The Al-Aqsa Flood operation, which took place one year ago today, was perhaps one of the most important blows against U.S. imperialism that we’ve ever seen—both ideologically and materially. Nothing can ever be the same—and it shouldn’t, because what we considered normal, if we even thought about it at all, was a nightmare for the vast majority of people on the planet. The Global South and the Resistance Axis that has taken up the fight against the U.S. and Israel’s ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza, have shown themselves to be a leading force against U.S. imperialism, earth’s greatest enemy.  In this episode, we’re going to explore the Al-Aqsa Flood military operation from a year ago and contextualize it within the broader resistance movement against U.S. imperialism and the Zionist entity (Israel) that helps to uphold it. And we’ve brought on the perfect guest to walk us through it all. <a href= "https://x.com/capassomat">Matteo Capasso</a> is Marie Curie Fellow at the University of Venice.

In today’s episode we’ll take a deep dive into the history of resistance in the region and its context in broader resistance movements in the Global South. We’ll explore the history of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other parts of the resistance, talk about the overall impact that the Palestinian resistance has had, and explore how we in the imperial core can contribute to the destruction of the U.S. empire and support the resistance against it in the Global South.

Palestine Pt. 13: Al-Aqsa Flood and the Resistance Axis w/ Matteo Capasso

Oil is much more than just a source of energy—it’s a commodity that has shaped—and has been shaped—by the forces of capitalism perhaps more so than any other commodity. The story of oil is one of monopoly capitalism, one of imperialism, one of cheap labor, resource extraction, ecosystem devastation, climate change, assassinations, environmental disasters, genocides—the list goes on. Oil is the commodity which not just lubricates the actual, literal machinery driving the system—but which also lubricates the entire process of U.S. imperialism—the blood flowing through the empire’s many tentacles wrapped around the globe. As today’s guest has written, “Oil's centrality stems from what it does for the imperatives of accumulation: its ability to accelerate and expand capital's turnover, cheapen the costs of production (including labor), and knit together an international market. No other commodity plays this role.” Adam Hanieh is a Palestinian professor at the Institute for Arab and Islamic Studies at the University of Exeter. He is the author of <a href= "https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/555-lineages-of-revolt">Lineages of Revolt: Issues of Contemporary Capitalism in the Middle East</a>, published by Haymarket Books, and most recently, <a href= "https://www.versobooks.com/products/2760-crude-capitalism?srsltid=AfmBOorbWnhraJB2kgbSIIkYNk1pgAuHy6SJRiWBPZedXETxZ1O9EHb9"> Crude Capitalism: Oil, Corporate Power, and the Making of the World Market</a>, published by Verso. Adam was on the show last year to talk about the political economy of Palestine, part of our ongoing series on Palestine.In this episode we explore the early history of oil, its emergence as a fuel source and how it eventually overtook other fuels like coal as the primary energy source of capitalism. We explore the role that oil has played in shaping geopolitics—from colonialism to coups, assassinations, and more, focusing on the way that oil has shaped the Middle East to this day. We talk about the major oil companies and how the world market for oil works, and finally, we bring into stark relief the environmental implications of this hydrocarbon and the way that oil companies continue to dominate and shape our response to climate change.

Thank you. How do we resource the necessary work to dismantle capitalism and transition to a more democratic, just and regenerative economy—especially when capital will fight and/or co-opt any attempt to disrupt the status quo that they benefit from and when capital owns and controls most foundations and granting institutions?  This is the important and highly relevant question we will tackle today with our two guests Nairuti Shastry and Zac Chapman. Nairuti is a racial and economic justice researcher-practitioner and the Founder and Principal of Nuance, a social impact consulting firm, as well as a senior researcher at <a href= "https://www.belovedeconomies.org/research-team-bios/nairuti-shastry"> Beloved Economies</a>.  Zac is the Resource Mobilization Director at the <a href="https://neweconomy.net/">New Economy Coalition</a>, a steering committee member of Massachusetts Solidarity Economy Network, and board member of <a href= "https://littlesis.org/">LittleSis</a>. Together they recently wrote an article titled, <a href= "https://forgeorganizing.org/article/will-revolution-be-funded">“Will the Revolution be Funded?”</a> published by The Forge.  In this conversation we explain why it is so hard to find funding to do anti-capitalist movement work and how we can find aligned funding both within and outside of mainstream philanthropy. We learn about ways that activists and organizations are working to fight against and transform the nonprofit industrial complex and the existing philanthropic culture and institutions. And finally, we ask what it truly means to resource the revolution and support ourselves beyond financial capital.  Further resources: <ul> <li class="MsoNormal"><a href= "https://forgeorganizing.org/article/will-revolution-be-funded">Will the Revolution be Funded?</a></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJwerUhUs9o">Will the Revolution be Funded?

