Podcasts about Imperialism

Dr. Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi, himself a former political prisoner, models what a letter of solidarity written to Iranian political prisoners might look like: https://www.jadaliyya.com/Details/47613/An-Alternative-Open-Letter-to-Iran%E2%80%99s-Political-PrisonersI'd say subscribe to https://www.rfemedia.com/ for the full episode but we forgot to get to Dr. Ghamari-Tabrizi's solidarity letter until the very end. So enjoy the full episode for free!Our argument is not a new one: that western intellectuals who purport to be anti-imperialist often do the work of imperialism by bothsidesing human rights abuses and war crimes, thereby manufacturing consent or at least fostering an information atmosphere of moral confusion so people find it challenging to pick a side. This directly aids and abets both Imperialism and the War State. Enjoy!

It's a Fun Day Monday on The Majority Report On today's program: Donald Trump threatens to bomb the s*** out of Oman if they get in the way of a deal in a phone call with Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst. JD Vance says on the Fox News that the number one goal for the Iran war is to keep gas and oil prices lower for Americans. Trump must have been listening to the Vice President as he responded with a post on Truth Social that says the number one goal is to make sure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon.   Daniel Bessner, co-host of the American Prestige Podcast and publisher of the Imperialist Realism newsletter or Substack, joins the program for a conversation about his new book: "Imperialist Realism: Politics and Culture at the End of the American Century". Elijah Manley, candidate challenging Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz in the Democratic primary for Florida's 20-Congressional District, joins the program for a conversation about his campaign. In the Fun Half: Fox News' Joey Jones calls the sailors on the USS Lincoln that are complaining about being on the longest deployment in modern history sell outs. Trump says that he will never apologize for raising the cost of gas prices because it was worth it for Iran to never get a nuclear weapon. That message should play well during the midterms. Trump's polling with Hispanic men has drop 51 points since 2024. RFK, Jr. debases himself while trying to defend Trump's claim that he saw a baby getting a vaccination the size of soda bottle. Tim Pool tries to play the moderate on Jubilee's Surrounded. all that and more.

Carlos Martinez | 1 May 2026 A true working-class intellectual, Parenti never watered down his analysis for the sake of respectability, popularity or a well-paid job. Michael Parenti showed that the choice facing humanity is not between capitalism and some imaginary perfect socialism, but between the actually-existing struggle for a better world and the barbarism associated with a dying capitalism. ------------------------------------ Subscribe!

One way to understand how the U.S. operates around the world is the Godfather model. Obey the Don and you'll be well rewarded. Cross him up and it's lights out. The U.S. maintains its global power out of the barrel of a gun. Of course, for rhetorical purposes Washington is dedicated to human rights, freedom and democracy. In practice it implements mafia-type rules. In its origins, the Founding Fathers emulated Britain. By the end of World War Two the Union Jack was replaced by the Stars and Stripes and America ruled the waves. It invades, bombs and occupies countries, imposes sanctions and blockades and kidnaps and assassinates leaders. Chomsky says, “Since its founding, America has scarcely had a year without resorting to violence.”

Proletarian TV | 19 July 2026 Reproduced from ‪@garlandn‬ with thanks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBtbn3KrBA4 This week, Comrade Joti spoke with Garland Nixon about the connection between the imperialist war machine and repression – the increasingly draconian silencing of dissenting voices at home. What is it that makes war inevitable in the era of global monopoly capitalism? And why is repression such an important part of the war drive? What are the signs that the system is in crisis, and how can we tell that its rulers are not in quite such a strong position as they would have us believe? We also discussed the anointing of Andy Burnham as (unopposed) Labour leader and Britain's next (unelected) prime minister. What has this process revealed about the ruling class's agenda at home and abroad? And why is it that an apparently ‘left' Labour government is the preferred vehicle for carrying out the most brutal austerity at home and combining that austerity with ever more rabid and bloodthirsty warmongering abroad? Ultimately, we must learn the necessary lessons, get up off our knees and start organising ourselves for a serious fight-back. While the war-hungry monopoly banksters remain in charge, our lives are only going one way – and our children's prospects with them. Everything we need for a bright future exists; the first step to building that future is recognising that we can and must join the fight to comprehensively defeat and dismantle British imperialism on the home front. ______________________________________________ Subscribe!

