Podcasts about revolutionary left radio

ORIGINALLY RELEASED Aug 1, 2023 When you think about the philosophies and practices of Buddhism and Marxism, you might not immediately think that they have much in common. However, you might be surprised at how much overlap and complementary resonance there actually is between these two rich and beautiful traditions. We've brought on Breht O'Shea, a Buddhist practitioner and Marxist political educator based out of Omaha, Nebraska. Breht is the host of the podcast Revolutionary Left Radio and co-host of the podcasts Red Menace, Guerrilla History, and, most recently, Shoeless in South Dakota.  In this conversation, we explore how both Buddhism & Marxism offer helpful pathways to liberation and provide a spot-on analysis of the root causes of suffering. We also explore some of the potential tensions between Buddhism and Marxism, as well as what each tradition can learn from the other. And we end with a powerful invitation to embark on the path of the Bodhisattva Revolutionary to both end the internal and structural causes and conditions of suffering and to bring forth the systemic changes necessary for the transition to a socialist and eventually communist economy based on liberation, equity, and justice for all. This interview was inspired by an episode of Revolutionary Left Radio titled Dialectics & Liberation: Insights from Buddhism and Marxism where Breht read a speech he gave at Arizona State University on the topic of dialectical materialism, Buddhism, and Marxism. Definitely check that episode out when you're done listening to this — it's a great complement to this conversation. Thank you to Carolyn Raider for this episode's cover art and to Mount Eerie for the intermission music. Upstream theme music was composed by Robert Raymond/Lanterns.

Well, it's been a year and now our fourth episode in the Andrei Tarkovsky series. This is truly one of the greatest films ever made and I hope you enjoy our deep and vulnerable conversation.Amanda Joy Moon:⁠⁠Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amandajoymoon/ ⁠Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/riotgrrrlprintz/?etsrc=sdt ⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠: https://tiktok.com/@amandajoymoonRevLeft:https://www.revolutionaryleftradio.com/https://www.revolutionaryleftradio.com/guerrilla-historyhttps://www.revolutionaryleftradio.com/#/redmenace/Left of the Projector Linkshttps://www.patreon.com/LeftoftheProjectorPodhttps://boxd.it/5T9O1https://leftoftheprojector.comhttps://instagram.com/leftoftheprojectorhttp://tiktok.com/@leftoftheprojectorpodhttps://www.threads.net/@leftoftheprojector

Join Breht, Amanda, and Evan as they delve into Andrei Tarkovsky's first feature film, Ivan's Childhood (1962). The episode starts with a lighthearted discussion about dream dinner guests, then moves into a detailed analysis of themes like innocence lost, war trauma, and symbolic elements such as trees and cobwebs. The hosts draw parallels between the film's depiction of war and ongoing humanitarian crises like those in Palestine. Part of their Tarkovsky series, this episode also touches on broader issues like moral responsibility toward children and insights from the guests' personal work.Amanda Joy Moon:⁠⁠Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amandajoymoon/ ⁠Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/riotgrrrlprintz/?etsrc=sdt ⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠: https://tiktok.com/@amandajoymoonRevLeft:https://www.revolutionaryleftradio.com/https://www.revolutionaryleftradio.com/guerrilla-historyhttps://www.revolutionaryleftradio.com/#/redmenace/Left of the Projector Linkshttps://www.patreon.com/LeftoftheProjectorPodhttps://boxd.it/5T9O1https://leftoftheprojector.comhttps://instagram.com/leftoftheprojectorhttp://tiktok.com/@leftoftheprojectorpodhttps://www.threads.net/@leftoftheprojector

