(ENG) The Anarchist Group In Sudan On Why We Need Anarchism

from The Dugout | a Black anarchist podcast · host The Dugout

In this episode, Fawaz and Dr. Mohamed Abdou continue their conversation on anarchism, authoritarianism, and the future of resistance in Sudan and beyond. Beginning with the question “Do we need anarchism?”, the discussion explores anarchism not as a rigid ideology or replacement religion, but as a living culture of freedom, mutual aid, and resistance to domination. Together, they examine how authoritarianism reproduces itself through the modern state, capitalism, propaganda, nationalism, and even within revolutionary movements themselves.The episode dives into the limits of armed struggle in Sudan, the failures of nationalist and Marxist movements, and the dangers of revolutionary groups becoming authoritarian structures of their own. Fawaz reflects on the Sudanese revolution, the collapse of resistance committees, the rise of militias like the RSF, and why many armed movements ultimately become absorbed into the systems they claim to fight. The conversation also explores spirituality, Islamic anarchism, anti-colonial struggle, and the importance of building counter-propaganda and grassroots systems rooted in solidarity rather than hierarchy.From the Zapatistas to Palestine, from the Makhnovists to Sudan’s local mutual aid networks, this episode asks what real liberation could look like in a world shaped by empire, war, and centralized power. Rather than offering easy answers, the conversation challenges listeners to think critically about revolution, culture, violence, and how communities can build alternatives beyond the state.English Transcript: substack.com/pub/tdugout/p/eng-the-anarchist-group-in-sudanCHAPTERS00:00 Episode Intro and Links01:22 Why We Need Anarchism05:16 Belonging and Practice06:31 Martyrdom and Organization09:01 Islamic Anarchism and State Power12:54 Counter Propaganda in Revolution17:00 Goals of Anarchism18:22 Armed Struggle in Sudan20:48 Janjaweed and Brutalization23:25 Global Struggles and Identity25:57 Closing Thanks and FarewellStay connected with The Dugout!
