The Black Scare, Red Scare & So-Called Terrorism

Description
We explore the historical strategies of black radicals to resist repression, the evolution of fascism and what it means today, and the importance of mutual comradeship in sustaining movements. The discussion includes an analysis of where anti-communism and anti-Blackness intersect, the Biden administration's role in facilitating repression, the historical context of fascistic practices in the U.S., and the global implications of labeling resistance movements as 'terrorist.' The conversation also touches upon the neglected histories of colonial fascism in places like Namibia. 00:00 Crackdown on Foreign Students Supporting Terrorism01:09 Domestic Terrorism Charges and High-Profile Cases01:40 Controversial Arrests and Accusations of Terrorism02:18 US Government's Stance on Terrorism02:58 Debates on Innocence and Terrorism in Gaza04:57 US Counterterrorism Policies and Global Impact11:15 Repression of Black and Palestinian Resistance18:34 Introduction to Groundings Podcast20:20 Discussion on Black Scare and Red Scare22:58 US Capitalist Racist Society Explained32:05 True Americanism and Marginalization43:09 Legacy of Black Scare and Red Scare49:25 Intersection of Palestinian and Black Resistance50:27 The Rise of Domestic Terrorism51:57 The 1979 Turning Point52:49 The Evolution of Terrorism Discourse57:32 Anti-Communism as Governance01:03:07 Believing Our Own Analysis01:07:09 Defining Fascism and Its Implications01:19:07 Strategies of Black Radical Resistance01:23:05 Mutual Comradeship in Revolutionary Organizing01:27:49 Closing Remarks and Shoutouts