Thank you.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;How do we resource the necessary work to dismantle capitalism and transition to a more democratic, just and regenerative economy—especially when capital will fight and/or co-opt any attempt to disrupt the status quo that they benefit from and when capital owns and controls most foundations and granting institutions? &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This is the important and highly relevant question we will tackle today with our two guests Nairuti Shastry and Zac Chapman. Nairuti is a racial and economic justice researcher-practitioner and the Founder and Principal of Nuance, a social impact consulting firm, as well as a senior researcher at &lt;a href= "https://www.belovedeconomies.org/research-team-bios/nairuti-shastry"&gt; Beloved Economies&lt;/a&gt;.  Zac is the Resource Mobilization Director at the &lt;a href="https://neweconomy.net/"&gt;New Economy Coalition&lt;/a&gt;, a steering committee member of Massachusetts Solidarity Economy Network, and board member of &lt;a href= "https://littlesis.org/"&gt;LittleSis&lt;/a&gt;. Together they recently wrote an article titled, &lt;a href= "https://forgeorganizing.org/article/will-revolution-be-funded"&gt;“Will the Revolution be Funded?”&lt;/a&gt; published by The Forge. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In this conversation we explain why it is so hard to find funding to do anti-capitalist movement work and how we can find aligned funding both within and outside of mainstream philanthropy. We learn about ways that activists and organizations are working to fight against and transform the nonprofit industrial complex and the existing philanthropic culture and institutions. And finally, we ask what it truly means to resource the revolution and support ourselves beyond financial capital. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Further resources:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href= "https://forgeorganizing.org/article/will-revolution-be-funded"&gt;Will the Revolution be Funded?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJwerUhUs9o"&gt;Will the Revolution be Funded?

[TEASER] Will the Revolution Be Funded? w/ Nairuti Shastry and Zac Chapman

Capitalism’s addiction to growth doesn’t just show up in the external world. It can also be found inside us—in our manufactured desire for more and better. Not only do we have to keep wanting to keep the machine going, we have to keep wanting what is “scarce” and easily privatizable or commodifiable so that the capitalist class can continue to profit. <a href="http://www.criticalhedonisms.com/">Critical hedonism(s)</a> is an approach to pleasure and care that is critical of capitalism. It is a politics of pleasure that invites us to remake our desires to be less antisocial, competitive, and harmful, and to instead be more prosocial, collaborative and mutually beneficial.  The idea of critical hedonism(s) has been deeply studied and explored by our guests in today’s episode. <a href= "https://twitter.com/zarinahagnew">Zarinah Agnew</a> is a trained neuroscientist formerly at University College London, and then UCSF, a self-described guerrilla scientist, and part of the <a href="https://beyondreturn.org/">Beyond Return</a> organization. <a href="https://twitter.com/ericrogers999">Eric Wycoff Rogers</a> is a historian, writer, community organizer, and designer currently based in London. Eric runs a thirdspace project in London, convenes a discussion series on the politics of pleasure, and is the author of the <a href="http://www.criticalhedonisms.com/">Critical Hedonist Manifesto</a>. This is Eric and Zarinah’s second time on the podcast, they joined us in 2022 to talk about <a href= "https://sites.libsyn.com/435210/website/fully-automated-luxury-communism-with-zarinah-agnew-and-eric-wycoff-rogers-in-conversation"> Fully Automated Luxury Communism</a>, which is a great compliment to this episode. This is also a great episode following our most recent conversation with Jason Hickel, <a href= "https://sites.libsyn.com/435210/better-lives-for-all-w-jason-hickel"> Better Lives for All</a>. Where that conversation focused on human needs, this one takes up the topic of human wants.  In this conversation, we explore what capitalism tells us to desire and why, we interrogate what is truly “cheap,” “expensive,” and “valuable,” and explore what it would be like to participate in a politics of pleasure based on critical hedonism(s)—creating conditions and opportunities for distributed pleasure that don’t cause harm to people or the planet. Finally, we are invited to learn about community gatherings and how to do the work of reclaiming and remaking pleasure.

Finally, we are invited to learn about community gatherings and how to do the work of reclaiming and remaking pleasure.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Further Resources:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href= "http://www.criticalhedonisms.com/"&gt;Critical Hedonist Manifesto&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href= "http://www.criticalhedonisms.com/"&gt;Critical Hedonism(s)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href="https://beyondreturn.org/"&gt;Beyond Return&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href= "https://twitter.com/DecodingLabs"&gt;Decoding Labs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href= "https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-joyless-economy-9780195073478?cc=us&amp;lang=en&amp;"&gt; The Joyless Economy, by Tibor Scitovsky&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href= "https://us.macmillan.com/books/9780374721039/therighttosex"&gt;The Right to Sex, by Amia Srinivasan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href= "https://www.thezeromarginalcostsociety.com/"&gt;The Zero Marginal Cost Society&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href= "https://dinnerdocument.com/2019/04/30/i-dream-of-canteens/"&gt;I Dream of Canteens&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href= "https://metamoderna.org/the-listening-society-possible-and-necessary/"&gt; The Listening Society: Possible and Necessary&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href= "https://www.versobooks.com/products/929-post-growth-living?srsltid=AfmBOooXdiPygcs-gQYwGY79Jt8_KHxZJWBogInB_RECcX2AwIxcsRvD"&gt; Post-Growth Living: For An Alternative Hedonism, by Kate Soper&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href= "https://www.akpress.org/pleasure-activism.html"&gt;Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good, by Adrienne Maree Brown&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href= "http://ericwycoffrogers.com/writings/2019/5/7/becoming-feminist-consciousness-raising-and-social-ecology"&gt; Becoming Feminist: Consciousness Raising and Social Ecology, Eric Woycoff Rogers (blog)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Related Episodes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href= "https://sites.libsyn.com/435210/website/fully-automated-luxury-communism-with-zarinah-agnew-and-eric-wycoff-rogers-in-conversation"&gt; Fully Automated Luxury Communism with Zarinah Agnew and Eric Wycoff Rogers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href= "https://sites.libsyn.com/435210/better-lives-for-all-w-jason-hickel"&gt; Better Lives for All w/ Jason Hickel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href= "https://sites.libsyn.com/435210/mark-lakeman-on-grassroots-urban-placemaking-in-conversation"&gt; Grassroots Urban Placemaking with Mark Lakeman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href= "https://www.patreon.com/posts/sex-desire-and-106319371"&gt;Sex, Desire, and the Neoliberal Subject&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href= "https://www.patreon.com/posts/suburban-hell-105724503"&gt;Suburban Hell and Ugly Cities&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Intermission music: &lt;/strong&gt;Night Cafe Radio&lt;br style= "mso-special-character: line-break;" /&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Upstream is a labor of love—we couldn't keep this project going without the generosity of our listeners and fans.