UPSTREAM INTERVIEW W/ BREHT AND ALYSON:  What Is To Be Done? This is the question so profoundly posed by the Russian Revolutionary and Bolshevik leader, Vladimir Lenin, in his landmark text of the same name. Although it was written well over a century ago, this text, the questions it asked, and the paths forward that it provided, are just as relevant today as they were a hundred years ago. And just as urgent. What roles do spontaneity and disciplined organization have in leftist movements? Can we focus simply on economic reform, or do our actions need a larger political framework to structure, guide, and propel them?  Why does it feel like even though so many of us are motivated to work towards structural change, that things continue to get worse? Why does it seem like potential revolutionary struggles in the West always seem to stall and fail to move from a singular moment to a protracted movement?  These are old and familiar questions — a lot of ink has been spilled and speeches made exploring them — and in this Conversation, we've brought on two guests who've not only thought about these questions in depth, but who have some pretty compelling answers that draw from revolutionary theory and practice in both their personal lives and from the deep well of wisdom bequeathed by theorists Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Mao.  Breht O'Shea is the host of the podcast Revolutionary Left Radio and a co-host of Guerrilla History. He's been on the show multiple times so you may already be familiar with his voice. Alyson Escalate, who has also been on the show, is the co-host, along with Breht, of Red Menace, a podcast that explains and analyzes revolutionary theory and then applies its lessons to our contemporary conditions.  Further Resources: Red Menace – What Is To Be Done? - V.I.

In this conversation Breht from Revolutionary Left Radio join the podcast to talk about the Friedrich Engels' short piece, "The Principles of Communism." This piece which is presented in Question and Answer form was a draft that would inform the creation of The Communist Manifesto. This is part of our series of episodes we've been doing lately where we talk to friends of the podcast about some of their favorite works, particularly works by authors who are no longer with us. So far we've talked to Thandisizwe Chimurenga & Yusef “Bunchy” Shakur about Sanyika Shakur's Stand Up, Struggle Forward, we've discussed an E.P. Thompson piece with Ivan Stoiljkovic. We also have an episode with Steven Osuna where we discuss Mao's “On The Correct Handling of Contradictions Among The People,” which will be coming soon.  We definitely want to give a big shout-out to Revolutionary Left Radio, Guerrilla History, and the Red Menace podcast. Breht puts countless hours into those projects and I don't listen to a lot of podcasts, but I do check out work from all of those projects and encourage others to do the same and support them financially if you're able to do so.  Now of course it is time to remind listeners that this is our seventh, and likely final episode for the month of September. If just five people either become new patrons or increase their pledge in these last four days of the month we will hit our goal, so we're really close, it's within reach and if you've been thinking about kicking in even just a $1 a month it'll help us hit that goal and keep sustaining the show. You can do that at patreon.com/millennialsarekillingcapitalism. One final plug I will be joining Sina Rahmani of The East Is A Podcast over on his YouTube page for a live episode on this Thursday September 28th. We would love it if folks would come through hang out with us, it'll be more relaxed, we'll just be having fun talking about current events and hopefully if some folks come through we'll even get a little bit of Q&A in with the audience.  Other Links: Is Marxism Just Religion By Another Name?

This episode is a fully-remastered edition of a Revolutionary Left Radio episode: Riding the Wave: Sweden's Integration into the Imperialist World System" featuring Torkil Lauesen.  We plan on periodically remastering some of our early episodes and re-releasing them as well, and releasing them one every month or two between our regular episodes.  Stay tuned for that!

Pushing back against the narrative that Nordic countries like Sweden are socialist paradises who don't engage in colonialism and imperialism like other western countries, Torkil dives deep into history to deconstruct this rather naive perspective and offer a historical materialist account of Sweden's actual place in the history of colonialism, capitalism, and imperialism.  Henry Hakamaki from Guerrilla History joins Breht for the interview as well!  Check out the book here: https://www.leftwingbooks.net/book/content/riding-wave-sweden Read more of Torkil's work here: https://anti-imperialist.net/author/lauesen/ Outro Music: "I'm the Echo" by DARKSIDE ----- Support Rev Left Radio: https://www.patreon.com/RevLeftRadio or make a one time donation: PayPal.me/revleft LEARN MORE ABOUT REV LEFT RADIO: www.revolutionaryleftradio.com

