There's a Ceasefire in Gaza. What Happens Next?
Millennials Are Killing Capitalism and the East is a Podcast will reflect upon the events of the week and talk about all of the unknowns. There is a ceasefire again, but will it hold? If we know that "Israel" violates every ceasefire, and every agreement, what form will their violation take this time? We will throughout this live-stream ask folks to support some families in Gaza who still are living in a state of tremendous devastation.

Airing More Grievances | An East is a Podcast & MAKC Fundraiser for Lifeline4Gaza
***Note: Jay and I did another fundraiser episode. This time, we used the website Lifeline4Gaza to help lift up some slow-moving campaigns. During the episode, I linked to two other campaigns whose organizers I know and who need your help: consider donating to Ahmed or Mahmoud*** As promised we are back to air more grievances! This week Sina and Jared are combining forces once again! Nora Barrows-Friedman from Electronic Intifada, and our frequent guest and comrade Alexander Aviña will be joining us, and some other special guests will join us as well! Last week Adnan Husain, Nick Estes, Mtume Gant, Sina Rahmani, and Jared Ware all joined forces for an "airing of the grievances" and to raise money for Mohammed and his siblings in Gaza For this conversation - in between the airing of the grievances - we will be promoting the work of Lifeline4Gaza. lifeline4gaza gathers links to existing appeals from families, individuals & grassroots community efforts in Gaza. Appeals are automatically ordered according to urgency, or cumulative donations, using software designed to prioritize those receiving the least donations over the past five days (calculated in real-time & accounting for currency conversions). Appeals supported by @gazafunds, @radiowatermelon & @palestineasdiqa are tagged as such (when identified). lifeline4gaza is an ever-evolving, open-source collaborative volunteer initiative to provide a lifeline to people in Gaza, Palestine during the usa-zionist genocide. Volunteers working on developing & maintaining this website met on x/twitter & can be reached at: @ll4gaza on x/twitter @lifeline4gaza on instagram Watch the video edition on The East is a Podcast YouTube channel

Pod Kapital #1: Seeing the Monster
Note: Nick Estes and I have launched a new project called Pod Kapital in which we will be reading canonical Marxist texts for weekly episodes on his Substack. I will be posting the audio editions for all my patrons but if you want to watch the video edition, you will have to sign up behind his paywall! I encourage you to do so anyway for the great content he is posting ! The Red-Brown alliance is finally happening! The American Indian-Iranian alliance, that is. Host of the East Is a Podcast, Sina Rahmani, joins the Red Scare Podcast for the "Pod Kapital" series, where we dissect and discuss classic Marxist texts. We're aiming for the fences for the first reading, starting with Karl Marx's magnum opus: Capital: A Critique of Political Economy, Vol. 1 (1867). We're offering this introduction for free, hoping that you will subscribe to the Substack to join our semi-weekly classes. This eight-week course will meet via livestream on Substack every Tuesday at 1 pm CT. Recordings will be reposted for those who cannot attend the livestreams but still want to follow along. Here's the reading and podcast schedule: September 9: Introduction: Seeing the Monster September 16: Part 1: The Commodity and Money September 23: Part 2: Money and Capital September 30: No Class October 7: No Class October 14: Part 3: Absolute Surplus Value October 21: Part 4: Relative Surplus Value October 28: Parts 5 & 6: Surplus Value and Wages November 4: Part 7: Process of Accumulation November 11: Part 8: Original Accumulation November 18: Conclusion: The Secrets of Political Economy There are several English translations of Capital. For this series, we'll be using the recent Princeton version, translated and edited by Paul Reitter. We also recommend, and will be referencing, the Ben Fowkes translation and the English version available for free at Marxists.org. Purchasing a copy of the book isn't a prerequisite for participating in this study group. (If you're interested in a critical conversation about the Princeton translation, check out the episode of Guerrilla History with Paul North and Paul Reitter.) Sina will also be referring directly to the original German texts found at the Marx-Engels-Gesamtausgabe (MEGA) archives. Jonathan Sperber's Karl Marx: A Nineteenth Century Life (2013) is an excellent intellectual biography of Karl Marx. We will be referring to it throughout the series. We hope that you read along. But we also want to provide you with enough context and analysis that may inspire you to read or give a foundational overview of Capital. Each episode will be structured with an introduction, a summary, and a critical reflection on the reading, concluding with answering subscriber questions about the text. We hope you tune in to the livestream or post your questions in the comments section or chat function. Pilamayaye ota! Many thanks for your continued support.
