Are Chicanos Revolutionary?  Are Chicanos Radical?  Some ask... What happened to Chicanos? What happened to the activism of El Movimiento?  Why have we taken a step back?  Chicanos have advocated for social and political empowerment of Los Pueblos aqui in El Southwest Estados Unidos for a National Voice & Identity throughout the 20th century, but what about now?   It's about to be that time again....  Power structures such as Capitalism have been taking advantage of Chicanos for way too long.  Capitalism is the toolbox of White Supremacy.  Hegemony within the U.S. society Indoctrinates and re-educates our youth in a way that maintains power over our minds.  How do they Cripple Chicano values?  How do they cripple family?  They don't... We do it to ourselves!  We believe Neo-liberalism and Cash is God.  We bite the apple and drink the poison of Humanity.  Money is the material root of all evil.  Definitively without question BY and LARGE Capitalism destabilizes our momentum as people within society as a whole because it sucks the lifeblood from the masses to insatiate a few at the top.  The U.S. metrics are simple to see within the scope of inequality, poverty, homelessness, imprisoned, welfare recipients and many other have nots.  Many Chicanos come from strong families and its evident the media's attack on our children cannot be denied through propaganda or by the prison Industrial complex.  Inhibiting our movement and our future leaders from ever gaining full potential is how they deny us progress on our own homelands.  We have long been educated to be slaves in a system that traps our world view @birth. Systematic controls such as the Police, Cointelpro, CIA, FBI, DEA and any other federal agencies deployed are weapons against us perpetuating and fueling violence against Chicanos anytime we organize for change.... such as the murder of Ruben Salazar & many other movements such as the Black Panthers or Malcolm X & Martin Luther King.  These murder plots are all in the interest of Capitalism and its need to be led by a White Power Structure.  Re-organizing our intellectual intelligence in various National Chicano Parties throughout Anahuac is essential.  Exploring & rewriting our destiny starts by talking about organizing a revolution not only for our future but also creating a system that cannot be broken no matter who they kill or lock up (Red Dragon Rising).  This conversation is not only about the way we walk, but it's also about the way we talk, think, live, eat, act and assemble.  Resonating and recognizing our roots as people of the land with Indigenous bloodlines descending from all 1st nations making Turtle Island Sovereign again.  We stand in solidarity with all brothers and sisters that stand against White power.  Sovereignty on occupied land makes everything political.  As Chicanos we reside in the Belly of the Beast rather inside the U.S. system of land occupation.  CHOCAST is proud to bring you a collaboration with the Chicano Podcast, Pelon aka Steve Garcia and two guest speakers: IGNACIO DE LA SOL y Comrade GIRU to discuss Idealogies, Nationalism and party politics within the framework of our current systems and Revolutionary thinking within the scope of Socialism and Communism.  We will also be discussing the current disparities created by Capitalism and how its material conditions relate to our struggle. Does disconnecting from the Colonial Empire release trauma for the Indigenous?  Can we harness or source power and liberation by moving back to a time when Raza's path was the Red Road? What happened to our application of love and desire to serve? What happened to Living selfless within Integrity?  We will go over concepts from Marx and his practitioners. We will visit Dialectical materialism & how being complicit paralyzes our Liberation. If Capitalism isn't freedom for everyone how can it be freedom at all?