CLICK HERE! To send us a message! Ask us a Question or just let us know what you think!"The Ideal Republic" is a famous peroration from William Jennings Bryan's 1900 presidential nomination acceptance speech (often titled "Imperialism"). It outlines a vision of America as a moral guide against global empire-building, later recorded by Thomas Alva Edison on wax cylinders in 1908 and re-released later.  Another Item from History's Agenda Historical Speech Series.Core Themes of the SpeechAnti-Imperialism: Bryan argued that the United States should not rule over overseas colonies like the Philippines, as doing so emulated oppressive European empires and betrayed foundational republican principles. Voices of DemocracyCitizen Sovereignty: He described an ideal nation where every citizen acts as a sovereign ruler, but no person wears or desires a crown. Moral Leadership: The speech contrasts a U.S. flag representing love and inspiration with foreign flags driven by fear, asserting that America's true strength lies in its peaceful, democratic example rather than military might.

Democrats are going after Ken Paxton for spending July 4th in England, and you need to see what James Talarico actually posted before the media spins it. In the Texas Senate race, Talarico called out Paxton for being in London during the 250th anniversary of American independence. He posted a video of Paxton there and claimed it was the last place any patriotic Texan should be that weekend. Talarico stayed in Texas and posed with Willie Nelson instead. While regular Americans were focused on family, barbecues, and making ends meet, political elites turned a personal trip into campaign ammo. The irony of attacking someone for being in the U.K. right after celebrating independence from Britain hasn't gone unnoticed. Pat also covered: Graham Platner drops out of the Maine race. Why Trump changed planes on his way to Turkey. James Talarico partners up to reach trans show attendees. Sara Gonzales joins to break down Texas politics. Smithsonian's American History Museum claims Mickey Mouse represents “blackface.” Do you think a politician's personal vacation should be fair game during campaign season?

Check us out at https://www.rfemedia.com/Imperialism is a primary contradiction, so let's talk about it because no one is addressing the veteran angle in a critical way . Platner's defenders have been using his self-celebrated service record and the combat PTSD excuse in order to explain away bad behavior, alcohol abuse, and a failure to come to terms with the true cost of the Global War on Terror. I think if some of us were more politically disciplined a bunch of people would not have been side-swiped by this recent credible allegations.It's just me today for this episode, everyone else is on summer break so I'm stuck having to talk about Platner, about what military service truly means in all its violence and why I currently do not trust a single veteran in office or a single one who is running, and why placing your faith in singular movement leaders to usher in the revolution and turn the electoral college and this whole franchise around is never going to cut it. We might talk about Cesar Chavez, since it's somewhat apropos.

Send us Fan MailJoin Professor Jeffrey Sachs and historian Sam Dalrymple for a fascinating discussion of his book Shattered Lands: Five Partitions and the Making of Modern Asia. Drawing on extensive archival research, personal histories, and overlooked narratives, Dalrymple reveals how the dissolution of the British Raj reshaped a vast region stretching from Yemen and the Gulf to India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Myanmar, giving rise to many of the political fault lines that continue to define the modern world.Together, they explore the five partitions that fractured the British Indian Empire, including the division of India and Pakistan, the creation of Bangladesh, the contested futures of Hyderabad and Kashmir, and the often-forgotten connections between South Asia and the Gulf. They examine the human consequences of partition, from mass displacement and divided families to enduring conflicts, militarized borders, and unresolved questions of identity and sovereignty. The conversation also highlights the immense cultural, linguistic, and religious diversity of the region and considers how the legacies of empire continue to shape contemporary geopolitics.This episode offers listeners a powerful rethinking of modern Asian history, challenging conventional narratives and illuminating the imperial roots of many of today's most pressing global challenges. It is a story of migration, memory, conflict, and resilience, one that underscores how understanding the past is essential for imagining a more peaceful and interconnected future.The Book Club with Jeffrey Sachs is brought to you by the SDG Academy, the flagship education initiative of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network.

