For this episode, the crew discuss two recent articles. The first, 'The Specificity of Imperialism' by Salar Mohandesi, engages with some recent debates around whether 'imperialism' is still a relevant concept for understanding contemporary capitalism.   In the second piece, 'Towards an East Asian Solidarity from Below', South Korean militant Myungkyo Hong argues in favor of a recalibrated internationalism 'from below' and puts forward his own understanding of East Asia as both a geopolitical identity and a unique terrain of class struggle.

We chat about some of the various issues these provocative articles bring up and more, enjoy! The articles discussed: https://viewpointmag.com/2018/02/01/the-specificity-of-imperialism/
