In this episode, Alyson and Breht explore Friedrich Engels' Dialectics of Nature, a bold and underappreciated attempt to apply dialectical materialism to the natural sciences. Often dismissed or misunderstood, this unfinished work offers a sweeping view of reality - from physics and chemistry to evolution, human consciousness, and ecological breakdown - through the lens of Marxist philosophy. Together, they unpack Engels' central claim that nature itself unfolds dialectically: through contradiction, motion, transformation, and interconnection. They cover the three laws of dialectics, Engels' materialist account of human evolution, his critique of mechanistic science, vulgar materialism, and metaphysical thinking, and his early warnings about capitalism's ecological consequences. Along the way, they connect these insights to Marx's concept of species-being, and reflect on what this revolutionary worldview offers in the age of climate crisis, hyper-alienation, and late capitalist decay. Finally, Alyson and Breht have a fascinating open-ended discussion about the existential and spiritual implications of dialectical materialism as a worldview. Whether you're new to dialectical materialism or looking to deepen your understanding, this conversation reframes Engels' work as a profound contribution not just to Marxism, but to the philosophy of science itself. ---------------------------------------------------- Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio or here: https://www.patreon.com/TheRedMenace Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio & Red Menace HERE

The transatlantic slave trade from Africa is a well-known chapter in the history of slavery in the Western Hemisphere, but much lesser known is the enslavement of Native Americans. Many of them were shipped to plantations in the Caribbean where they were worked to death.Original article: Enslavement of Native Americans in the Caribbean

What if everything you've been told about human evolution is a lie? Archaeological whistleblower and Vedic researcher Michael Cremo shatters the mainstream timeline with forbidden discoveries that date human existence back tens of millions of years. From anomalous footprints in volcanic ash to gold mine artifacts buried beneath ancient strata, this is a story of consciousness, soul evolution, and knowledge suppression that science refuses to acknowledge. In this mind-expanding interview, Cremo draws from ancient Indian scriptures, suppressed science, and paradigm-shifting metaphysics to argue that human beings have existed far longer than Darwinian theory allows. The implications reach deep into our understanding of consciousness, reality, and the spiritual purpose of life. 00:00 – Ancient Humans: Millions of Years Old? 03:15 – Cremo's Journey into Indian Philosophy 07:45 – Forbidden Archaeology & Knowledge Suppression 12:20 – Footprints That Shouldn't Exist 16:00 – Coexistence vs. Evolution 20:30 – The Soul's Evolution, Not the Body's 25:00 – The Vedic View of the Conscious Self 29:00 – Consciousness-Based Universe & Cosmic Purpose 33:10 – Cycles of Manifestation & Hidden Knowledge 36:10 – California Gold Mine Discoveries The Portal To Ascension platform is a resource for awakening to the truth of our existence while exploring the nature of reality and the cosmos.

What began as "Russian Mountains" evolved across Europe, and eventually, found their way to the good ol' U.S. of A... In 1884, one man wanted to use his vast fortune--NO! Not to help anyone!--to keep a recently re-unioned American population from getting too drunk, too horny, and too gambly...

We join Gabriel Tupinambá from the Subset of Theoretical Practice for a discussion on the Japanese Marxist Kojin Karatani. We discuss what Karatani's project is, why we should care about it, before focusing on his magna opus The Structure of World History. We discuss his approach to modes of exchange, and why it is a novel lens, how communism fits on his scheme before mentioning some weak points. We end up with a discussion of how Gabriel´s reading of Karatani has affected his organizing.

During the 4 1/2 months it was fought, the Battle of the Somme took the crown as the deadliest battle of World War 1. This battle had it all, trench warfare, so many artillery pieces it created mountains of spent casings, fighter aircraft, and the introduction of the tank to the world as a weapon. The battle was the meeting of old world tactics and new world technology, never a good thing. The first day of the battle was the stuff of nightmares for the British. Once the 7 day artillery bombardment was finished, the Brits went over the top of their trench into No-Man's Land to charge what they believed to be an already decimated German front line. Unfortunately the metal storm unleashed over the German position for the last week was ineffective due to using the wrong type of artillery and also a pesky little leak of the British plans which gave the Germans a heads up to hunker down. As the shells stopped falling the Germans reoccupied the front line and waited for the British. What followed was the biggest loss of life in a single for the British in their history. And thats just the appetizer folks, tune in to get the full story. Support the show

