“Direct Democracy Throughout Human History”

"Direct Democracy Throughout Human History | Another Carolina Anarchist Bookfair Session, Saturday Aug 12, 4:30pm @ Public Library" featuring a photo of Dr. Kadalie and the bookcover of his recent "Intimate Direct Democracy"

This week on the show, we’ll be sharing a shared presentation by Dr. Modibo Kadalie recorded at the 2023 Another Carolina Anarchist Bookfair in so-called Asheville. Modibo is joined by his friend Andrew Zonneveld of On Our Own Authority Books and they share a new bookstore and community space in Stone Mountain, Georgia, known as Community Books.

From the presentation description:

“A scholar-activist with over 60 years of experience in the Civil Rights, Black Power, Pan-African, and Social Ecology movements will discuss the role of critical historiography in the study and documentation of directly democratic communities across human history. Modibo Kadalie’s presentation will touch on ideas discussed in his two most recent books, Pan-African Social Ecology and Intimate Direct Democracy. Dr. Kadalie will also discuss his upcoming book, tentatively titled State Creep: A Critical Historiography.”

If you care to hear a longer version including a segment by Sean Swain and an interview with Josh Davidson and Sara Falconer of Certain Days: Freedom For Political Prisoners Calendar, check out the podcast at our website.

Reflections of an Anti-Zionist Jew from Palestine + Antifascists Repressed in Budapest

Reflections of an Anti-Zionist Jew from Palestine

This episode features two main segments. To hear a little more content, a quick announcement by the ItsGoingDown podcast and Sean Swain’s commentary on the war in Palestine, check out our podcast available here.

Reflections of an Jewish Anti-Zionist from Palestine

First up, we’re featuring the voice of an anti-Zionist Jewish anarchist living in lands occupied by the Israeli state. We speak about some of his experiences of trying to resist the ongoing war against Palestinians, collaboration with Palestinian comrades against the occupation, the silencing of dissent during the escalation by the Israeli state and other topics.

For a very thoughtful series of podcasts about the situation in Palestine, check out the two recent episodes of the Its Going Down podcast (1st and 2nd).

Palestinian Social Media Suggestions:

Antifascists Repressed in Budapest

Following this, you’ll hear a segment by A-Radio Berlin (a co-member of the Channel Zero Network as well as the A-Radio Network with The Final Straw) about repression of antifascists recently under the far right Hungarian administration of Victor Orban. This also appeared in the November 2023 episode of Bad News, the monthly English-language podcast of the A-Radio Network.
