Episode 194: "Smashing the Surveillance State" ft. Chris Robé

This week, I sat down with some of the organizers behind Dual Power Gathering Midwest to discuss the weekend long event, the concept of dual power, building solidarity, and sharing knowledge with each other as we develop our greater movement affinity. Dual Power Gathering Midwest 2023 will take place in the traditional homelands of the Miami, Potawatomi, and Kickapoo, about thirty minutes south of downtown Chicago. A follow-up to the Dual Power Gathering at Indiana Dunes in 2022, this event is a regionally-focused attempt to bring folks together from across the Midwest to meet, spend time together, and discuss dual power strategies for the struggles of today and tomorrow.

David Campbell

Michael Löwy

This week, I sat down with Michael Löwy and David Campbell to talk about the book Michael co-wrote and David recently translated into English, Revolutionary Affinities: Toward a Marxist Anarchist Solidarity. The three of us got into a lovely dialogue about the recent uprisings in France against the neoliberal Macron regime, as well as the painstaking labor David undertook of translating this book into English by hand. Then, we dive into the book and talk about the principled points of solidarity and the potential areas of conflict between Anarchists and Marxists before contemplating what these struggles mean for today.

Episode 41: "Should I Kill Myself or Have a Cup of Coffee?" ft. Rev Left Radio & Black Banner Magic

In this one-year anniversary episode of Coffee with Comrades, Pearson and Mel get retrospective and introspective. After looking back at 50 episodes of the program, Pearson and Mel dive into a discussion of new media and the left. But, first, some current events!  Bombshell report reveals extent of  Judicial Corruption in Brazil. Hong Kong  mobilizes against extradition bill. Scott Warren’s  prosection ends in mistrial.  This week might just be the most polemic episode of Coffee with Comrades yet! After talking about social media under a capitalist mode of economics, Pearson and Mel diagnose some of the problems with new media on the left (and with podcasts, in particular.) Afterward, Pearson and Mel outline a number of practical, material solutions to these dilemmas that can begin to build revolutionary infrastructure right here, right now. In short, “Fuck theory, do shit!”  Our zine,  Insurrectionary Jubilee, is now available. Please distribute it widely!  As per usual, stick around ‘til the very end of the episode for some goofy-ass bloopers.  Support Coffee with Comrades on Patreon, follow us on Twitter, and visit our website.

Episode 65: "The Revolt of the Guards"

Clifton Hicks

On this week’s edition of Coffee with Comrades, we sit down with folk musician Clifton Hicks. But, first up, some current events:  Erik Prince used the rise of Trump to make an  improbable comeback. Unicorn Riot has exposed a  network of Neo-Nazis in the US military. Homeland security used a private intelligence firm to  monitor family separation protests. No More Deaths activists are  once more on trial. A UK activist  served a milkshake to a fascist.  We begin our month of media analysis by hosting an interview with Clifton Hicks, a folk musician from Tennessee. In this episode, we chat about the anti-war movement, conscientious objection, building banjos, and the history of folk music.

Episode 57: "Look for New Weapons"

In Pt. I of our 2-part Coffee with Comrades special on climate change and food autonomy, we spend the hour hanging out with Kevin and Jordyn Zak of Open Source Farms. But, first, some news:  As climate change continues to cause devastating flooding in the midwest, Trump is  pushing through authorization for new oil pipelines.   Mexico Beach, FL residents are trying to  fight off disaster capitalism. Donate to Mutual Aid Disaster Relief! FL is  poised to implement an “anti-Human Trafficking” law. FL sex workers  demand decriminalization. A  leaked report labels antifascists as the  “real aggressors.” The owner of Wendy’s gives big to Trump, but  refuses to pay farm-workers an additional cent per tomato.  Our wide-ranging conversation with Kevin and Jordyn digs into Open Source Farms, Turnip Greens Radio, food autonomy, building dual-power, anthropogenic climate change, and how agriculture can help us build our resiliency in the fight against fascism.

Episode 66: "Blue Milk with Buddies" ft. Kino Lefter

This week, Eamon of the Radical People podcast joins us for the first half of a two-part series on COVID-19. We spend the first part of the discussion setting up the current state of affairs: where we’re at presently, what the bourgeois response has been, and how ecofascists and reactionaries are using this crisis to foment nativist strains of racism.  But, it’s not all bleak. Eamon offers a lot of insight into the crisis of late-stage capitalism from an ecological perspective and provides an invaluable lens we can use to assess the catastrophe of COVID-19 and move forward to a more liberatory future. Be sure to check back next week for part-two of our conversation.  We encourage you to  get involved in Mutual Aid organizing in your neck-of-the-woods. Check out this  round-up of mutual aid organizations all across the so-called United States.  Resources:   Ventilator shortages  expose the cruelty of neoliberal capitalism  Democrats  roll over for the Trump Administration’s “stimulus package”  Leaked documents expose how  Amazon tried to frame warehouse strike organizer  Neo-Nazis  plot to bomb hospital amidst COVID-19 crisis  White supremacists  plan to cough on Jews if they contract COVID-19   Mutual aid activity explodes across the so-called U.S.  Organize a Rent Strike with these resources from IGD and  CrimethInc. and Rebel Steps Expected 32% of U.S. workforce will be  out of a job  Coronavirus is a labor crisis: will a  general strike follow?   Follow &amp; Support:   Follow Radical People on Twitter and donate to their Patreon.  Support Coffee with Comrades on Patreon, follow us on Twitter and Instagram, and visit our website.

Episode 80: "The Virus is the Profit Motive" ft. Radical People

Danny Haiphong

Hey, y'all! This week, we weren't able to record a current events segment, but we did wanna share one urgent bit of news with you. The Trump Admininstration announced it would be  officially pulling U.S. troops out of North Eastern Syria, essentially green-lighting the invasion of territory held by  Rojava's revolutionaries. Pearson shares the SDF general command's statement on the matter and urges international solidarity demonstrations. Danny Haiphong joins us for the hour to chat about the book he co-authored, American Exceptionalism and American Innocence: A People’s History of Fake News—From the Revolutionary War to the War on Terror. We critique about U.S. imperialism and discuss the ways the U.S. asserts its innocence even as it manipulates and exploits geopolitics. - Pick up a copy of  American Exceptionalism and American Innocence! - Follow Danny on Twitter. - Check out Black Agenda Report online.

Episode 58: "An Exceptional Lack of Innocence" ft. Danny Haiphong

In this week’s episode of Coffee with Comrades, we are pleased to welcome for the very first time the one and only Mel, our new co-conspirator and co-host for the show. We’ve got a jam-packed episode for y’all, but before we get there, we’re excited to announce we’re bringing back the current events section at the top of the episode.  Diane Feinstein is an  asshole. A Coast Guard Lieutenant and self-proclaimed white nationalist  planned a terrorist attack against the DSA and others. 4 more No More Deaths activists had their  criminal charges dropped.  Mel and Pearson share a critical reflection on the Midwest Left Assembly, a regional conference that brought together organizers, educators, and revolutionaries from across the midwest for a weekend camping conference. We talk about base-building, regional networking, and how to build authentic solidarity with our comrades. Above all, we wrestle with how to overcome the loneliness and isolation endemic to late-stage capitalism by reclaiming intimacy through revolutionary vulnerability.