Between 304 and 589 CE, China was divided into rivaling regimes occupying North and South China. While the north was controlled by a series of non-Han Chinese peoples, ultimately culminating in the Xianbei Northern Wei, the south was ruled by ruling houses of Han Chinese descent. In this companion episode to the interview ith Scott Pearce on the Northern Wei, Professor Andrew Chittick joins us to discuss the Southern Dynasties, from their development, to their society and culture, to their relationship with their northern neighbor, and finally to their legacy. Contributors: Andrew Chittick: Andrew Chittick is the E. Leslie Peter Professor of East Asian Humanities and History at Eckerd College, St. Petersburg, FL. His research focuses on the culture of early south China and maritime trade relations with Southeast Asia.  He is the author of numerous articles and two full-length books: Patronage and Community in Medieval China: The Xiangyang Garrison, 400-600 CE (SUNY Press, 2010) and The Jiankang Empire in Chinese and World History (Oxford University Press, 2020). The latter book introduces a ground-breaking new perspective on the history and political identity of what is now south China in the early medieval period (3rd-6th centuries CE), including its evolving ethnic identity, innovative military and economic systems, and engagement with broader Sino-Southeast Asian and Buddhist cultures.  Yiming Ha: Yiming Ha is the Rand Postdoctoral Fellow in Asian Studies at Pomona College. His current research is on military mobilization and state-building in China between the thirteenth and seventeenth centuries, focusing on how military institutions changed over time, how the state responded to these changes, the disconnect between the center and localities, and the broader implications that the military had on the state. His project highlights in particular the role of the Mongol Yuan in introducing an alternative form of military mobilization that radically transformed the Chinese state. He is also interested in military history, nomadic history, comparative Eurasian state-building, and the history of maritime interactions in early modern East Asia. He received his BA from UCLA, his MPhil from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and his PhD from UCLA. He is also the book review editor for Ming Studies.

ORIGINALLY RELEASED Aug 29, 2022   The rallying cry of liberty, equality, and fraternity echoed through the streets of revolutionary France—and still reverberates through history. In this episode, we examine the French Revolution as a foundational rupture in world history, one that shattered the old feudal order and set the stage for modern capitalism, liberal democracy, and the revolutionary tradition from which subsequent socialist and communist movements would draw inspiration. From the class uprising of the sans-culottes to the radical egalitarian vision of the Jacobins, and from the fall of the monarchy to the rise of Napoleon, we follow the dialectical unfolding of hope and horror, progress and betrayal. What did the revolution achieve, where did it fall short, and what lessons can today's revolutionaries draw from the fire that consumed the Ancien Régime?   Stella joins Breht to discuss (and put a unique communist spin) on the great French Revolution!   Check out our Haitian Revolution episode HERE   Check out our Paris Commune episode 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 HERE Outro Beat Prod. by flip da hood

From September 2007, Michael's conversation with John Mearsheimer, co-author of "The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy." "The Israel Lobby," by John J. Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago and Stephen M. Walt of Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, was one of the most controversial articles in recent memory. Originally published in the London Review of Books in March 2006, it provoked both howls of outrage and cheers of gratitude for challenging what had been a taboo issue in America: the impact of the Israel lobby on U.S. foreign policy.

Featured Guest Speakers: In this transmission hosted by Neil Gaur, the founder of Portal to Ascension, AJ and Thomas take viewers on a spiritual journey of channeling, unity consciousness, and vibrational awakening. Their ability to channel the same beings in real-time reveals a shared energetic field, symbolizing humanity's evolving collective awareness.

Many life-long friendships developed and the kindness was reciprocated with donations and scholarships for the children of Gander. New York : Harper, 2003. ℗2002.

