world in which we operate and the one where the United States and its satellite media and NGO allies fight to preserve and defend democracy. So how is "democracy" defined and how are those definitions used to justify American exceptionalism? Where do positive and negative rights come into play, and how do societal choices like illiteracy, poverty, and hunger factor into our notions of freedom? On today's episode, we discuss the limits of democracy rankings, the oft-cited "Polity IV" metric devised by the CIA-funded Center for Systemic Peace, and more with guest George Ciccariello-Maher.
George Ciccariello-Maher is the guest on this week's episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show. He is a political scientist and activist who is a visiting faculty member at New York University. Professor Ciccariello-Maher was formerly at Drexel University before he was forced out of his position by a coordinated right-wing campaign of harassment which included death threats and other violence. Professor Ciccariello-Maher was targeted by the right-wing mob in this new era of McCarthyism because of a series of online posts and other comments which discussed toxic white masculinity and mass murder by guns in the aftermath of the Las Vegas Massacre. He further inflamed the mob by also mocking the delusional myth of so-called "white genocide" that is circulated by white supremacists across the right-wing echo chamber including Fox "News". During this week's episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show, George and Chauncey discuss white identity politics, the right-wing's assault on higher education, as well as the rise of Donald Trump and what this moment reveals about enduring white supremacy and white male rage. George also shares what it was like to go on "Fox News" and defeat Tucker Carlson. In this week's episode, Chauncey DeVega continues to caution people to remain focused on the real issues instead of being mesmerized by Donald Trump's extremely bad and shameful second week of 2018--a week which included revelations about hush money to a porn star, saying that nonwhite people come from "sh@!hole" countries, the release of the very damning Fusion GPS testimony, and incompetence during a public meeting on immigration. To close out this week's podcast, Chauncey discusses the connections between "white trash" and Trump's "sh@!hole" slur of nonwhite immigrants.

This week as a special cup of holiday anti-capitalist cheer we’re joined by George Ciccariello-Maher. He’s a writer, professor, organizer, and the author of Building The Commune: Radical Democracy in Venezuela, Decolonizing Dialectics, and We Created Chavez: A People’s History of Venezuelan Revolution, which has now been translated into French, Arabic, and Spanish. In this episode George recaps some of the moments in 2017 that inspired him the most. We also talk about Decolonizing US Dialectics, Du Bois’s Black Reconstruction, the place for electoral politics in revolutionary spaces, the cultural work of building revolution, the drawbacks of shaming people, Venezuela, and where he thinks the left movements we've seen in recent years might go in 2018. Finally we get the opportunity to ask George the question leftists have been waiting for an answer to all year long. What does George want for Christmas in 2017?
A Fresno State professor says he did nothing wrong, won’t ‘pay a dime’ for erasing anti-abortion messages. A Communist professor, George Ciccariello-Maher says the recent Texas church shooting was specifically caused by “whiteness”. The U.S. Army is set to decide whether Pvt. Bowe Bergdahl is entitled to as much as $300,000 in back pay. One year since President Donald Trump’s historic win, none of the hysterical predictions about his presidency have materialized. Donna Brazile lays out how Obama’s obsession with ‘His Image’, and ‘Leeched’ the Democratic Party ‘Of Its Vitality’.
In this bonus episode, we speak with Dr. George Ciccariello-Maher, Associate Professor of Politics and Global Studies at Drexel University. Placed on forced leave by Drexel, he is among a growing number of academics subjected to retaliation for their critiques of white supremacy and openly fascist organizing. Ciccariello-Maher shows us how this university-centered backlash must be situated within the broader resurgence of fascism and white nationalism, which, in turn, cannot be understood apart from the deep structures of white supremacy, colonialism, and heteropatriarchy from which fascism emerges. He also sheds light on the false hope of educational reform within prisons, and how we ought to look instead to the forms of insurgent intellectuality abolitionists are creating both inside and outside prison walls. Our conversation gestures to the possibility for a renewed anti-racist, anti-fascist resistance, both on university campuses and beyond them.
In this episode, Dean and Matt interview George Ciccariello-Maher about Chavismo, Venezuela, dual power, the communes, Maduro and the ways Christianity might have informed Hugo Chavez' political imagination.★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
In today's "Snowflake Alert" segment I'll tell you about what happened when Professor Harley Shaiken tried to give a quiz to his class at UC Berkeley. The "Culture War" segment has us taking a look at what has parents of sixth-grade students of Lithonia Middle School in Georgia fuming. Spoiler: the school quizzed students about their knowledge of sexual “identity definitions”. The "Outrage" segment covers three stories. Story number one; George Ciccariello-Maher, tenured associate professor of politics and global studies at Drexel University, said that the primary threat to free speech and expression across America's colleges and universities come from “a coordinated right-wing campaign”. Story number two; California Gov. Jerry Brown has signed a new law that will punish any health care worker who “willfully and repeatedly” does not use the “preferred name or pronouns” of transgender patients. Story Number Three; Judge Gregory S Ross has awarded a rapist joint custody of a child conceived from the act of raping a then 12-year-old girl. Don't forget about the Edwards Notebook and the Veteran's Tip of the Day! All of this and more as time allows. Listen live, join the chatroom, be a part of the show. Video From UC Berkeley story

This episode was very special to me, as Drexel University professor George Ciccariello-Maher sits down to discuss various subjects regarding the American right's reaction to his Twitter comments as well as the state of political discouse in America. The real meat and potatoes for this episode is Venezuela, a nation currently in a state of turmoil that has been so drastic it seems almost impossible to work out of. His literary work has been indexed here, and includes We Created Chávez: A People's History of the Venezuelan Revolution, Building the Commune: Radical Democracy in Venezuela, and Decolonizing Dialectics.

This week we discuss the collapse of Ryancare, Venezuela, Coal Jobs, George Ciccariello-Maher, and eventually species being.
A terrible, dare I say Islamist Terrorist, thing happened on the way to Parliament, on the day I created the broadcast regarding the errant message of "Love Actually." Jackie's letter; Camelot 2.0; Chelsea.... What dangers are really involved in a strike vs. N. Korea? Putin's domestic and foreign "diplomacy"! "Romantic relationship"; is that what the media calls kidnapping? Higher education, and perverse evil anarchists operating with impunity via Universities, e.g., George Ciccariello-Maher via enabler Drexel University.
Drexel professor George Ciccariello-Maher caused quite the controversy and white supremacist melt down when he tweeted on Christmas Eve, "all I want for Christmas is White Genocide," a satirical reference to a concept that Ciccariello-Maher describes as a "figment of the racist imagination." To clarify, to white supremacists, white genocide consists of things like interracial dating and biracial families. Ciccariello-Maher was responding to to the white supremacists backlash against an All State insurance add which deigned to feature a Black man proposing to a white woman. Ciccariello-Maher was immediately attacked by white supremacists and their publications like Breitbart, which knowingly distorted what he said into a literal call for the massacring of white people and the elimination of the (socially constructed)white race. Not only did Ciccariello-Maher get death threats but his employer, Drexel University threw him under the bus when it kinda sorta defended his right to free speech but condemned his comments, which they didn't bother to, like, google, as "utterly reprehensible, deeply disturbing." We talk to Ciccariello-Maher about his tweet, the response it provoked, how Drexel has come around, the role of violence, why the "massacre" of "whites during the Haitian revolution... was a good thing indeed," and how to resist Trumpism.
