Full Audio of YT Livestream: This livestream collaboration with Lara Sheehi and Psychic Militancy discusses an important document "Toward a Revolutionary Charter for Comprehensive Liberation" released recently that takes an adamant and uncompromising critique of contemporary Arab intelligentsias and calls for a radical realignment against colonial knowledges and with the masses. This is a critical juncture in West Asia; the convulsions of the Gaza genocide, the war on Iran, and the reshaping of its political boundaries, economies and societies in violent colonial war and resistance demand that all social groupings and classes address themselves to revolutionary anticolonial struggle. Lara and I speak with one of the authors of this radical manifesto, Dr. Ghassan Abu Sittah, the famous Palestinian surgeon, academic, activist, and Rector of Glasgow University in Scotland. We'll take up the questions of why "pessimism of the intellect" has not been accompanied by "optimist of the will" among the intellectual classes, the manifestations of "defeatist" and comprador thought, and how to revive the courageous role of intellectuals organically in the people's struggle as a resource for liberation. Centered on the question of Palestine but addressed to the wider Arab peoples confronting Zionism, colonialism, and imperialism, the conversation will explore the document's six key principles and concepts like rooted knowledge, intellectual sovereignty, democratizing knowledge and how ideology can be turned into a material force for liberation. This was a fascinating discussion! Join us.

In this collaborative livestream with Resistance is Fertile's Benji Schoendorff, we continue a discussion with Dr. Radhika Desai who brings "geopolitical economic" analysis to the contemporary world system and in particular how global events, especially the Ramadan War, herald an end to Western imperialism as a form of world order. We'll discuss how Iran and its allies, the Axis of Resistance, and partners from BRICS and the SCO, China and Russia, are reorienting the "multipolar" world and in what ways. We'll explore the financial, economic, geopolitical, social, and historical conditions. This will be a fascinating opportunity to learn from a leading scholar of geopolitics and economy and imperialism today and historically.

This is a collaborative episode with Delete Ur Account podcast hosted by Kumars Salehi. He has graciously let us post the episode with guest Navid Zarinnal, previously on the program for the episode "Iran under Siege". Here is the Delete Your Account write up:
This week's episode is a collaboration with The Colony Archive and The Adnan Husain Show. As Roqayah continues to report from the front lines of Israel's assault on south Lebanon, Kumars is joined by returning guest Navid Zarrinnal and debutante Adnan Husain. 
The gang discusses President Masoud Pezeskhian's letter to Americans, Javad Zarif's ceasefire proposal in Foreign Affairs, the Iranian government's response to the mass displacement caused by US-Israeli bombing, the history of Western opposition to Iranian development, relations between the Islamic Republics of Iran and Pakistan, whether the war will ultimately push the Gulf states out of the imperialist orbit, and what it could mean for Iran to become a global power.
You can find Navid's courageous reporting and insightful analysis for The Colony Archive on Instagram and subscribe to The Adnan Husain Show on YouTube for all of your politically Shi'i needs.
