BBESW Podcast EP2: Feature, Not A Bug

Shada, Emmanuel, and William are back! If you liked our pilot episode, you will really enjoy this one.

Anyone who contests the status quo of state power—climate campaigners, workers, artists—risks facing its wrath.The problems aren’t individual. They’re structural. That means the solutions need to be, too. Ultimately, we ask: Can the European “peace project” be truly democratic when wedded to a capitalist system of extraction, subjugation, and racialized control?To get all our episodes right away and for free, don’t forget to subscribe!Join us as we confront the imperial core with its multifaceted peripheries.