What happens when a feeling we assume is a universal human experience is actually shaped, defined, and even created by our specific cultural language and material conditions? Macquarie University's Future Fellow at the School of Humanities, Dr. Katie Barclay, joins host PJ Wehry to discuss the overlooked complexities of a deeply human emotion. Dr. Barclay explores the history and cultural variety of this feeling in her book, Loneliness in World History. They examine how loneliness is frequently not just an internal psychological state, but rather a reflection of our relationships with our environment, our community, and the specific language we use to make sense of our world. In this conversation they explore: How the "language trap" challenges our ability to compare emotions across cultures, and why translating words for love and loneliness requires understanding their thick cultural context. The surprising nighttime weeping rituals of the Kaluli people in Papua New Guinea, where singing about loneliness serves as a cathartic communal release of pain. Why the historical narrative of human "modernization"—moving from supposedly primitive communal selves to modern individualized subjects—carries deeply colonial and problematic assumptions. The physiological elements of isolation, including "touch hunger" and how the modern internet trend of Mukbang satiates the deep-seated desire to eat alongside a community. How physical places and material architecture—from fairy-tale forests to utopian high-rise flats and car-centric suburbs—actively teach us to feel isolated and shape our emotional experiences. The paradox of the "lonely genius," revealing how the supposedly solitary pursuit of art and creativity is fundamentally dependent on an unseen network of community support and labor. This is a conversation for anyone interested in world history, anthropology, and the humanities who wants to understand the cultural weight behind our everyday emotions and how we can navigate our increasingly isolated, digital modern age. Make sure to check out Dr. Barclay's book: Loneliness in World History

This is episode 1 of a six-part series on food imperialism. Welcome to Edible Empire, a podcast by Planet Pulse Pacific about the hidden cost of our food.We celebrate flavours, but rarely the people behind them. This podcast uncovers how food—once shaped by empire and now by corporate power—has long been used to control land, labour, and cultures.This episode explores how global food systems are shaped by historical power structures and capitalist mechanisms that prioritise corporate profit and "cheap food" over the health of ecosystems and human communities.Where does our food come from? Who works in the fields that produce our fruit and vegetables? Who is making a profit from the food we eat? This episode sets the scene for the series, introducing the concept of food supply chains—the intricate trade routes that keep supermarket shelves stocked with produce all year round. But how did these global networks come to be? Tracing the history of our globalised food systems, we uncover why our food systems look the way they do today. Featuring Professors Harriet Friedmann and Raj Patel.Professor Harriet Friedmann begins by tracing how global power shifted from a British-led system to one dominated by the US dollar. She explains that this change transformed how the world eats, replacing diverse, sustainable local farming with industrial monocultures like wheat and palm oil. This shift prioritised international profit over local cultures and environmental health.Building on this history, Professor Raj Patel exposes the deception of "cheap" food. He argues that low prices are only possible by pushing the true costs onto the planet and underpaid workers. According to Patel, the global food system isn't broken; it is designed to make hunger profitable.