Reframing India in World History breaks the stereotypical portrayal of India based on misconstrued historical theories. Prevalent constructions of Indian history are tinged with colonial historical frameworks and presentation. It is important to understand India for what it is in the past based on self-determined frameworks derived from Indian history to reclaim India's place in the world history. Based on new evidence-based research, Lavanya Vemsani explores patterns of civilization that are indigenous to India to investigate its history from the beginning to the present. This book covers topics central to a comprehensive understanding of the nation including a discussion of long held cultural notions, civilization continuity, and the historical crises deriving from conquests and colonization.

It's April Fools day which means we want to talk about one of the dumbest battles in World History...  War has always been a chaotic, messy endeavor -- and, sometimes, it's downright ridiculous. In this week's special two-part series Ben joins the badass dudes from Ridiculous History to talk about the bizarre turn of events that led to the Battle of Karánsebes. In part one, Ben introduces the gang to the legendary 'enlightened despot,' Joseph II, a guy who, diplomatically put, took self-confidence to a whole new (and possibly undeserved) level.

America Out Loud PULSE with Dr. Peter McCullough – Legislative efforts in U.S. states to remove the shots have largely stalled, while countries like Brazil enforce draconian mandates, including fines against parents who refuse to vaccinate their children. Hulscher and McCullough call for renewed efforts to withdraw the vaccines globally and encourage widespread education and policy reform to prevent further harm...

