In Defense of Liberation

In Defense of Liberation is a conscientizing program meant to help folks organize around liberation for ALL peoples through political education, experience, stories, histories - failed, and successful - and through active struggle TODAY! We are here to grow, build, learn, make mistakes, correct them, and learn some more - because we want an END to Settler-Colonialism, Imperialism, and oppression, everywhere. No one can struggle alone. This podcast is only an interjection into the conversation, not the end all be all. Join us in fighting for a new world, an end to this society: Revolution!

My LAST (for now) Morning Commute 3-8-22: Happy Women’s Liberation Day! Saying goodbye, for Now!

This is going to be my last podcast for a while! I recently began my candidacy for the PSL. I am going to take this time to learn, to organize, to experience, and to try to bill not only myself and my own understanding but also a movement. We must build a socialist revolution if we believe that any of the issues facing the masses today will ever be resolved. No war, no form of capitalism, no imperialism, no empire can or ever will be able to overcome these issues. It is only the people-the masses themselves- that will be able to eradicate exploitation and oppression from this world. It has been awesome getting to know many of you. Please feel free to reach out! In Defense of Liberation on all social media platforms and indefenseofliberation@gmail.com ! Thank you for everything. Now go organize!!!

Happy Women’s Liberation Month, Stand with the Sudanese People, Denounce + Defund NATO, and More!

What’s going on folks? So this episode is quite a hodgepodge of many different subjects. We begin with a discussion about women’s liberation month, and we make our way into discussion of the ongoing resistance movement in Sudan. Then we talk about the issues facing people of Palestine, Nepal, Yemen, and plenty of places across the world while the US empire is hyper focused on condemning Russia, they continue to fund, arm, train, and allow for the Saudi Arabian, UAE, Israeli, and other regimes to oppress and exploit people every day. We must build a mass movement to end all forms of oppression, today. Long live revolution!
