This Wreckage

Around the world and back again, episode 100 of the Antifada! And what better circumstances under which to record an release than the largest national uprising in several generations?

Jamie, Sean and Andy analyze the revolt that has arisen since the police murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis: the connection between the carceral state and crisis; the racial caste system that divides us and benefits the rich; the reaction on the streets of Minneapolis; the meaning of abolition; and what to make of America in the age of riots. Tune in for our on the ground account of what's been happening on the streets of NYC.

Intro - Assault on Precinct 13 Title Theme

Outro - Afrika Bambaataa & Family - Bambaataa's Theme

Special bonus Q&A episode for patrons later this week - ww.patreon.com/theantifada

Recorded before things really popped off last week, Sean was joined by returning champion Andy Battle and co-host of Ironweeds podcast, David A Banks.

We hope this wide ranging discussion of capitalist space, de/unionization, de/industrialization, supply chains, gentrification, uneven development and class struggle will be an oasis of calm as you righteously take the streets where you are and then [REDACTED].

Outro - Bruce Springsteen: Hungry Heart

We Twitch-streamed Friday afternoon to discuss the events Thursday night in Minneapolis with Ghetto News Network's Cole Cash, Leslie Lee III of Struggle Session, and Rob Rousseau of 49th Parahell. We talked everything from the political economic origins of the protests, Cointelpro, white supremacy and interracial struggle, and if revolution is on the way.

We cut this into a podcast to spare our Patrons the boomer-level audio/and video quality, available here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/37701668

Winnie Wong (@WaywardWinifred), former Senior Advisor to the Bernie Sanders campaign, stops by to talk anarchism, electoralism, & why Bernie didn't win. :( The gang also reminisces about New York nightlife (s/o Andrew WK) and Winnie tries to talk Jamie into running for office.
