Folge vom 06.04.2023Long Reads: Mariátegui's Marxism w/ Mike GonzalezIn the past few years, Peru has experienced several waves of political turbulence. The latest cycle of unrest began when Pedro Castillo was ousted as president last December. State security forces have killed dozens of people protesting against Castillo’s removal from office.The political questions being posed in Peru and other Latin American countries today have a long history behind them. A century ago, the Peruvian intellectual José Carlos Mariátegui tackled many of those questions in his work, from the legacy of European colonial rule to the struggle of indigenous communities for rights and recognition. Mariátegui died at the age of just thirty-five, but his political writings became a touchstone for Latin American radicals.Historian Mike Gonzalez joins Long Reads to discuss Mariátegui. Mike is the author of several books, including In The Red Corner: The Marxism of José Carlos Mariátegui.Read Mike's piece, "José Carlos Mariátegui Was the Great Pioneer of Latin American Marxism" here: https://jacobin.com/2023/02/jose-carlos-mariategui-latin-america-marxism-indigenous-inca-united-frontLong Reads is a Jacobin podcast looking in-depth at political topics and thinkers, both contemporary and historical, with the magazine’s longform writers.

Folge vom 06.04.2023Jacobin Radio: Crises in France and IsraelSuzi talks to Sebastian Budgen and Yoav Peled about two existential crises rocking the social order. First in France, where President Macron used constitutional powers to bypass parliament and impose deeply unpopular pension reform. This move has provoked one of the largest waves of continuous popular mobilization since May 1968. The second crisis is in Israel, where half the population has taken to the streets and shut down their workplaces in a spontaneous protest over Prime Minister Netanyahu’s moves to destroy judicial independence and the sacking of his defense minister. A large chunk of the military stopped their training in protest. Public outrage on the streets has compelled Netanyahu to put his anti-democratic moves on hold, whereas in France, Macron is intransigent in the face of a united trade union front and ever more people hitting the streets. In response, he has unleashed unprecedented security measures, meaning more police violence against peaceful demonstrators. We get the big picture with analyses from Sebastian Budgen in France and Yoav Peled in Israel.Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman features conversations with leading thinkers and activists, with a focus on labor, the economy, and protest movements.
