Anti-Imperialist Network Podcast

En este episodio especial y colaborativo de Radio Resistencia y The Unequal Exchange Podcast, la presentadora Isa Villalón, del Comité de Solidaridad con América Latina del Anti-imperialist Network, conversa con un panel de militantes venezolanos y panameños para analizar la reciente escalada de agresión estadounidense en la región.Desde Caracas, escuchamos a Carlos Castro, militante de la Unión Comunera y del Frente Cultural de Izquierda, así como director de la Comuna Agroturística Produciendo en Revolución (Escuela Suma Qamaña). Con él abordamos los ataques imperialistas yanquis perpetrados contra el pueblo venezolano en la madrugada del 3 de enero, así como la resistencia, la organización y la resiliencia revolucionaria del pueblo venezolano frente a estas agresiones.Desde la Ciudad de Panamá, nos acompañan Daniel Santana y Ahmed Wynter, militantes de las Juventudes Revolucionarias 16 de agosto, quienes nos ayudan a contextualizar las repercusiones de largo alcance que tiene esta agresión para toda la región latinoamericana. Además, revisamos la invasión estadounidense de Panamá de 1989, trazando paralelismos históricos por sus sorprendentes similitudes con los ataques del 3 de enero contra Venezuela.Actualmente, la Red Antiimperialista está recaudando fondos para la Escuela Agroecológica Suma Qamaña, una iniciativa comunera liderada por Carlos Castro que busca promover la soberanía alimentaria y prácticas de cultivo agroecológicas en el estado Miranda, Venezuela.

Interview conducted by Isa Villalón. The Committee of Peasant Development, CODECA (Comité de Desarrollo Campesino) was founded in Guatemala in 1992 within the context of the Central America Peace Accords and the rise of neoliberal accumulation. CODECA organizes to resist the deepening onslaught of extractivist imperial plunder driven by those developments, which has opened the door to new forms of violent dispossession and exploitation. CODECA has been instrumental in organizing grassroots resistance and agitating for popular political education. Their struggle for anti-capitalist, systemic changes includes agrarian reform, justice for historical crimes committed during the US backed 36-year-long internal conflict and genocide, resistance to resource privatization and land concentration by the national oligarchy and transnational corporations, and the promotion of a vision for a Plurinational State. With 29 movement leaders assassinated since 2018 and hundreds more incarcerated, threatened and assaulted, the organization faces intense political persecution in the country. The following interview was conducted during the Global Antifascist Student and Youth Conference held in Caracas, Venezuela in November 2025. Isa Villalón from the Latin American Solidarity Committee spoke with three youth leaders for the organization, each representing CODECA’s struggle in different national territories: Jutiapa, Suchitepéquez, and the urban hub of Guatemala City. ---Follow AIN: Our website — https://anti-imperialist.net/Our current fundraising campaigns — https://givebutter.com/southbound-initiativeInstagram — https://www.instagram.com/antiimperialistnetwork/Spotify — https://open.spotify.com/show/6GTgPtZ8etV1jnDFO6JsJfGet involved — https://anti-imperialist.net/join/

The Global South countries face extremely unfair trade when engaging with the Global North, because the West charges high prices for their products and the rest of the world is left with low remuneration due to their low wages. This creates an unequal exchange and low terms of trade for the Global South. This situation has attempted to be reversed by many proposals from the Non-Aligned Movement and New International Economic Order, but one unique solution has been proposed by Arghiri Emmanuel: a tax on exports. This could bring the equilibrium price of the Global South's products up, and lower the costs for their products. It's a solution worth exploring to address the inequality the Global South faces.

Here, we offer an audio reading of Arghiri Emmanuel's Preface to "Unequal Exchange and the Prospects of Socialism", by the Manifest-Communist Working Group of Denmark (Manifest–Kommunistisk Arbejdsgruppe) from 1986. Emmanuel discusses his perspective on the prospects of a proletarian revolution in the age of the labor aristocracy.
