A World on Fire

As France heads into a general strike and Spain and Portugal mobilise over housing, Khaled Malachi and Fiona Lali track the wave of struggle sweeping the continent, from France, Spain, Germany and Italy to Albania, Serbia and Belgium. On 20 November, young people across Europe strike against militarism. But where is the drive for war really coming from? And how do young people fight back?______________________________________________________________________💬Send us a message on Signal: https://signal.me/#eu/r8dB8hkhKk1-M_UNj8tT4rs7R5MCAHcpiENZ71oQ9ibChCbrXpZMqYkdR7uTjxgK👍Follow us on social media: https://www.instagram.com/aworldonfirepod/https://www.instagram.com/revolutionarycommunists/https://www.tiktok.com/@thecommunists✊ ⁠⁠⁠ Join the Revolutionary Communist Party⁠⁠⁠: ⁠https://communist.red/join⁠📰 ⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to The Communist and In Defence Of Marxism⁠⁠⁠: ⁠https://communist.red/subscribe⁠💸 ⁠⁠⁠ Donate to the RCP⁠⁠⁠: ⁠https://communist.red/donate⁠🌍 Read the latest international news and analysis from the RCI⁠: ⁠https://marxist.com

Europe is catching fire. In France, Barricades have been thrown up, with street battles taking place with the police; in Spain, the main squares have been occupied, half a million people have been on the streets, forcing through a general strike; and anger against militarism is sweeping across Europe. With all the same inflammable material existing here in Britain. We ask will Britain be next? _____________________________________________________________💬Send us a message on Signal: https://signal.me/#eu/r8dB8hkhKk1-M_UNj8tT4rs7R5MCAHcpiENZ71oQ9ibChCbrXpZMqYkdR7uTjxgK👍Follow us on social media: https://www.instagram.com/aworldonfirepod/https://www.instagram.com/revolutionarycommunists/https://www.tiktok.com/@thecommunists✊ ⁠⁠⁠ Join the Revolutionary Communist Party⁠⁠⁠: ⁠https://communist.red/join⁠📰 ⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to The Communist and In Defence Of Marxism⁠⁠⁠: ⁠https://communist.red/subscribe⁠💸 ⁠⁠⁠ Donate to the RCP⁠⁠⁠: ⁠https://communist.red/donate⁠🌍 Read the latest international news and analysis from the RCI⁠: ⁠https://marxist.com

Artificial intelligence has forced its way into our lives, bringing a wave of anxiety, soaring energy costs, climate destruction , job insecurity, and dystopian military applications. But are we actually doomed, or is the real problem not the technology itself, but the billionaires and profit-driven systems controlling it?In this episode we dive deep into the AI boom, data centres, the arms race, and why so many young people are feeling a sense of doom. We also explore whether AI actually holds real potential for humanity from solving the climate crisis to freeing us from the drudgery of work and what would be needed to truly unlock it outside of the profit motive.💬Send us a message on Signal: https://signal.me/#eu/r8dB8hkhKk1-M_UNj8tT4rs7R5MCAHcpiENZ71oQ9ibChCbrXpZMqYkdR7uTjxgK👍Follow us on social media: https://www.instagram.com/aworldonfirepod/https://www.instagram.com/revolutionarycommunists/https://www.tiktok.com/@thecommunists✊ ⁠⁠⁠ Join the Revolutionary Communist Party⁠⁠⁠: ⁠https://communist.red/join⁠📰 ⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to The Communist and In Defence Of Marxism⁠⁠⁠: ⁠https://communist.red/subscribe⁠💸 ⁠⁠⁠ Donate to the RCP⁠⁠⁠: ⁠https://communist.red/donate⁠🌍 Read the latest international news and analysis from the RCI⁠: ⁠https://marxist.com

In light of Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband's "harsh" words for Israel this week, we ask: Why this seeming about-turn from Labour? What makes them feel they can make such statements, call extremist settlers terrorists, and impose sanctions on these settlements?Our job as communists is not to be impressionistic or to be overawed by so-called changes in policy, but to point out the real interests underneath.What lies at the heart of this policy "change" is an orchestrated attempt by Labour to try and win back support from those disgusted by Starmer's policy in the wake of October 7, while also attempting to show that British imperialism still toes the line of US foreign policy and supports the Israeli state.When those who oppose Zionism are STILL routinely labeled antisemitic, what has really changed?Therefore, the fight is not over for a free Palestine, so join us at the national demonstration for Palestine on October 10 in London. We will be running coaches from: Cambridge, Brighton, Norwich, Bristol, Cardiff, Manchester, Brum, Leeds, Sheffield, Oxford ,ReadingFollow our socials for more details to come! _____________________________________________________________💬Send us a message on Signal: https://signal.me/#eu/r8dB8hkhKk1-M_UNj8tT4rs7R5MCAHcpiENZ71oQ9ibChCbrXpZMqYkdR7uTjxgK👍Follow us on social media: https://www.instagram.com/aworldonfirepod/https://www.instagram.com/revolutionarycommunists/https://www.tiktok.com/@thecommunists✊ ⁠⁠⁠ Join the Revolutionary Communist Party⁠⁠⁠: ⁠https://communist.red/join⁠📰 ⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to The Communist and In Defence Of Marxism⁠⁠⁠: ⁠https://communist.red/subscribe⁠💸 ⁠⁠⁠ Donate to the RCP⁠⁠⁠: ⁠https://communist.red/donate⁠🌍 Read the latest international news and analysis from the RCI⁠: ⁠https://marxist.com

We started this podcast a year ago and said in our first ever introduction: it’s time to get real and get revolutionary. Demanding the whole earth and striving for the "impossible" is the only realistic way forward for young people today.In this episode, we cover the Gen-Z revolts that took place this summer, why communism isn't utopian, how the left has failed to capitalise on young people's anger, and what we intend to build instead.______________________________________________________________________💬Send us a message on Signal: https://signal.me/#eu/r8dB8hkhKk1-M_UNj8tT4rs7R5MCAHcpiENZ71oQ9ibChCbrXpZMqYkdR7uTjxgK👍Follow us on social media: https://www.instagram.com/aworldonfirepod/https://www.instagram.com/revolutionarycommunists/https://www.tiktok.com/@thecommunists✊ ⁠⁠⁠ Join the Revolutionary Communist Party⁠⁠⁠: ⁠https://communist.red/join⁠📰 ⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to The Communist and In Defence Of Marxism⁠⁠⁠: ⁠https://communist.red/subscribe⁠💸 ⁠⁠⁠ Donate to the RCP⁠⁠⁠: ⁠https://communist.red/donate⁠🌍 Read the latest international news and analysis from the RCI⁠: ⁠https://marxist.com
