Episode 10: Combat Liberalism- Decolonization, Settler Colonialism, and the Pitfalls of the Western Left

On this episode Silvia and Geraldo discuss and critique Tuck and Yang’s “Decolonization is Not a Metaphor” and how organizations on the western left incorrectly define settler colonialism. This episode dives into the importance of reading theory, what it means to be a settler, and the importance of struggling towards land back for indigenous people and the Republic of New Afrika.  Readings/Podcasts Mentioned: * Decolonization is Not a Metaphor [https://clas.osu.edu/sites/clas.osu.edu/files/Tuck%20and%20Yang%202012%20Decolonization%20is%20not%20a%20metaphor.pdf] * JDPOD Episode [https://open.spotify.com/episode/3i91NQYP877vWdC1KP6Dzv?si=rsf7Smz8TeGuomTVpU40qQ] * The Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon [https://monoskop.org/images/6/6b/Fanon_Frantz_The_Wretched_of_the_Earth_1963.pdf] * Meditations on Frantz Fanon's Wretched of the Earth⁠ [https://drive.google.com/open?id=13kBMQuC75qPBlgODh6ksF6IBMTUxhuwf] * A Dying Colonialism by Frantz Fanon [https://abahlali.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Frantz-Fanon-A-Dying-Colonialism.pdf] * Settlers by J.

Episode 7: Combat Liberalism: Iran, Venezuela, and ICE

On this episode of our Combat Liberalism series we are joined by Silvia, Dob, Geraldo, and Rafiq to discuss Venezuela, Iran, and ICE. We explore how the so-called united states imperialist aims across the world and the reaction of the “left” towards the most recent events in Iran and Venezuela. 2026 set the tone with the kidnapping of Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro as well as with the recent attempts to destabilize the Islamic Republic of Iran.
