   SPECIAL: The Long Sixties - Black Power, Third World Solidarity, & Into the Underground (1960-1971)

   This special explores revolutionary movements during "the long 1960s" in Amerikkka. We trace the development of two revolutionary traditions: an anti-imperialist third worldist solidarity tradition alongside a party-building revolutionary model for achieving revolution. We examine key organizations including SNCC, RAM, the Black Panther Party, SDS, and the Weather Underground, alongside influential figures like Robert F. Williams, Muhammad Ahmad (Max Stanford), Malcolm X, and Kwame Ture. We analyze how these organizations responded to global events like the Bandung Conference, the Cuban Revolution, and independence movements across Africa and Asia. This is the first in a series exploring revolutionary history in Amerikkka.

   Critique of Documentary, "The Encampments" (ft. an outside agitator with Unity of Fields)

   In this episode, we sit down with an outside agitator with Unity of Fields who was involved in the Columbian encampments and the occupation of Hinds Hall, to review the 2025 documentary, 'The Encampments' produced by Watermelon Pictures. As more and more encampments are doing screenings of the documentary, we feel that it’s important to provide some much needed criticisms that have not been engaged from the complete erasure of the Palestinian resistance to its erasure of US-led imperialism, this is a misleading film of a subject without a predicate.

   In our inaugural episode with a guest, we are pleased to invite Max Ajl to speak about Syria. This is a two part interview. Part one is a historical materialist primer on Syria, the groundwork you need to be able to understand the present moment. Part two will be helping us understand recent developments and de-developments.