In this episode your host Shibby hits back at grifter Brett of Rev Left & the Proletarian Feminists he simps for in this diss track. Everything we do: Linktr.ee/RevLumpenRadio

Spirituality is one of the most difficult subjects to talk about. Institutionalized religion has historically been a force of reaction to oppress the masses. A lot of people turn towards the Left out of their legitimate negative experiences that result from religious or spiritual practice. Whether we want to admit it or not, the same can be unfortunately said about political organizing. While it is easy to romanticize the work that we do, organizing spheres are not perfect. The fact that almost every one of us can name someone who has been harmed through this work is indicative of the costly nature that comes from our work. On this episode of The Heatwave, we wanted to spark a conversation around this issue with the help of the one and only Breht O'Shea from Revolutionary Left Radio. We discussed the pernicious trends that happen within organizing that endanger the health and safety of others and what can we possibly do about it.

There are many traditions or tendencies among the left. In fact, sometimes just trying to wrap our heads around all of the rich theoretical frameworks and various anti-capitalist thinkers can be dizzying. But it's also exciting — the richness of leftist history and theory is vital to learn and to build our work from. In this episode we've brought on someone who knows a thing or two about leftist theory — in fact, he's got multiple podcasts that go into depth on historical figures, theory, and philosophy from a post-capitalist perspective. Breht O'Shea is the host of Revolutionary Left Radio, Red Menace, and Guerrilla History. He's also an activist and organizer based out of Omaha, Nebraska. Although his breadth of knowledge spans an incredibly wide range, we brought Breht on today to focus on the Leninist tradition. We'll explore the fundamentals of Marxism–Leninism, as well as the related theoretical framework of Maoism. We talk about the importance of theory in informing our organizing, why it's important to learn about both the good and bad parts of historical figures and revolutionary movements – even when it comes to figures as controversial as Mao or Stalin. We also have a conversation about fascism in the United States, where we can go from here, and why it's important to center love and humanity in all we do.

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on a very special guest, Margrit Schiller!  Margrit was associated early on with the Red Army Faction, before being imprisoned and tortured by the West German state, being forced into exile in Cuba and Uruguay, and then having to move back to Germany more or less against her will.  A fascinating life story from someone just as committed to the struggle as ever! Margrit Schiller is author of Remembering the Armed Struggle: My Time with the Red Army Faction.  We highly recommend picking yourself up a copy from PM Press (https://pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1195).  Margrit's struggles within and against this system continue, and grabbing a copy of her book is a good way to help while we are still forced to operate within capitalism.

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on the world-renowned linguist, Professor Ruth Wodak, to talk about her book The Politics of Fear: The Shameless Normalization of Far-Right Discourse (SAGE Publications).  This book takes both a historical and analytical look at how the rhetoric of the far-right ("right wing populist" in Prof Wodak's words) plays to and stokes our fears, and how far-right parties today are emulating the worst tendencies of far-right parties of the past.  A fascinating conversation on the intersections of linguistics and politics!  We are also joined by guest host Safine Ashirova, a Russian linguist who has also done linguistic research on the rhetoric of the Nazi Party as well as current far-right parties in Germany. Ruth Wodak is Emeritus Distinguished Professor at Lancaster University.  She is one of the pioneers of the Discourse Historical Approach of critical discourse analysis.  Her book Socialist States and the Environment is available from SAGE Publications: https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/the-politics-of-fear/book265617.  You can also keep up with her latest academic publications using her research portal https://www.research.lancs.ac.uk/portal/en/people/ruth-wodak(71b5650a-f48c-4c2e-8b71-6896e291dc2b).html.   Guerrilla History is the podcast that acts as a reconnaissance report of global proletarian history, and aims to use the lessons of history to analyze the present.  If you have any questions or guest/topic suggestions, email them to us at guerrillahistorypod@gmail.com.
