Read the transcript of this podcast: https://therealnews.com/from-haiti-to-minneapolis-anti-colonial-resistance-catches-white-supremacy-by-surpriseResistance is everywhere, but everywhere a surprise, especially when the agents of struggle are the colonized, the enslaved, the wretched of the earth. Anticolonial revolts and slave rebellions have often been described by those in power as “eruptions”—volcanic shocks to a system that does not, cannot, see them coming. In his new book, Anticolonial Eruptions: Racial Hubris and the Cunning of Resistance, Geo Maher diagnoses a paradoxical weakness built right into the foundations of white supremacist power, a colonial blind spot that grows as domination seems more complete. TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez interviews Maher about his book and what understanding the dynamics of anticolonial eruptions, past and present, can tell us about the historical moment we're in and the task ahead of us.Geo Maher is an organizer, writer, radical political theorist, co-editor of the Duke University Press series Radical Américas, and Visiting Associate Professor at Vassar College. He is the author of numerous books, including We Created Chávez: A People's History of the Venezuelan Revolution; Building the Commune: Radical Democracy in Venezuela; Decolonizing Dialectics; A World Without Police; and Anticolonial Eruptions: Racial Hubris and the Cunning of Resistance.Pre-Production/Studio: Dwayne GladdenPost-Production: Adam ColeyHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer: Donate: https://therealnews.com/donate-podSign up for our newsletter: https://therealnews.com/newsletter-podLike us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/therealnewsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/therealnews

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.

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?

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.
