ORIGINALLY RELEASED Feb 4, 2023 In this episode of Guerrilla History [https://guerrillahistory.libsyn.com/], we unpack Gerald Horne’s explosive and essential work The Counter-Revolution of 1836: Texas Slavery & Jim Crow and the Roots of U.S. Fascism. Horne dismantles the romanticized mythology of Texas independence, revealing it instead as a pro-slavery revolt against Mexico’s abolitionist policies. We trace how white settler colonialism, racial capitalism, and the violent defense of human bondage shaped the formation of Texas—and, more broadly, the reactionary trajectory of U.S. history. This episode challenges the lies we were taught, connecting the dots between the foundation of Texas, the rise of Jim Crow, and the enduring roots of American fascism. A must-listen for anyone serious about confronting the true history of empire. ---------------------------------------------------- Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio [https://www.patreon.com/revleftradio] Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio [https://buymeacoffee.com/revleftradio] Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio HERE [https://revleftradio.com/]

Nicholas Richard-Thompson and Tunde Osazua from the Black Alliance for Peace [https://blackallianceforpeace.com/] join Breht to examine the life and legacy of Kwame Nkrumah—anti-colonial revolutionary, Pan-African visionary, and the first president of an independent Ghana. From leading the charge against British colonial rule to his bold attempts to unify the African continent under a socialist banner, Nkrumah’s story is one of profound courage, political brilliance, and unfinished dreams. We explore his writings, his revolutionary vision for a liberated and united Africa, and the forces—both foreign and domestic—that sought to dismantle his project. Nkrumah’s legacy still burns in the hearts of those fighting imperialism today, and this episode brings his voice back to the forefront of revolutionary memory.   Learn more and support Black Alliance for Peace  [https://linktr.ee/blackallianceforpeace]   Follow Nicholas on Twitter  [https://twitter.com/Nicholasseanrt]   Follow Tunde on Twitter [https://twitter.com/TundeOsazua]   BAP Chicago's Twitter [https://twitter.com/bap_chicago]   ---------------------------------------------------- Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio [https://www.patreon.com/revleftradio] Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio [https://buymeacoffee.com/revleftradio] Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio HERE [https://revleftradio.com/] Outro Beat Prod. by flip da hood [https://www.youtube.com/@flipaynahood]

ORIGINALLY RELEASED Jul 25, 2019 In this episode, Alyson and Breht dive into Mao Zedong’s seminal text On Contradiction—a cornerstone of Marxist philosophy and revolutionary praxis. Written in the heat of anti-imperialist struggle, Mao develops a distinctly materialist theory of dialectics rooted in motion, contradiction, and transformation. We explore his concepts of principal and secondary contradictions, the universality of contradiction, and how this framework guided revolutionary strategy in China and beyond. Whether you’re steeped in Marxist theory or new to dialectical thinking, this episode unpacks one of the most influential philosophical works of the 20th century with clarity, depth, and revolutionary urgency. ---------------------------------------------------- Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio [https://www.patreon.com/revleftradio] Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio [https://buymeacoffee.com/revleftradio] Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio HERE [https://revleftradio.com/]