Capitalism’s addiction to growth doesn’t just show up in the external world. It can also be found inside us—in our manufactured desire for more and better. Not only do we have to keep wanting to keep the machine going, we have to keep wanting...

Thank you. From the student-led encampments on college campuses all over the U.S. to direct actionists in the UK bursting through weapons factory walls with sledge hammers in their hands—the fight for Palestinian liberation in the West takes many forms. The response—repressive, heavy-handed, and fascistic—has also taken many forms, from draconian charges to outright mob violence. In this Patreon episode, we’ll take stock of some recent on-the-ground actions, from the Palestinian solidarity encampment at UCLA to the work of Palestine Action in both the US and the UK. And we’ve brought on two guests to help walk us through it all.  <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/okrasanyika/?hl=en">Sanyika</a> is the current co-chair of the <a href="https://x.com/ucla_nlg">National Lawyers Guild Chapter at UCLA</a> and a current, second year law student at UCLA who has been an organizer for the past 10 years, most recently at the UCLA student encampment for Palestine. You might have heard about the UCLA encampment after news of a violent series of attacks by Zionists hit headlines after the encampment was attacked on May 1st. The Zionist attack was followed up in the early hours of May 2nd by a police attack, where the LAPD and highway patrol attempted to clear the encampment using rubber bullets and flash bangs. The violence and brutality of the zionists and the police on those days captured the country’s attention as news feeds were packed with images and videos that left us feeling like we were staring fascism in the face. But we also saw the community response of over a thousand people who showed up to protect and defend the encampment.  Our second guest for this episode is <a href= "https://x.com/Mr_Max_Geller">Max Geller</a>, a public-facing member of <a href="https://x.com/Pal_action">Palestine Action</a> in the UK. Max is a return Patreon guest who you might recall from our episode <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/posts/palestine-pt-7-w-99738919">Palestine Pt. 7: Direct Action w/ Max Geller of Palestine Action</a>, part of our ongoing series on Palestine.  In this episode, we take a deep dive into the UCLA encampment—its origins, its demands, its fight against campus administrators, zionists, and cops, while situating this specific encampment within the broader encampment movement, which is very much still active. We also explore one of the most recent actions by Palestine Action which has left 11 direct actionists facing felony charges in the UK. We talk about the importance of direct action and organizing, what we can learn from the past eleven months of actions, the struggle for liberation both in the West and in Palestine, and how we can plug in and get involved ourselves.  Cover art: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/okrasanyika/">Sanyika</a> Further resources: <ul> <li class="MsoNormal"><a href= "https://palestineaction.org/">Palestine Action</a></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><a href= "https://www.nationalsjp.org/">Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP)</a></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://x.com/ucdivest">UC Divest</a></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://mapliberation.org/">The Mapping Project</a></li> <li class="MsoNormal">Join us in supporting Palestine at <a href= "https://www.mecaforpeace.org/">MECA</a>, <a href= "https://www.anera.org/">Anera</a>, or the <a href= "https://www.palestinercs.org/en">Palestinian Red Crescent Society</a></li> </ul> Related episodes: <ul> <li class="MsoNormal"><a href= "https://www.patreon.com/posts/palestine-pt-7-w-99738919">Palestine Pt. 7: Direct Action w/ Max Geller of Palestine Action</a></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><a href= "https://sites.libsyn.com/435210/category/Palestine?_gl=1*9fae3*_ga*MTUxMTQyODI4My4xNjUzNTE3MDAz*_ga_6MD8SMG8NT*MTcyMzc2NTY1OC4xMTE3LjEuMTcyMzc2NTY2NS41My4wLjA."> Upstream's ongoing series on Palestine</a></li> </ul> Upstream is a labor of love — we couldn't keep this project going without the generosity of our listeners and fans.
