Over the past week, Israel has begun a major escalation against Hezbollah in Lebanon with the "pager attack" on the Lebanese population, assassinations of senior Hezbollah leadership and airstrikes in southern Lebanon that has killed at least 500 people and led to thousands to flee their homes. Israel has called this strategy "De-escalation through escalation," and done it with the full support of the Biden-Harris administration. In our latest episode, Scott talks with host and producer of Breakthrough News Eugene Puryear about the escalation, how it effects politics and movement politics in the 2024 U.S. presidential campaign. They also talk in depth about the connections between the black liberation movement and the Free Palestine movement. They also discuss why black churches and organized labor have supported a ceasefire, why the mainstream environmental groups haven't. And finally how there is increasing support of socialism, dislike of capitalism in the U.S. and the backlash to that growing consciousness.

Richard Slotkin has written some of the more important books explaining the way Americans have created myths to justify slavery, repression, and empire, including "Regeneration Through Violence," "The Fatal Environment," and "Gunfighter Nation." His new book, "A Great Disorder," summarizes his previous ideas and take us to the present, with significant analyses of American from Reagan to the present, with ideas about the way Reagan and Bush in particular brought back the idea of the frontier and the cowboy to exploit and protect it. In our latest episode, we discussed with him the Obama years, his failure to tell a compelling story, and the culture wars and intensification of gun culture in response. And we spend a lot of time discussing Trump's use of old myths about violence and white supremacy to create a Confederate restoration project. Bio//Richard Slotkin is a cultural critic and historian. He is the Olin Professor of English and American Studies, Emeritus at Wesleyan University. He is author of numerous books around myth and narrative related to the American west, the frontier and American society in general.

In 2004, organizer and arts organizer David Solnit published the anthology "Globalize Liberation: How to Uproot the System and Build a Better World." In the introduction he said, âthe new radicalism looks different everywhere,â and cited the Zapatista rebellion in Chiapas, Mexico, as a pivotal moment in his understanding of the new radicalism. âThe Zapatistas held that there are multiple valid frameworks to look at the world,â and contrasted this outlook with the âcookie-cutter modelâ of the past, epitomized by the Soviet Union. The book served as an organizers guide, but the many chapters described a movement of movements that emerged in the post-Cold War era. The movements that challenged neo-liberal institutions like the World Trade Organization, the World Bank and the Free Trade Area of the Americas; and the U.S. empire's invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. The movements that later lead to Occupy, the global climate justice movements, a labor resurgence and efforts to fight empire and genocide in Palestine and other parts of the world. Scott talks with long time friend and comrade David Solnit (@dsolnit) about that movement of movements, the moment in the early 2000s it came out of, lessons learned and how the book still still applies to movement organizing twenty years later. Bio//David co-founded Art and Revolution Collective in the San Francisco Bay Area, and organized as part of the Direct Action Network in Seattle in 1999 and Direct Action to Stop the War in San Francisco in 2003. He is an arts organizer with the Climate Justice Arts Project--working to center arts organizing and narrative. He edited/co-authored "Globalize Liberation" and co-authored"The Battle of the Story of the Battle of Seattle." ----------------Outro- "Clandestino" by Manu Chao Links//+ Sept. 17: GLOBALIZE LIBERATION, NOT CORPORATE POWER! 25 Years Since The Shutdown Of The WTO (https://bit.ly/4el2bb6)+ Globalize Liberation (https://bit.ly/globalizeliberation)Follow Green and Red//+G&R Linktree: â â â https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcastâ â â +Our rad website: â â â https://greenandredpodcast.org/â â â + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/uvrdubcM)Support the Green and Red Podcast//+Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast+Or make a one time donation here: â â â https://bit.ly/DonateGandRâ â â Our Networks//+We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: â â â https://www.laborradionetwork.org/â â +We're part of the Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork+Listen to us on WAMF (90.3 FM) in New Orleans (https://wamf.org/)This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

In our latest episode, returning to a theme we discussed frequently in 2020-2021 we talked about the various ruling class forces opposed to Donald Trump's candidacy. America is a right-wing country with no mass organized left resistance, so finding and exploiting fissures in the ruling class is a useful tactic. We discussed the way both candidates, Trump and Harris, take reactionary positions on key issues so there's really no space for a left vision of the future. And making sure that the country stays the way it is, with profound gaps in wealth and poverty and a ruling class more solidly in control than ever, is the main task of the corporate oligarchy. To that end, in our latest episode, we discussed the way the Democrats have embraced GOP politicians, especially the demonic Cheney family. We talked about the various corporate leaders who are endorsing and funding Harris, and military officials who prefer her interventionism to Trump's chaotic uncertainty.Trump is a major destabilizing force and the capitalists understand that Harris is actually a far better steward of their interests than the erratic and addled Trump.So check it out.-----------------------------------------Outro- "The Dick Song" by the MinistryFollow Green and Red//+G&R Linktree: â â â https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcastâ â â +Our rad website: â â â https://greenandredpodcast.org/â â â + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/uvrdubcM)Support the Green and Red Podcast//+Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast+Or make a one time donation here: â â â https://bit.ly/DonateGandRâ â â Our Networks//+We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: â â â https://www.laborradionetwork.org/â â +We're part of the Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork+Listen to us on WAMF (90.3 FM) in New Orleans (https://wamf.org/)This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

H. Rap Brown once said "violence is as American as cherry pie." Weâve seen an increase in rhetoric around violence in American politics particularly from the far right. We've seen many incidents of escalated violence that include the Capitol riot on January 6th, 2021 and the recent assassination attempt of Donald Trump. In our latest, we dive into the question of political violence with American University professor, and author of "Nasty Politics," Thomas Zeitzoff (@zeitzoff).