Dr. Horne, Anthony, and Miguel framed the spectacle as US imperial theater echoing “bread and circuses” and even late-stage Roman Empire decline. Additionally, Dr. Horne, Anthony, and Miguel discussed the parallels between Dana White and historic boxing promoters, fighter labor exploitation, and the event being used as a propaganda tool for US patriotism and militarization. Also, Miguel posed the question of alleged match-fixing amid the wider boom in sports gambling, crypto payments, and prediction markets, including the alleged leaked viral Twitter exchange between former UFC fighter and now commentator Daniel Cormier and Eric Trump. In the leaked message, Eric Trump sought insider betting information ahead of the UFC event. The episode conversation also links these dynamics to finance capital, media consolidation, and the crisis of US imperialism. Miguel, Dr. Horne, and Anthony also examined the UFC's new partnership with an AI military startup called Anduril and the normalization of AI within culture and warfare. To conclude the podcast, they discussed Dr. Horne and Anthony's article on Whiteness, Jake Paul, and the crisis of US Imperialism.Gerald Horne is John Jay and Rebecca Moors Chair of History and African American Studies at the University of Houston. Dr. Horne is the author of 50 books, including The BitterSweet Science: Racism, Racketeering, and the Political Economy of Boxing. His latest book is The Counter-Revolution Of 1893: The Hawaii Coup and the Roots of U.S. Imperialism in the Asia-Pacific Basin. Anthony Ballas is an organizer with NFEE Local 4935. He is also a PhD student in Literature at Duke University. His work appears in Monthly Review, Protean Magazine, Caribbean Quarterly, 3:AM Magazine, Truthout, Middle West Review, CounterPunch, Scalawag Magazine, Peace, Land and Bread Magazine, and elsewhere. He is also the host of the De Facto Podcast and co-host of Cold War Cinema. Links:* Follow Dr. Gerald Horne on Facebook * Black & Red — 40th Anniversary Edition by Dr. Gerald Horne (Pre-order)  * Slave Trade and the Roots of U.S. Imperialism by Dr. Gerald Horne (Pre-order) * De Facto Podcast with Anthony Ballas * The Cold War Cinema Podcast with Jason Christian, Anthony Ballas, & Paul T.

Leaked audio recordings between powerful right-wing figures in Latin America have revealed a massive and shocking conspiracy—involving the United States and Israel—to forge an international political network with the expressed purpose of undermining leftist leaders in the region.

Imperialism was a masterclass in maintaining the fiction of autonomy while quietly acquiring the assets of an empire. Professor James Onley, chair of Gulf and Arab Studies at the American University of Sharjah, dissects the sophisticated loopholes used by colonial powers to exert influence without the liabilities of formal control. This conversation highlights the deep-seated socioeconomic connections between India and the Gulf, a relationship far older than the modern state system. Dr. Onley provides a nuanced look at the collaborative nature of empire on the cheap, where local elites often navigated British protection to secure their own regional interests. From the arrival of Arab nationalism to the digital preservation of over two million archival pages in the Qatar Digital Library, this dialogue reveals the shifting layers of identity and power that have shaped the Arabian Peninsula.   0:00 Introduction 5:11 Distinctive Traits of British Presence in the Gulf 9:05 Millennia of Deep-seated Indo-Gulf Ties 13:17 Divergent Theories on Imperial Motivations 15:40 Indigenous Collaboration and the Native Agent Network 18:49 Transitioning from Formal Control to Security Guarantees 19:57 The Enduring Economic Gravity of India 23:01 Navigating the Administrative Hierarchies of Empire 24:45 Legal Fictions and the Optics ofinfluence 28:04 Shared sovereignty and empire on the Cheap 32:55 Friction and Resistance Across the Regional Map 36:40 Shifting Layers of Identity Before Nationalism 41:40 Reorienting from the Indian Ocean to the Arab World 54:36 Digital Preservation and the Democratizing of Archives   James Onley is the Ahmed Seddiqi Chair in Gulf & Arab Studies and Professor of History. He specializes in the history and heritage of the Gulf region, the Gulf's historical connections with South Asia, archives and archival digitization, and digital humanities. He is Founding Editor of the Journal of Arabian Studies (est. 2011). Before joining AUS, he was Director of Historical Research at Qatar National Library, responsible for digitizing historical records for the Qatar Digital Library (www.QDL.qa), and Director of the Centre for Gulf Studies at the University of Exeter.   Connect with James Onley

This is Part 2 of our series, “The Theological Underpinnings of Modernity.” In this episode, we move from al-Andalus to Columbus and the role of apocalyptic Christianity in the making of empire.

 The MOU between United States and Iran has created lots of buzz of a “defeated United States”, “a break between Israel and the United States” and a resurrection of the political fortunes of JD Vance as the ‘peace candidate'.  As usual, a deeper look at the facts tell a different story.

