EPISODE CHAPTERS

00:00 Intro

In this episode, we explore the life, background, and work of Kuwasi Balagoon, new Afrikan Anarchist and Black Liberation Army member.

Balagoon's philosophy of Black maroonage takes center stage as we explore his radical vision for liberation. This concept challenges conventional notions of resistance by advocating for the creation of autonomous Black communities free from the shackles of systemic oppression. We dissect the nuances of this ideology and its implications for contemporary struggles against racial injustice.

Furthermore, we delve into Balagoon's unwavering commitment to critical resistance in the face of state repression. His fearless activism and dedication to challenging oppressive power structures serve as an inspiration for generations of activists striving for social change. Through his writings, actions, and advocacy, Balagoon leaves a lasting legacy of resilience and defiance against injustice.

Since April 15 when yet another global strike occurred, globally and supportive Palestine, student organizers, and faculty members all around the United States, and the world have been forming encampments to stand in solidarity, with Palestinians currently resisting Israeli occupation and genocide.

What do these encampments tell us about our political development and our sense of solidarity? What are the takeaways from these movements? And what do college campuses have to show the masses when it comes to Palestine and protest tactics?

In this episode, we dig into these questions and more and some local news on what is happening in Columbus, Ohio at Ohio State University, and Palestine.

In part two of our mini-episode on Assata Shakur, we dive into her iconic autobiography by reading key passages that capture her journey to becoming a revolutionary. Through her wit and candor, Assata shares the experiences that shaped her activism, offering a powerful reflection on the rise and fall of Black and White revolutionary groups targeted by government oppression.

About the Book:

Assata Shakur’s autobiography stands alongside The Autobiography of Malcolm X and the works of Maya Angelou as essential literature about the Black experience in America. Her story highlights the struggles of growing up Black in the U.S., the fight for liberation, and the government’s role in dismantling revolutionary movements.

In this mini-episode, we delve into the captivating life and enduring legacy of Assata Shakur, a revolutionary icon whose influence reverberates through Black anarchist circles today. From her early activism to her dramatic escape from prison and subsequent asylum in Cuba, Assata's story is one of unwavering defiance against systemic oppression.

Join us as we navigate through the chapters of Assata's biography, exploring her pivotal role in the Black Power movement and her unyielding commitment to revolutionary expropriation. We'll examine how COINTELPRO, the covert FBI program, sought to dismantle the Black Panther Party and silence dissenting voices like Assata's, shedding light on the broader context of state repression faced by activists of the era.

Moreover, we'll delve into the intersectionality of Assata's activism, examining the significance of gendered radical literature within the Black Power movement and its impact on revolutionary trajectories. Through her writings and actions, Assata challenged not only racial oppression but also patriarchal structures, paving the way for a more inclusive and intersectional approach to liberation.