Two decades ago, a group of Indonesian agricultural workers in the Sumatran uplands began occupying the agribusiness plantation near their homes. In the years since, members of this remarkable movement have reclaimed collective control of their land and cultivated diverse agricultural forests on it, repairing the damage done over nearly a century of abuse.
Scott talks with environmental anthropologist David Gilbert (@david_e_gilbert) to delve into the history and politics of Indonesia's landback movements. They discuss how grassroots agrarian workers organized to resist corporate and governmental land grabs under the authoritarian regime of Suharto and the New Order. They also get into the Cold War politics of the region, U.S. intervention in Indonesia and current political developments in Indonesia.
Bio//David Gilbert is an environmental anthropologist with a special interest in social movements, ecological change, and post-development theory. David is a postdoctoral research fellow in the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona.

The climate crisis has propelled nuclear energy back into fashion. Its proponents argue we already have the technology of the future and that it only needs perfection and deployment.
The new book by M.V. Ramana, “Nuclear Is Not the Solution,” demonstrates why this sort of thinking is not only naïve but dangerous.
In our latest episode, we talk about nuclear energy not being the solution to the climate crisis with author and scientist Dr. M.V. Ramana.

In a landmark case in Florida, a federal jury has ordered Chiquita Brands International to pay over $38 million in damages to the families of eight Colombian men who were killed by paramilitaries the banana giant funded.

A cherished coastal preserve is under attack by the campus administration that was appointed last year by Governor DeSantis in the right-wing takeover underway at New College of Florida. The new administration wants to tear down this small tree preserve, home to Osprey and other wildlife, supposedly for a sports facility. Local resistance has been building to resist the "development" project at Bayfront Uplands Preserve. In our latest, Scott talks with local organizer Jinx Ashforth about the right wing take over of New College of Florida, and the fight over the Uplands Preserve. Bio//Jinx Ashforth (2001-2005) is the author/artist of New College's first graphic novel thesis, and is currently creating a new one on the effects of the Takeover on our unique community. Jinx also has been involved in the Save New College campaign and the Save Uplands campaign (@SaveUplands). --------------------------------------Outro- "Green and Red Blues" by MoodyLinks//+Save New College: https://savenewcollege.org/+IGD: The Fight for Trees (and Against Fascism) at New College Florida (https://bit.ly/3W879ln)Follow Green and Red//+G&R Linktree: â â â https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcastâ â â +Our rad website: â â â https://greenandredpodcast.org/â â â + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/ev5xKJer)Support the Green and Red Podcast//+Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast+Or make a one time donation here: â â â https://bit.ly/DonateGandRâ â â Our Networks//+We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: â â â https://www.laborradionetwork.org/â â +We're part of the Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork+Listen to us on WAMF (90.3 FM) in New Orleans (https://wamf.org/)This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

Within the past four decades, we’ve seen the rise of neo-liberalism, or so-called "Free Trade," free trade agreements and various other treaties and agreements that reduce and eliminate barriers and regulation for capital to invest in different nation states. While there has been some resistance, capital and investments march on. Corporations and investors have created tools such as "international investment treaties (IITs)" to continue their profit-making ventures. These treaties result in litigation that can undermine, environmental, human rights and labor protections. This is particularly important as the world is gripped in a climate crisis and regulations on carbon emissions, human rights, and fossil fuel extraction are vital.
In our latest we talk with the director of Columbia's Center on Sustainable Investment (@CCSI_Columbia) Lisa Sachs about IITs and the legal tools corporations use to settle disputes with national governments when regulation gets in the way.

With the recent news about Noam Chomsky's condition and absence from public life, and the outpouring of respect and admiration from so many people who have learned so much from him (along with the typical haters), we got together to discuss what he's mean and what he's contributed to us on the Left. We discussed his contributions in the fields of linguistics and knowledge, and media analysis. Then we discussed his advocacy of free expression . . . he believed that we had to defend all rights to free speech, even if uttered by someone we disagree with. Next we talked about his important work in describing the way liberals really acted, especially w/ regard to their war in Vietnam. We also discussed one of the areas where his work has been most important, and overlapped w/ one of our favorite topics on Green & Red--the dangers to the left of embracing conspiracy theories and the "deep state," especially with regard to the JFK assassination. And finally we covered his ideas of "intellectual self-defense" and the importance of telling everyone the truth against the propaganda of people in power.-----------------------------Outro- Noam Chomsky on the legacy of JFK Links//+Green and Redâs Noam Chomsky playlist (https://bit.ly/3xaJWoX)Follow Green and Red//+G&R Linktree: â â â https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcastâ â â +Our rad website: â â â https://greenandredpodcast.org/â â â + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/w4Cgpe9G)Support the Green and Red Podcast//+Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast+Or make a one time donation here: â â â https://bit.ly/DonateGandRâ â â Our Networks//+We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: â â â https://www.laborradionetwork.org/â â +We're part of the Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork+Listen to us on WAMF (90.3 FM) in New Orleans (https://wamf.org/)This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.
