The Migrant Workers Association organised a protest against the rising tide of racist and anti immigrant rhetoric from political parties and leaders as the elections near. Winston Peters' racist tirade against Lawrence Xu-nan in parliament, alongside his party's anti immigrant rhetoric aimed at harnessing votes by dividing the working class and distracting from failures of their policies were key issues that motivated the protest. The protest featured satirical street theater, which evoked a triggered response from Winston Peters. Among other things, we discuss the contradictions within Winston Peters' politics and the history and intent of street theater within protest movements. We’re joined by Anu Kaloti and Joe Carolan.Recorded 10/08/2026This episode’s co-hostsJosephineTimestamps0:00 Opening4:30 Background on the Protest9:20 The Power of Street Theatre15:40 Attacking Protesters20:20 Aftermath 28:20 Caucus Today35:45 Western Democracy Model57:45 ClosingIntro/Outro by Jiahu SymbolsSupport us here: https://www.patreon.com/1of200

The recent student-led uprising in India received international attention and forced concessions from the Modi government which was long seen as having few formidable political challengers at the national level. The movement has put a dent on the notion that the corporate-BJP nexus in India is infallible. Left student movements played a significant role in the success of the satirical 'Cockroach Janata Party' movement. We discuss the context of the movement, and touch upon various dimensions of the movement including the role of the media - both local and global.

Multiple justifications for the illegal war of aggression on Iran have been put forward by the US and Israel: from supporting Iranian protesters, to regime change, to preventing nuclear weapons, to reopening the Strait of Hormuz—a waterway that was already open prior to the war.

Join the panel for an up-to-date breakdown of the war that’s already reshaping our world, featuring Kyle Church (1/200), Gabriella Brayne (Anti-War Aotearoa), Dr Mahdis Azarmandi (Peace and Conflict Scholar), and Eugene Doyle (Geopolitical Writer and and host of solidarity.co.nz).