Enter Charles A. Conant, theorist of “surplus capital.” Rothbard shows how Conant's claim that mature economies must export capital abroad linked banking reform to economic imperialism—a theory that traveled from pro-imperialists to Wilshire, Hobson, and Lenin.

The theory put into practice: imposing the gold-exchange standard on U.S. dependencies and client states—Puerto Rico, the Philippines, Mexico, and others—administered by a cadre of economists and academics and tying client currencies to the dollar.

Imperialism and Terrorism. A short overview from Russia's Red Line As part of preparations for the Third International Anti-Fascist Forum in May 2026, which focused this time on the question of terrorism, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation produced this hard-hitting film. First shown to forum participants on the opening day, we now bring it to you. Beginning with imperialist colonial crimes in Asia and Africa, covering two imperialist-engendered world wars and bringing us up to date with the heinous activities of western military-tech corporations like Palantir, you won't find this documentary on any mainstream channel. With thanks to the KPRF and its media team at Red Line. For the video see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlL491VNGSE ______________________________________________ Subscribe! Donate!

In this wide-ranging conversation, Dru Johnson sits down with theologians Daniel Bannoura and Bruce Fisk, contributors to Being Christian After the Desolation of Gaza, to explore the Israel-Palestine conflict through the lens of Palestinian Christian experience. Drawing on history, theology, and personal experience, Bannoura and Fisk argue that the crisis in Gaza cannot be understood apart from the broader history of Zionism, Palestinian displacement, and the ongoing struggle for justice and human dignity in the region.The discussion examines the relationship between Christianity, Christian Zionism, and modern Israeli politics, while also addressing questions of antisemitism, Palestinian identity, settler violence, military occupation, and competing historical narratives. Dru pushes back on several claims, creating a thoughtful exchange that highlights both areas of agreement and disagreement.The episode also explores how biblical interpretation shapes political views, why many Western Christians know little about Palestinian Christians, and how younger generations are rethinking the Israel-Palestine debate. Throughout the conversation, the guests challenge listeners to consider what Christian faithfulness, neighbor love, and justice look like in the aftermath of Gaza's devastation.This is the first installment of a deeper discussion on theology, politics, Israel, Palestine, Gaza, and the future of Christian engagement with one of the world's most contested conflicts.

Myriam Charabaty, a Lebanese political analyst and journalist, joins Breht for a wide-ranging discussion on Lebanon, the struggle against imperialism and Zionism, the nature of solidarity and resistance, and the rapidly shifting political landscape of West Asia. Drawing from both personal experience and political analysis, Myriam helps unpack the history, forces, and contradictions shaping the country while challenging many of the assumptions commonly found in Western media and political discourse. The conversation ranges from questions of sovereignty, faith, and national liberation to the human realities of war, occupation, and collective struggle. Along the way, Breht and Myriam explore the relationship between Christianity, Islam, and anti-imperialism, the criminal pager terrorist attack by Israel, what meaningful solidarity from those of us in the imperial core looks like, the role of Hezbollah in Lebanese society, the religious diversity within Lebanon, and the challenges facing those committed to self-determination and liberation in an era of deepening global crisis.   Follow Myriam and her work: X: https://x.com/miriam00961 Substack: https://substack.com/@myriamch Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/liberationchronicles?igsh=c2NnenNscG5uZ3Zn   ---------------------------------------------------- Check out our NEW REV LEFT MERCH with Goods For The People HERE 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 https://revleftradio.com/

On today's episode we talk about a man whose influence on the trajectory of American history is undeniable and pervasive, but whose name you may never have heard of: John Hay, a secretary to President Lincoln and Secretary of State under Mckinley and Teddy Roosevelt. What might the world be like without him?

In the early 20th century, nothing quite fit — fire hoses couldn't connect to one another, football teams played with different balls, traffic lights meant different things in different states. Then World War II exposed the deadly cost of incompatibility, and the US quietly imposed a single solution on production lines across the world: the 60-degree screw. Roman Mars and historian Daniel Immerwahr tell the story of a hidden industrial empire, built one standard at a time.