(Matthew 24:21) Our world has never seen tribulation like the tribulation that is coming on this planet at the end of the church age. God's Word explains the rise of anti-christ and the fall of civilization in graphic detail. Christ is our only hope. (0970250320) ----more----   The Tribulation Period You think the news is bad? Now wait. Just wait until the tribulation period that God says is coming on this earth. You wait. Because the news then is going to be the worst time this world has ever known. Now, thankfully, as a follower of Jesus Christ, a New Testament Christian, I don't believe we're going to be here during that period of time, and I want to pause and thank God for that. But I want to tell you, this world is about to face the worst time it's ever gone through.  The Rapture Triggers the Tribulation Period We've talked most recently as we look at what the Bible says about the end of time, about the rapture of the church, that Christ is coming in the clouds and the church is going to be carried away, caught away to be with him. What does that set in motion here on this earth? There's a period of time known in scripture as the tribulation period. It's a seven year period of time that immediately follows the church being taken out of here. Now we know that in our world today, we all have tribulation. Even now there's some tribulation. John 16:33, Jesus said, "In this world, ye shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer. I have overcome the world." So when we're talking here about the tribulation, we're not just talking about bad things happening. That happens in our present time. It doesn't mean we're in the seven-year tribulation, period. Now the tribulation taught in prophecy and scripture refers to a specific period of time at the end of this age, which is a worldwide tribulation. It literally is the worst time this world has ever seen. Jesus spoke of it in Matthew chapter 24. Here's the way he says it. Matthew 24:21, He says, "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world, to this time, no, nor ever shall be." Pretty strong words, wouldn't you say? Literally the powers of hell get unleashed on this planet.  The Role of the Holy Spirit: God's Restraining Power There is something right now restraining Satan. Oh yes. Actually not something someone, his name is the Holy Spirit. He's the great restrainer. He's the damn holding back the flood tide of iniquity keeping men from just going off the cliff and the devil running rampant and doing whatever he wants to do, but that day is coming to an end. As a matter of fact, in 2nd Thessalonians 2, the Bible talks about it, he says In 2nd Thessalonians 2:1, "Now we beseech you brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him." Remember, we've talked about Christ comes, we're called away, we're gathered to be with him. He says, "That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time." Let me explain that verse. He says, there's something holding back. What withholds us? Something is restraining the antichrist from coming on the scene. Something is keeping him from being revealed. What is it he says in verse seven? For the mystery of iniquity to already work. Only he. Who now Lth will let, or he who prevents or hinders, will continue preventing and hindering until he be taken out of the way, and then shall that wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming. The Rise of the Antichrist He says, look, an Antichrist is coming. There is a man coming called the antichrist, called the man of lawlessness, called the Little Horn in. Daniel called the Beast. He's a political ruler, empowered by Satan, who's gonna receive worship and blaspheme the true God. He'll persecute believers that are present who believe on God during the tribulation period. He's going to dominate the world scene. He's gonna make a covenant with Israel and break it. Halfway through that seven-year period, he's gonna have a prophet helping him, a false prophet, referred to in scripture as the second beast, who'll come along and perform miracles and deceive lots of people. The Antichrist is going to be a powerful person. He's going to control world commerce and even use it to demand worship. I'm telling you the Antichrist is coming, but please don't miss what is taught in Second Thessalonians chapter two. And it is this: the reason the Antichrist is not revealed, has not come on the scene yet, is that there's someone holding that back from happening. And who is that person? None other than the Holy Spirit. Now, when will the Holy Spirit be removed? The only way the Holy Spirit can be removed is we have to be removed because where does the Holy Spirit live? He lives in believers, and God's promised he would never leave us and never forsake us. So the only way the Holy Spirit can be taken out is we have to be taken out. So when the Lord Jesus Christ comes, when the church is taken out, the restrainer is gone. The Holy Spirit in dwelling believers. That is removed and the salt and light of the church is removed. Imagine what this world would be like without any gospel preaching. Imagine what this world would be like if the devil had free reign, because that's what's gonna get set in motion at this period known here as the tribulation. The Antichrist will come on the scene. He's gonna promise peace and safety. Doesn't that sound nice? And everybody who's sick of war and sick of fighting is gonna sign on and say, oh, that's what we want. He's gonna make a covenant. A covenant that would even protect Israel, would take care of Israel. Surely anybody that can bring peace when it's connected to Israel in a world of war can be believed and can be trusted, and yet this person is a deceiver. I. He is going to set in motion a period known as the tribulation period.  The Great Tribulation and Armageddon He's going to lead an alliance of western nations to have this treaty with Israel, and then three and a half years in halfway through the tribulation period, he's going to break that covenant, and then that sets in motion the period that is commonly referred to in scripture as the great tribulation. As a matter of fact, if you take Revelation chapters six through nineteen and read them carefully, it describes the sequence of the tribulation events. There are judgments coming war and bloodshed and worldwide famine and death. There'll be martyrs. There'll be catastrophic events. The nations of the earth are gonna march against Israel. The Antichrist is going to just have his way. He is Satan's emissary. He is the devil's representative in this world. I. All kinds of judgment is coming during that tribulation period. And how will it end? It's gonna end in a great battle known as the Battle of Armageddon, when the Lord Jesus Christ is gonna come and put down the antichrist and all who followed him. In other words, we've read the end of the story and we know we're on the winning side. Aren't you glad for that? May I tell you, I'm not looking for the antichrist. I have no idea who the antichrist is. We have no idea who that person is, but that's not what I'm looking for. I'm not looking for him. I'm looking for Christ because the Lord Jesus Christ is coming to catch us away.  Providing Hope in a Hopeless World Friend, I hope you'll live today looking for the soon return of Jesus Christ, but also hope in a very serious vein. With a sober mind, you'll consider the great tribulation. What lost people will endure what's coming on this world to those who do not know Jesus Christ. As their personal Savior, may it be a motivation today to share the good news of Christ with someone. Friend, I not only want to go when he comes. I wanna take as many people with me as possible, and I hope you'll do the same thing. The worst time this world has ever seen is about to come. It's on the way. It's on the horizon. We have at this moment the greatest opportunity in the history of the world - to get the gospel of Jesus Christ to those who need it. Do your part today. Outro and Resources Repeating what other people have said about the Bible is not enough. We must know the biblical reason behind what we believe. We hope you will visit us at etj.bible to access our Library of Bible teaching resources, including book-by-book studies of Scripture. You'll also find studies to watch, listen to, or read. We are so grateful for those who pray for us, who share the biblical content, and for those who invest to help us advance this ministry worldwide. Again, thank you for listening and we hope you'll join us next time on Enjoying the Journey.

How much do you know about Nelson Mandela and South Africa's brutal, racially oppressive system of apartheid? Mandela became the first black president of South Africa in 1994, just four years after serving 27 years in prison for demanding equal rights for the black citizens of the predominantly black nation of South Africa. Mandela would do so much to help dismantle the South African system of apartheid that led to his incarceration, and we'll learn about how apartheid worked, who Nelson Mandela was, and more in today's inspirational and historical episode. Merch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious PrivateFacebook Group?
