Khadija Haynes: Discusses the idea that Marxism is Eurocentric and Anti Black

In this interview with Khadija Haynes, we have a deep conversation on Black Marxism, the Haitian Revolution, and ongoing debates around whether Marxism speaks to Black lived realities. We unpack common claims that Marxism is anti-Black or Eurocentric, examine how class, slavery, and colonial exploitation fit within a Marxist framework, and discuss the major contributions Black Marxists have made to revolutionary theory. We also address modern confusion around the term “Marxism,” why it’s used as a political scare word, and what a truly Black-centered Marxist politics looks like in practice today.

Sudip Bhattacharya: Class Struggle And The Model Minority MythIn this episode, we speak with writer and scholar Sudip Bhattacharya about his work on class, race, and solidarity within the Asian American Left.

We discuss how neoliberalism has deepened class divisions within Asian American communities, the role of grassroots organizations such as DRUM and Grassroots Asians Rising, and the challenges of building unity across diverse working-class movements. Sudip also shares insights from his broader Marxist analysis on how identity, labor, and imperialism intersect in the United States.

In this episode, we sit down with Shakara to explore the legacy and living philosophy of Marcus Garvey. Shakara shares his personal journey into Garveyism and breaks down what Garveyism truly means in the modern world. We discuss essential readings for understanding Garvey’s vision, his influence on global labor struggles, and his impact on African independence movements. The conversation also delves into the ideological links between Garveyism, the Nation of Islam, the Moorish Science Temple, and the Black Panther Party. Shakara addresses the ways Garvey shaped Rastafarianism and reggae as anti-colonial cultural forces, and how Garvey’s ideas compare to Marxist and Maoist frameworks for Black liberation. We also tackle deeper political questions, including how to understand Garvey’s views on Lenin, and whether national struggle can ever be separated from class struggle. This is a rich and challenging discussion about Black self determination, revolutionary thought, and the global influence of Garvey’s Pan-African vision.
