THIS IS REVOLUTION ＞podcast EP. 844: A COLD WAR ON 5 CONTINENTS You can find Dr. McCoy's book here: https://www.haymarketbooks.org/.../2631-cold-war-on-five... Transforming battlegrounds in Africa, Asia, and Latin America into veritable hellscapes, the surrogate wars of the Cold War era left behind a legacy of collective trauma and social conflict that have persisted into the present. In this ambitious work, Alfred W. McCoy uses a bottom-up, outside-in approach to offer an unexpected new perspective on the longest, most consequential conflict in modern history. McCoy renders an intimate portrait of both embattled covert operatives and committed antiwar protesters, thus humanizing the history of the Cold War—a history that has too...

RALPH LEONARDRead Ralph's Article in the Telegraph UK Here: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/01/26/britain-obsession-with-ice-this-is-not-america-trump-blm-uk/ This is not America. This was the mantra that was said to progressive activists in Britain after their importation of American politics in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd in 2020. The 2020 “awokening” globalised the BLM style: activists around the world adopted and regurgitated American talking points on race and police brutality that didn’t map well onto their own particular countries. Real problems were substituted for, to slightly paraphrase Alex Hochuli, “mediatised representations of someone else’s problems”. We sadly had a late resched...

Immigration has endured as a prevailing news topic, but it is a fixture of modern society in the neoliberal era; the future will be one of exile brought on by state violence and the plundering of our natural resources to sate capitalist greed.

That film, and its vastly inferior sequel, depicted clandestine paramilitary operations that go beyond usual police measures used by the US government agencies against the Mexican drug cartels in the border region. In the real world, the American state has accelerated the para-militarisation of the war against the drug cartels. Earlier this year, Trump ordered the State Department to declare the La...

Two years after October 7, public outrage against Israel is widespread, yet the US grassroots movement in solidarity with Palestine is nowhere near as powerful as it needs to be. While Trump’s ceasefire plan might provide relief from Israel’s genocidal onslaught, Gaza has been decimated, and the proposed deal would codify a vastly deteriorated situation for millions of Palestinians. To discuss how American organizers might more effectively fight to support Palestinians’ rights to freedom and self-determination, I spoke with Bashir Abu-Manneh, who is writing a book provisionally entitled Disposable Palestinians, and Hod...

THIS IS REVOLUTION ＞podcast EP. 802: TERMS OF SERVITUDE: ZIONISM AND DIGITAL SETTLER COLONIALISM ft. OMAR ZAHZAH Get Omar's book here: https://a.co/d/iH1wxz4 Terms of Servitude explores the paradox whereby prominent digital platforms like Meta, Google, and X that initially facilitated the expression of activism and advocacy for Palestinian liberation have come to fortify Zionist settler-colonialism. Through anti-Palestinian censorship and erasure often justified by so-called “terms of service” or “community standards” violations, these Big Tech companies provide the Israeli occupation forces with AI technology and metadata used to streamline genocidal colonial violence against Palestinians.

THIS IS REVOLUTION ＞podcast POP LIFE EP. 57: WHAT THE HELL IS ART CORE? ft. SWING KIDS LISTEN TO SWING KIDS HERE: https://swingkids.bandcamp.com/ San Diego, like its northern cousin Seattle, has always existed on the periphery of mainstream cultural circuits—too geographically isolated for major label attention, yet fertile ground for subcultural innovation.
